So is Botox just no big deal now? Like getting a spray tan?

[Rosacharmosa]

I'm 32 and have been stressing over fine lines and aging recently. I know it's complete 1st world problems and aging is a privilege etc, but I suppose social media and other things have gotten into my head.

I see people on here, and Instagram and even a couple of people at work talk about botox and how amazing it is, so I booked a consultation at a beauty clinic type place that a colleague recommended.

The consultation was yesterday evening and I was surprised at how casual it all seemed. I said I was a bit anxious about it going wrong and looking weird, side effects and things and the woman just seemed baffled that I'd even be thinking about these things. In the end I decided not to book in and said I was feeling apprehensive and would mull it over and she basically seemed to regard me as though I was panicking over a manicure or a spray tan?

So now I'm wondering if I'm just being OTT, it's no big deal and I should just go for it and get rid of an insecurity, or if actually it is a big deal and the world is just going a bit mad?!

Would love to hear thoughts.

It's 'probably' relatively safe given that million have it done without ill effect.

But it is still injecting yourself with the toxin that causes botulism...

@Delatron thanks!

I did this when I was around 40 - mainly for sun damage and skin quality. Thinking about doing another course. They can help with fine lines and wrinkles too.

What scares me about Botox or more probably fillers - IS celebrity women. I think many look very odd indeed and there are some - without naming names - that I’d far rather not look like.
