Botox and cosmetic injectables are by no means on their way out
Whether you want to embrace your natural beauty, or not, we shouldn’t be embarrassed about our wrinkles, nor be embarrassed to go under the needle. Botox is all about choice.
in Mayfair, on how to avoid looking permanently surprised, who you can trust with your face, the risks and how soon, is too soon.‘Asking to have Botox done, is the equivalent of calling Pantene shampoo,’ Nurse Alice Jenkins tells Metro.co.uk. ‘But these brands spread more. With Botox you can be very definite of where your going to get a result, it spreads a centimeter from injection site, whereas the other brands spread two centimeters. So your more likely to get something called parotitis, which is where your eyebrow droops, or you’ll look permanently surprised.’
Nurse Alice Jenkins said it’s a common misconception and that ‘people will often wait until they get wrinkles, then they will come into the clinic and say “this wrinkle is really annoying me and I want Botox” but unfortunately by that stage it’s too late.’ ‘Filler which is essentially hyaluronic acid, is for plumping and rejuvenating – it’s not anti-wrinkle. It can be injected into folds of skin; nasolabial folds , jowls, tear trough, thin lips and can be used to contour the nose, chin and jaw.’
‘So if a beauty therapist was to do it and then ran into a problem, they wouldn’t be able to dissolve it, like a doctor or a nurse could.’Over the last few years we’ve seen the rise of more tailored, natural-looking results, but ‘Botox has a bit of a stigma attached to it and still gets a bad rep.’
