No Downturn for Quick Cosmetic Fixes

Before the inauguration party kicks in, don't forget your Botox injections! USA Today is reporting that in lieu of the soon-to-be President Obama's inauguration festivities, people are lining up by the droves for Botox. And I thought people were scrounging for money in the midst of the recent global financial crisis, this just proves, beauty is not a cost you can afford to cut. The USA Today article says, "Washington, D.C.-area cosmetic dermatologists, and skin experts in other major cities, say despite the sagging economy, requests for quickie cosmetic fixes, such as Botox and microdermabrasion, have picked up during the last few weeks as people pretty-up for inaugural fetes" The report later said, that in recent months cosmetic dermatologists were feeling the brunt of the economic downturn, reporting major losses. DC dermatologists should be happy with the turnaround during inauguration time. So forget-a-bout the popping bottles of dom, get a prick of botox!
