FEMALE VOICE: I was going to someone else for a BOTOX and it was a gentleman plastic surgeon. And it always hurt really bad and I bruised really bad. I started getting BOTOX because I had migraines. And I read in my health magazine, this was probably 10, 15 years ago, that if you got BOTOX in the hairline and in the back of the neck, it would prevent basically migraines. So I started going to him for that. And he had read about it and said yeah, let's try it out. I've never done it on anyone. And it worked. It would last for three months and I would not have a migraine. And before that, I had migraines probably every couple, well, three or four times a month and the type that you can't get out of bed, in the dark room. So little by little, I started reading more and more about BOTOX for the face and, you know, fine lines. And he started doing that. And it always hurt really bad. And everyone else I would talk to would say, you know, it doesn't hurt and you shouldn't be bruising. So a friend of mine that was coming here suggested I try Dr. Kristen Richards and I did and it didn't hurt at all and I don't bruise. So I think it's all in, you know, their technique. So I started coming to her many years ago and I'm really happy with the result. And for me, it's kind of like buying time using BOTOX and using fillers. I'm 44 and I feel good. I feel like she's helped me out a lot. BOTOX, it takes a couple of days, but you feel great. You see those lines that had started coming back as it wears off so that probably for me it's the fourth to fifth day. I'll then look in the, you know, when I'm putting on my makeup in the mirror and I'll see that those lines are, they're gone. And oh, it's a great feeling. Like I said, it's buying me more time is how I look at it.
