Red-Carpet Treatment

Botinol Facial

On Oscar night we enjoy so many traditions.

Betting on winners. Watching the entire preshow runway parade. And, of course, playing Spot the Botched Face-lift. (Nicollette and Meg, what were you thinking?)

You, on the other hand, have a crippling fear of the knife — so you hit The Carriage House Salon for a preawards show Botinol facial.

The soothing 90-minute treatment includes an antiaging serum made with peptides, pellicles, and marine extracts that allegedly help relax facial muscles and tighten wrinkles, giving your skin a natural lift that lasts up to three months. All in the comfort of a sun-drenched Harvard Square space.

The resulting megawatt glow is safer (and way cheaper) than surgery. Plus, it’s guaranteed to be botch free.

Making yours one Oscar-worthy performance.
