nessaxoNov 12, 2015

Im going for a consultation to have botox injected in my laugh lines and forehead wrinkles... but I also want to get lip fillers done during the same visit. Is this possible without causing harm to my body and infection? Never done any of this before so I want to ensure everything goes smoothly.
