Botox Territory
My dreams were boring last night, eg. not hearing my alarm and being late. However, today I witnessed nightmarish and dystopian dermatologic assault.
Injected chemicals bloated totally natural and beautiful lines. This woman was stabbed right between the eyes. A 38-year-old lady had her "frown lines" filled with bumpy hyaluronan, probably from a horse, and I couldn't even see any lines to begin with. She paid $500 for each "removal."
Apparently the top third of the face is Botox territory. The lower two-thirds are in the realm of Restylane. The FDA only approved Restylane for frown lines, but it was going into every which where. I saw the doctor mold a woman's lips full of Restylane into different shapes with her fingers.
It was the worst kind of nightmare--the kind where you're awake.

Nerdly correction: I learned today that Restylane is made from hyaluronic acid produced by genetically engineered bacteria.
This may or may not be less scary than HA (as they call it) procured from a horse. They also take it from rooster combs, which I think were the original source. But I digress.
