Free Botox at the Open?

There are two distinct types of women in the world. Those who get nervous when they hear the word "injectables." And those who don't.

Apparently, the U.S. Open has more of the latter than the former as the Juvederm booth outside of Arthur Ashe Stadium has been packed.

For those who are not completely syringe savvy, a spokeswoman at the booth explained that Juvederm is not Botox, though it is made my the same company. Juvederm is a gel that is injected into the the area around the mouth to treat facial wrinkles and folds, such as "parentheses" or what my grandma used to call smile lines.

If this is something you think you'd be into, it is worth the price of a grounds pass just to check out the Juvederm tent, because they are giving away coupons good for two free syringes to those who qualify for treatment. In the New York area, that could be worth up to $1,200.

From 12:30-1:30 p.m. And from 5:30-6:30 p.m. each day there will be doctors onsite to give a free facial consultation. I was invited back to try one....
