Botox really can help you look younger - it's not magic though, it'll never take you back to your 20s, and if you go overboard or it's poorly done you'll wind up with the classic botox lizard skin look (which generally means don't cheap out & vet your clinic). For touchup work though, and combined with a good (and sane) skincare regime, it can get some very impressive results.

(Personally I don't do it, but family members that do have found it really helps with their dysphoria about aging so... there's that!)

I saw "lizard skin" and initially read that as "don't cheap out on your vet clinic".

Also, dont get it done at some shitty medi-spa clinic that shares a parking lot with a Jimmy Johns. Go to a real dermatologist, a good one.

Yes it costs more, but it is your face. Not a thing you really want to cheap out on.

Beware places offering botox that also sell stupid stuff like led masks, overpriced skincare from weird brands that YouTube influencers peddle. Dont get it done at the dentists office (yes, some do it), dont get it done at a salon or chiropractor.

Dermatogist. A good one.
