Why I Started Aesthetic Treatments in My 30s (And I’m So Glad I Did) – When I turned 36, I had a mini panic moment.
It wasn’t a midlife crisis or anything dramatic—it was more like… I didn’t recognize the woman in the mirror.
The person I felt like on the inside—energized, creative, thriving—didn’t match what I saw on Zoom calls or in photos. My skin looked tired. The lines on my forehead were sticking around longer. And for the first time, I caught myself wondering…
“Should I be doing something about this?”
Aesthetic Treatments in My 30s
I Didn’t Want to Look Fake.
Let’s get one thing straight—I wasn’t trying to chase some impossible standard or erase all signs of aging. I just wanted to look refreshed.
But I had questions:
- Is 36 too young for Botox?
- Will it look frozen or obvious?
- What if it changes my face?
- Can I even afford this?
The truth? I wasn’t looking for a new face—I just wanted to feel like me again… with a little help.
A Friend Sent Me to Dr. Scott’s
My best friend had been seeing Dr. Scott’s team in Charlotte for years and said,
“They don’t overdo it. They actually listen.”
That made me feel safe—because what I needed was trust, not pressure.
At my consult, I talked about my goals:
✔️ Smooth my forehead lines
✔️ Boost my skin’s glow
✔️ Look rested—not “done”
They recommended a personalized approach:
- Preventative Botox to soften expression lines
- Microneedling to improve tone and texture
- A PRP facial for that natural collagen-boosted glow
The Results? Subtle but Powerful.
Within weeks, I saw a difference—not just in my skin, but in my confidence.
- My forehead lines? Faded.
- My skin? Brighter and smoother.
- My makeup? Glided on like silk.
- And me? I felt aligned. Like what I saw in the mirror finally matched how I felt inside.
Even my coworkers said I looked “well-rested” (which, honestly, was a miracle since I’m not sleeping any more than before 😅).
Why I’m Glad I Started in My 30s
Aesthetic care isn’t about vanity—it’s about feeling good in your skin.
Starting in my 30s let me:
- Prevent deeper wrinkles from setting in
- Support my skin before things got harder to fix
- Create a plan that felt empowering, not reactive
No one ever says, “I regret taking care of myself early.”
And now I get that.
Thinking About Aesthetics? Here’s My Advice:
Go somewhere that makes you feel seen—not sold to.
At Dr. Scott’s Restorative Health, the vibe was educational, supportive, and low-pressure. I didn’t feel rushed. I didn’t feel judged. And I didn’t leave looking like someone else.
I left looking like the best version of me.
