Tell me I’m not the only one that didn’t have a skincare routine until I entered my thirties. I’ve come a long way, but have yet to pull the trigger on Botox. It seems like it’s such a hot topic right now, and I can’t say I haven’t had questions about Botox myself. 

I invited my guest, Claire O’Bryan, on the podcast to answer all the questions about injections. She debunks a lot of myths that circle around Botox, some that even surprised me!

Claire O’Bryan is a nurse practitioner, wife, mother of two girls and the host of the Dabble Co Podcast. She has been in practice since 2010 where she started out in oncology. Oncology is where she had her first interaction with injections, often used as a form of treatment with cancer patients. She co-founded a national concierge esthetics practice called the Skin Clique where she has taken her knowledge of Botox to the cosmetic arena.

• Non-cosmetic uses of Botox that can be covered by insurance
• Recommendations for a basic skincare routine
