My Biggest Beauty Secret

Today I'm sharing my biggest beauty secret! From the time I was 13 or so, I started experiencing migraines, and they seemed the worst during the summer. It's from being in the sun (you can find me at the pool on weekends and the beach as much as possible) more often during those months. Bright sunshine or light has always hurt my eyes and will give always me a headache or migraine. A few years ago (on a beach trip naturally) a friend told me to try Botox to help with my migraines. Botox is used for other purposes than just cosmetic ones. I laughed it off but later did lots of research and decided to try it.



That was five years ago. Once a year, I get Botox in my forehead, and it has helped immensely with my migraines. And today, I'm sharing where I get it done as well as my experience.

I had to opportunity to visit Plastic Surgery Center of the South for my treatment. I did plenty of research beforehand on the facility and the staff and I was impressed. I got see the credentials as well as before/after photos. They offer a variety of services, ranging from cosmetic surgery to a medical spa.

But I don't go by just research alone. I'm big on trusting my gut. Are you like that? If the place doesn't feel right, or if the staff or doctors don't give me the right vibe, I will head out of there. And trust me, I have done it. If the staff is rude or snobby, I won't go back. If the doctor goes through a laundry list of other areas I need to "fix" without my asking, I am out of there. I've actually had these things happen in the past and that's why I've never mentioned other establishments on the blog before. But I finally found a place I love and wanted to share them with you.

Luckily, the staff and facility at http://www.plasticsurgerycenterofthesouth.net/ were stellar! The staff was so warm and welcoming from the second I entered the door to when I left, beginning with the office manager, Lori. They even contacted me after my visit. My doctor (Dr. Leake) was so kind, gentle, and completely put me at ease. He answered all of my questions and I cannot say enough good things about him.

I understand not everyone reading my experience is interested cosmetic surgery or the medical spa. But I still urge you check them out because they do skin treatments as well. Yes! I'm talking skin care, microdermabrasion, facial peels, Latisse (for lash growth) and so much more. I loved the aesthetician, and you will too. She's very knowledgable and super friendly. After being involved with the beauty world for many years, I can tell what products are good and when someone knows her stuff vs. trying to sell you something. At Plastic Surgery Center of the South, they only have the best and I loved the product line.

So here are my results after my Botox treatment! Botox has been given a bad rap, thanks to pop culture, but I wanted to show that it doesn't have to be that way! No more wrinkles in the forehead and my migraines are temporarily gone in that area. The results are temporary (4-6 months for me) but worth it. Thanks to the amazing staff at Plastic Surgery Center of the South and I highly recommend them!
