20-year-olds 'seeking Botox'
Young women are having Botox treatment to reduce the chance of fine lines and wrinkles appearing in the future, it has been revealed.A report by BBC Radio 1's Newsbeat and 1Xtra found that in some major UK clinics, women under 30 are making up one quarter of the patients, a 100 per cent increase over three years.
Botox patients in their 20s explained that the injections were similar ageing protection measures to facials, cosmetic creams and other treatments.
Abigal Willmitt, a 23-year-old patient, said: "When I looked at my mum she's got a really strong frown line, so I went and had it done. It's just a preventative measure."
However, Dr Nick Lowe, a London-based surgeon, reported that although the treatments can be safe and effective, often when the injections are offered for a reduced price by local beauty salons, the results can be dangerous.
Dr Lowe advised all those who do seek the treatment to ensure it is administered by a professional.
Ex-EastEnders star Jessie Wallace and Ugly Betty villainess Vanessa Williams have both admitted to being fans of Botox.
