I was skeptical at first, but my experience ended up being very positive. The young man who helped me was polite, professional, and kind. His medical background showed, and I felt safe and well looked after. Everything was done correctly, and there was nothing I disagreed with. I was also a super responder to the Botox, likely due to my metabolism. He mentioned that collagen decreases with age. I looked into this later because I tend to have a very precise mind. Collagen does decline over time, but the commonly repeated “1 percent loss per year” line isn’t supported by a single, consistent scientific finding. It isn’t a measured universal rate; it’s a simplified statement that gets repeated because it sounds tidy. Some dermatology sources use the 1 percent figure as a rough teaching estimate, but it isn’t a verified biological constant. Actual studies show that collagen changes vary widely depending on genetics, hormones, sun exposure, smoking, stress, health, and even which tissue is being measured. Some people lose it more quickly, some more slowly, and the rate often changes at different stages of life. Because of this variation, a fixed number like “1 percent per year” cannot be applied reliably to everyone. For example, my older sister takes exceptional care of herself, and people often mistake her for being 19, much younger than she is. That reminded me that aging isn’t controlled by a single number. It isn’t as black-and-white as a fixed percentage. How you treat your body and skin makes a significant difference. If someone smokes or has other negative lifestyle factors, the rate of aging can increase sharply, which heavily affects reliability. Overall, the service was excellent, and I’m glad I went. Not a bad word to say.
