Janet McMahan

Janet McMahan has always been an energetic and happy person with a positive attitude. Unfortunately for her skin, she also has always been a sun-worshiper. In fact, she loved the sun so much that she used to schedule her college classes around peak tanning hours. Over the years, the repeated sun exposure took its toll on her skin, breaking down the elastin and collagen that had once kept her young skin taut and beautiful.

As she approached middle age, the strength of her skin decreased and she began noticing pronounced frown lines between her eyebrows from squinting in the sun. And, to her dismay, more and more people began asking Janet if she was angry or upset. Janet decided then and there that it was time to take action and made an appointment with a local oculoplastic surgeon.

During her initial facial analysis, Janet's physician helped her to develop a skin care regimen to help address the sun damage and also explained that the glabellar lines (the two vertical lines between her brows), which look like the number "11", were significantly contributing to the negative expression on Janet's face.

Her physician recommended treatment with BOTOX^® Cosmetic (Botulinum Toxin Type A) to relax the dominant muscles in her forehead, allowing her to lose her "11". Since receiving her first treatment of BOTOX^® Cosmetic several years ago, Janet says that people no longer comment that she looks upset and that she sees a less angry person looking back at her in the mirror.
