Botox

A British doctor said at a conference of plastic surgeons in England that Botox treatments have grown in popularity and many patients show signs of addiction

The injections, which smooth facial wrinkles, last four to six months with a year’s supply costing around £900. FOUR in TEN Botox users show signs of being addicted to it.

Doctors fear patients are demanding unnecessary jabs before Botox has worn off because they are hooked on their new look or get a buzz from the treatment.

Botox changes the physical appearance of a person’s skin or face, and that ultimately leads to improved body image. This enhances psychological well-being … It is easy to see how people could become addicted.”

I have never tried Botox but I think I have become addicted to its results; it makes women of my age smooth skinned and one hell of a lot better looking. After all I have spent years perfecting the art of woman watching. Even the wife will now point out a particularly attractive specimen. Long may that continue.
