Botox for Mood Not Wrinkles

Join Physician Assistant Alithia Monroe, founder of The Beauty Therapist LLC, from 8 to 9 p.m., May 20, for a free, informative Zoom event about therapeutic Botox. Monroe has 17 years of experience cosmetically injecting faces, but has pivoted to treating facial expressions instead of wrinkles. In fact, facial expression treatment intentionally leaves key cosmetic wrinkles alone to optimize the movement of more positive facial muscles.

“Facial expressions are unique to the individual, but the treatments are anchored in 40 years of Botox research and stems from the defined melancholy muscles that Sigmund Freud named the 'Omega Sign' or in common consumer parlance 'the 11’s' lines between the eyebrows,” explains Monroe.

The informative portion will conclude with a question-and-answer session, followed by Monroe discussing how the neuromodulator Botox can be used in treatment for depression.

Cost: Free. For more information, call 617-991-7567, email Ask @AllyMonroe.com or visit Ask BeautyTherapist.com. See ad on page 7 and Resource Guide on page 33.

New Music From HAN, Hannah Robuccio

HAN, Hannah Robuccio, a young, ambitious, independent, Massachusetts local, singer-songwriter, released a new album “Things I’ve Been Meaning to Say” last month and will be celebrating its release at an intimate evening of live music on May 14, at the iconic Bull Run, in Shirley, Massachusetts. Doors open at 6 p.m.

HAN’s album shares youth and innocence. As an honest artist, she is not afraid to express her inner-most feelings. She shares her search for “real” relationships, feelings of disconnectedness, the joys and repercussions of allowing closeness, wanting to change everything, remembering vows, knowing betrayal and having a strong hold on hope.

HAN relates to other young people that are navigating through this challenging age and time. Through songwriting, her audience can draw from the authentic, raw, in the moment, lyrics. She asks people to walk through it with her, go deep, relate to it, and hopefully break through, forging ahead fearlessly.

Cost: $18. Location: The Bull Run, 215 Great Rd., Shirley, MA. For more information, visit HannahRobuccio.com.
