Priya Jones is a 42-year-old marketing...
Priya Jones is a 42-year-old marketing director and mother of two. A former college athlete, she has always been active and health-conscious, but the demanding nature of her high-stress job and busy family life began to etch deep, persistent frown lines between her brows. She noticed people often asked if she was tired or upset, even when she felt fine, which started to affect her confidence in client meetings. Her dermatologist recommended a small, conservative amount of Botox to relax the overactive corrugator muscles causing the '11' lines, explaining it would provide a more rested, approachable appearance without freezing expression. During the quick procedure, Priya felt only minor pinpricks. Over the next two weeks, she watched the deep furrows soften dramatically. The result was subtle; she could still frown and express herself, but her default face looked relaxed and refreshed. Emotionally, Priya moved from self-conscious frustration about her perceived 'angry' resting face to feeling like her external appearance finally matched her internal energy, professional, engaged, and approachable.
