Although Botox and filler could be beneficial, it is NOT A NEED. Some people choose to age gracefully and accept the way their skin will sag. No shade either way.

Yes, didn’t mean to imply anyone NEEDS it, but it’s very funny (in my experience because I have talked about my own filler and botox experiences online for the last 4-5 years) how when the topic is brought up, there is always a population of people who have to announce how much they will age gracefully lol.

I know what you meant.He’s just a regular person to me.and that is still,just his opinion.just because something is in cosmos does not make it true.lol.but I’m not debating whether or not self esteem is a higher need.what I’m saying is that Botox isn’t a priority for everyone in order to feel good about themselves.what she said was Botox is not a NEED.I agree.is self esteem a need? Yes,but everyone has different things that make them feel good about themselves which in turn boosts their self esteem.some people like to wear designer clothes some like to get their nails and hair done some don’t care about that and having a bunch of degrees is what does it for them to really feel good about themselves.again ,everyone has individual needs inside of that higher need.Botox may be a need for you to feel good.it isn’t for me.and that’s ok

Results are not immediate but they are effective. Though costly I cut my budget in other areas. I rarely get other beauty treatments.

Hey! I didn't mean for it to come out that way---it's that in my experience talking about filler and botox for the last 4-5 years, it’s very funny how there is always a population of people who have to announce how much they don't need filler and botox and will age gracefully when nobody asked...lol.

Getting fillers seems very iffy. A good outcome mainly depends on IF you choose a good doctor that actually knows what they are doing. The doc in this video answered a lot of questions, but the answers I am sure are going to scare a lot of people away from these procedures. Atrophying muscles, overfilling, etc etc. Some of the outcomes and side effects are not worth it for a lot of people.

Thank you for this. I’ve always been made fun of my nose and my lips. My dad is black and we have the same nose. I now embrace it because what I thought was ugly, is something I cherish because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Anyone that gets fillers/botox, it’s a personal choice and it’s not for me to judge or even say don’t do it. I just want to age like my abuela. This content is what I live for 🥰

Botox and fillers are those who don’t want to age.

[@nancylomendez]

@@Covers-and-Commentary I’m really sorry. I go through story time with how I wrote my comments. It’s is about aging. My only knowledge growing up in Puerto Rico was botox was for the rich and famous and I’m now understanding filler and how some use it to change their appearance. Watching this video was very informative and I appreciate it. I’m sorry for the ignorant comment at the beginning.

[@deniseoates7147]

I have Hemifacial syndrome and the neurologist was suggestion botox that would have to be done on a schedule basic. I looked up the Boxtoc and they did say that it does effect the muscle tissue in time. so I refuse this remedy because ran into a lady that had the same condition and she said it made her face look like she had a stroke. Well if you see rich people get bad results, then it could scare people off because if celebrities' can afford the best doctors and look like a hot mess, who have time to hide in their house if things don't come out right those procedures are not free so on Monday they got to go to work. And just like the doctor in this video said when black people are not looking at getting these type of procedures done it take away the possible source of income from those in this field. Also with more mixture in our DNA, exposure to toxins, stress and harsh environment it no longer true that all black don't crack. You know that it probably important to have someone that looks at this as an art and not just a procedure. Because the filler if done too severe it would seem it could stretch out the skin and then more fillers would be needed next time. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.

[@cupkakestone3476]

Well said, 'As Art', same with Dentist, Plastic Surgery, 😊

[@pearlcnrd]

She said it made her face look that way, or did it actually make it look that way? It is really not that difficult to do research about botox, and the doctors you want to treat, and if they have treated patients with your condition. It seems uneducated, to make a decision based on one person, I do wonder how botox helps treat hemifacial syndrome, all that I can find is that botox is a treatment option for hemifacial spasm. I've probably searched the wrong thing.

[@yaaharriott]

@@pearlcnrd She said that she did look up the treatment. When you are suffering from a condition you don't want the treatment it to make it worse. Even though all medical procedures come with risk, long term effects and side effects are crucial. Testimony from someone who has been through it and suffers from the same ailment is important information that should not be discounted. I agree other testimonies would be better, but it''s hard to find many people willing to talk who have the same condition and be sure they aren't being biased.🤷🏽‍♀️ This is what the medical industries does. Its filled with procedures but lacks the practical information from patients who have been through them. You never get to talk to them.

[@pearlcnrd]

@@yaaharriott I understand where this person is coming from 100%, however I do not think they should be deterred by a single persons sadly horrible turn out. I know how scary it is to hear about somebody with the same thing as you have a horrible turn out, but that should not be evidence enough to hinder treatment that may help somebody ease their symptoms, their self esteem etc. I empathize with them especially as it is something regarding their appearance too, which also heightens the stakes.

I love this topic however I don’t think he is being genuine about Botox and atrophy. People literally inject it into masseter muscles in order to atrophy them so the jaw is less pronounced . They are also used in sub occipital muscle to a weaken those muscles in order to help with migraines. Any muscle that does not move will atrophy.

[@kit0k0]

I appreciate your comment. You can’t argue with logic! Would love to hear the Dr’s rebute to this, because it makes sense!

[@michellegomez5429]

Very true and learned that in dental and pharmacy tech school.. Thanks for saying this..

[@pearlcnrd]

Botox blocks signals from the nerve to the muscle, so then the muscle cant contract. Making the muscle soft and smaller. Once the botox wears off and you continue like before those muscles will get big. Atrophy is when a body part or tissue decreases in size, if their body part or tissues was a normal size prior to atrophy. People who get botox in their masseter alot of the times get it because that muscle is over working and over developed, and working so hard it causes migraines and teeth grinding. A normal masseter muscle should not be doing that.

[@pearlcnrd]

Also you use the masseter muscle to chew which is mastication which the masseter muscle is in charge of.

[@michellegomez5429]

@@pearlcnrd Atrophy isn't when a body tissue decreases for say depending on meaning. It's when (a) body tissue and/or the muscle (s) loose effectiveness, degenerates, stop working due to no use or neglect. Botox as you said temporarily weakness/stop the use of muscles which can lead to atrophy. It can paralyze the face, reason why some ppl look lifeless, face stuck doesn't move and look like a skeleton..

I totally agree with you. I’m this society looking beautiful and young is highly prized. When people go for plastic surgery all the time they are constantly seeking beaut and youth and that can become an addiction. I’m almost 40 and yes there are some aging I see but it is what it is.
