Would You Ever Get Botox?

Would You Ever Get Botox?
The allure of Botox is obvious: it gets rid of your wrinkles.
The downside is perhaps just as clear: it does so by surging botulism toxin into your face, temporarily paralyzing your facial muscles by blocking nerve signals. It's also expensive, and you run the risk of frozen forehead syndrome (have you seen Courteney Cox trying to express any emotion on her new show Cougar Town? It's not happening).
But aging gracefully has gone out of style, and even men are getting Botox these days: David Hasselhoff and Brad Pitt are reported fans.
Would you ever try Botox (when you're older)? Do you know anyone who's used it?

I don't know of anyone that actually uses Botox but I could see myself getting this when I'm older.

By the time I'm old enough to get "Botox" something better will be out. And if it isn't painful, I will probably get it done.

I know my dad uses it whenever he feels like he's getting bad wrinkles, but I've never wanted to. I just want to... age naturally, as crazy as that sounds. XD

I don't ever see myself getting botox. I can't even consider it. One, I hate needles. (The only time I allow a needle near me is when I'm in the doctor's office or I'm giving blood...and even then it's traumatizing. For me AND the nurse.) Two, I like the idea of aging gracefully. It's like my problem with breast implants, almost. At least I can say I aged naturally. I don't want to be an 80 year old woman with no wrinkles and perfect breasts. It's not right.

Yes. I don't need it yet, but I have a savings account which is going towards these kind of neccessities in the future.

While I'm still young I am going to stick to a healthy non-toxic diet, and moisturize my skin, and protect it with sunscreen..... Then maybe when I'm 50 I won't have to need Botox.
