Time for more Botox!

I got my first Botox treatment to my glabellar lines at the start of November (with a little extra a few weeks later).  Prior to trying it I had bought a $99 Groupon for 20 units of Botox at DLK on Avenue.  The voucher expires in April so I thought it should be used!  I don't have full movement back in my forehead yet but it's definitely wearing off.  I even felt like I was getting a tension headache during the week!

I initially thought they weren't going to help me out and allow me to make an appointment by email-it's pretty impossible to make personal calls in work-but they did in the end, thankfully.  The voucher was for nurse administered Botox.  I felt better about that after seeing Dr Kellett on the 16:9 exposé saying that she gets her nurse to do her Botox!   First appointment included a consultation with Dr Kellett though.  Initially I was scheduled for Thursday the 10th but an emergency meant that everyone that afternoon had to be rescheduled.  Luckily Dr Kellett decided to make up for it today (Saturday 12th) and they kindly slotted me in.

The clinic is lovely and on Avenue Rd in Toronto, just a little north of Whole Foods.  Everyone was absolutely lovely.  I filled out the usual medical questionnaire and a consent form.  Diana was my nurse and brought me to the treatment room to wait for Dr Kellett.  I wasn't waiting long.  They were both really nice-very friendly and chatty with a knack for putting people at ease.  We didn't discuss the Botox hugely because I'd already had it.  I asked for 5 extra units (at $12/unit) just to make sure I was definitely treated.  Diana suggested some above my brows to lift them.  I had been vaguely toying with it recently...but decided to think about it a little more first.  I asked her about my lips too.  She thought they were a good shape and colour (thanks Diana!) and said that she uses Botox herself for lip lines...which is the same as a few others (not Dr Torgerson though).  I think I might go for it next time!

The treatment was super quick and barely felt it.  It's obvious that Diana has done this thousands of times.   She gave great post-procedure instructions as well which I didn't get the last time. No more Googling!  Need not have gotten up early to go to the gym...only have to avoid exercise and lying down for 3 hours.

I also asked if I could get some Latisse and they obliged.  I liked it that I actually filled out a questionnaire about my eye health...it's another thing that wasn't covered before.  Dr Kellett and I compared our results.  We both really like it!

I think I'd be happy heading back there for other things-they have a lot on offer including peels, lasers, injectables and Dr Kellett's own line of products.  I liked the atmosphere, it was squeaky clean and everybody was lovely (and very very good).

Here's my "pre" this time.  Better camera (shudder).  Discovered that the lines show up best without the flash:

And soon I'll update my Latisse experience-the 3 month version! I started it on November 16th so sometime in the next few days.  Spoiler: the post will include the importance of an eyelash curler for crazy lashes!
