So to all you anti-botox freaks, and haters of Dr. Darm for whatever your squirrely reasons, I snub thee.

I will freely admit that I have been getting botox for those pesky little crows-feet in a preventative maintenance way for years. I certainly never once felt like I was in a puppy mill like another reviewer that shall remain as nameless as her question mark-like photo. She sort of sounds like she has an entire constellation of "issues" that are well beyond what botox is capable of fixing.

In my many years of being treated at Dr. Darm's office I have always thought of him and his office as professional, his demeanor as courteous, and if I have someone poking me in the face with a sharp needle, I don't want them to linger over the poking part. I would like to have that needle in and out of my face toute de suite. So a fast injection is a good injection. Dr. Darm and the other doctor that does the injections always do their best to avoid leaving bruises but you know what? Sometimes, despite their best efforts, a bruise will occur. Deal.

There is something that a patient can do to mitigate bruising. That is to take Arnica before and after the procedure. Arnica is a natural supplement that can help alleviate bruising. One can pick up said supplement at most any Fred Meyer, Walgreen's, Rite Aide, etc.

Now, just by writing this review, I was inspired to call and schedule an appointment and they fit me in for tomorrow. Botox works so well for me that I only go twice a year rather than the recommended 4 times a year. It's all about maintenance...
