And what was your results like? Did it last long? I’m getting it done soon for the first time and I can’t wait lol

Where I work I am in the minority of women NOT getting Botox. It’s so ubiquitous now.

National average is 7% of women.

Like the article points out there’s a real risk of muscle atrophy if you start too young or have it too often. This is why I let mine fully wear off and often take a long break (and use micro current to strengthen the muscles).

That sounds sensible. I'm not sure starting from a young age and having constant top ups is going to end well.

I think some young women believe they can look young forever.

@Newbie8918 - yes SC definitely doesn't look natural these days. I saw him out and about a couple of Sundays ago as he has a house in SW London and I was shocked. It wasn't a good look at all.

The article you cited does not say Botox is common though.

I didn't cite it to explain how common or uncommon it is, it's simply an explanation that it's 'a thing' and isn't a joke.

I don't believe the article but if that's what you believe then that's fine. Having multiple botox injections from a young age is not going to end well.
