As a matter of full disclosure I received both Botox (for wrinkle prevention) and a laser treatment (for a dilated blood vessel on the tip of my nose) three days before I heard this presentation! So I am a believer in their cosmetic applications-- but the real power of these agents is social (Botox for sweaty palms, for instance, for people who don't shake hands because of their self-consciousness) and functionally (in the case of these soldiers). I just like to think the billions and billions of dollars spent for cosmetic reasons fuels the research and development of more innovations like this that will lead to improved quality of life whether dramatic and life-changing or subtle and confidence-boosting.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16519243276118174594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1786100920660458463.post-44724359127234428722011-10-03T21:08:25.059-05:002011-10-03T21:08:25.059-05:00LOVE THIS!

So relieved to hear real docs using Botox to change people's lives rather than what I heard last week - "my derm. botoxes her forehead in the car pool line"; thanks for being part of something awesome, Julie!Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05773222460026028027noreply@blogger.com
