WHY I INJECT:

Years ago, my Mom came to my office in NYC about a year after my Dad had died. She said she hadn’t recognized herself in months — she felt she had aged several years and looked tired and down-trodden. She wanted to feel and look uplifted; to see herself in the mirror as she once had looked when my Dad was alive. She wanted her eyes to look bright and her apple cheeks that my Dad loved so much to be full and uplifted. Mostly, she wanted to be revitalized and she needed something to make her feel and look rejuvenated.

I never think what I do is vain or shallow or materialistic. How we look and how we present ourselves to the world is highly personal and unique and differs from person to person. That day, I was able to provide my Mom with that pick-me-up she so needed. I still remember her looking in the mirror after we treated her and she smiled with tears in her eyes and nodded; “I look like me!” she said, finally smiling in a way I hadn’t seen in months. It is in those moments that I know what I do is meaningful and important. It is the very heart of Why I Inject.
