Video Transcript

My name is Scout Hurd. I'm from Brookings, South Dakota. I'm a pharmacist and assistant professor of pharmacy practice at the College of Pharmacy at South Dakota State University.

What aesthetic services do you receive?

I receive Botox, and so with my fine lines around my eyes and my forehead, I receive that to help smooth those out. I get that every three months, and I've been doing that for probably 10 years now, receiving that.

When do you see results and how long do they last?

Usually, seven days you probably see the full effectiveness of it. You do see some effect after four days, but again, it's kind of just dependent on the person too. But they do say seven days, which I feel like that's when you see the maximum effect. And then that usually lasts up to three months.

Are Botox treatments painful?

I mean, it does pinch a little bit and there might be a little swelling afterwards at the site of injection, almost kind of like a little bee sting, but within 30 minutes after that, I'd be just pretty much dissipated already. I mean, I've gone to functions after having Botox done, and I felt comfortable in doing that.

Why do you receive Botox treatments?

I like it because it makes me feel good. I like how my makeup looks after I get it done. I like how I look without makeup after it's done, and it just, I don't want to even say that it gives me a boost of confidence because I feel like I already got enough confidence. It just gives me that extra swag that allows me to be me, Scout to be Scout. And there's no shame in doing something for yourself that benefits yourself and makes you feel good. At the end of the day, life's too short.

What do you tell others about Botox treatments?

The fact that I receive Botox and have received the laser treatments has been no secret to anybody. It's something that I've always been open and honest and transparent about because there might be others out there that have considered getting something like this done just because they want to do it. They want it to make them feel better, to look better. And I do it for myself. Honestly, I really don't do it for anybody else.

What do you appreciate about your care?

You know, from the second I see Tonya, she's there with open arms giving me a hug before we've even made it to the back room. She listens to me. She listens to me and my concerns. It's not what Tonya wants my look to look like. It's what Scout wants her look to look like, and she really does a great job of tailoring her services to meet my wants and needs. It's all about what I want to achieve at the end of the day.

Why do you recommend Näva Medical Spa?

I've just had consistently excellent results. I've never been to Tonya where I've had a bad experience or a bad result. She's always given me, I guess, an honest outlook on what I can expect too. It's nothing that's overpromised. She really helps me to understand what my expectations can be.

What would you tell someone considering Botox for the first time?

If you're considering getting Botox or other services that Tonya provides, set up an appointment, have a free consultation with her, see what she can offer you, what kind of results you can expect. There's no shame in seeing what's out there and seeing what might work for you. Tonya is very transparent on what the expectations can be and also what the risk can be too. So, at least you can go make an informed decision for yourself and decide where to go further. But if you wait and think woulda, shoulda, could've, then you might not know maybe the difference that it could make in your life eventually.
