Almost 2/3 of Americans in a recent survey felt that appearance matters when it comes to succeeding at work. It was also found that people thought looks were more important when applying for a job than in getting promoted. 

Other findings in the Newsweek Poll can be found here, along with a description of "Lookism" issues in the workplace. Both men and women have been seen to become increasingly aware of appearance in the workplace amidst the current economic climate.  Cosmetic boosters, such as Botox are more commonplace among men looking to have an edge in the job market. 

Recently, 4 docs in Albany, NY were fined for injecting a non-FDA-approved product called Tri-toxin, meant to deliver Botox-like effects.  How do you know if you're getting the real Botox when you visit your doctor for anti-wrinkle treatments?

The real Botox packaging produced by Allergan has a holographic image on the label. Similarly, Dysport, another wrinkle-reducing injection has a hologram on the vial. If there is any question in your mind, ask your doctor if you can take a look at the label on the bottle and the expiration date.  Your physician should not mind.
