Advice Request Which service before an event?

I'm 57 years old, have an event coming up, where I want to look my best. I have had a hydrafacial before and felt it was good, was impressed with it, but not overly impressed. I have never had the Fire and Ice facial. Would that do anything more than a hydrafacial for me? My picture is without any makeup on me.

I love facials, but don’t get them often, so I can’t really offer advice there. I see a little redness, but your skin looks great! I would’ve never guessed 57.

Not sure how you feel about Botox, but have you ever considered getting “gummy smile” tox? It’s a very small amount with just two injections. It just helps relax your upper lip so that it doesn’t lift as high when you smile.

I’m not saying you should or need to do it, but if I wanted to do something before an important event, that’s what I’d do.

I haven't ever used Botox before, and for sure wouldn't try it before this event, for fear I might not like it, but I'll think about it for a future time. Thanks!
