@thealexisstone Engineering ⚒️ I look back at some of the choices I made when I was younger, and though they taught me many valuable lessons and I achieved what I was aiming for at that moment in time, I feel and look much happier and healthier. Speculations are equally as unhealthy but here’s a real, raw and realistic presentation of what 20ml+ of filler around the face looks like vs ZERO filler and damage repair. And remember, cheap choices make expensive mistakes.

Hook template

Steal this for your own video

Open on an extreme close-up of [your appearance feature] at its most [dramatic state], then rapidly cut to the same framing after [transformation change].

  • — Open on an extreme close-up of acne-prone skin at its most inflamed, then rapidly cut to the same framing after a skincare transformation.
  • — Open on an extreme close-up of a cluttered kitchen at its most chaotic, then rapidly cut to the same framing after a decluttering makeover.
  • — Open on an extreme close-up of damaged curls at their most frizzy, then rapidly cut to the same framing after a hair-repair transformation.
