Botox Treatment For Face | Botox Hair Treatment Price In Vasant Vihar

HOW COMMON IS BOTOX?

More common than you think, especially because most people keep it on the DL. As my doctor not-so-politically-correctly put it, “even the mousey girl on the street is getting Botox Treatment For Face.”

It’s also becoming more and more common. There were over 7 million Botox procedures in 2016 (up 4% from 2015, and 854% from 2000). It’s also becoming increasingly common for men.
SO IF BOTOX IS SO COMMON, WHY IS IT SO TABOO?

Botox is kinda like online dating. No one talks about it, but everyone does it. Is that because everyone wants you to think that their faces are naturally taut, glowing, and wrinkle-free? Maybe. But I’d argue it’s deeper than that.

BOTOX-SHAMING IS A REAL THING

Just like Marikh accused Chelsea of “glam-shaming” on The Bachelor, “Botox-shaming” is a real thing.
Think about it. Have you ever seen a woman get praised for getting Botox or other cosmetic procedures? I haven’t. Quite the opposite. In my experience, at even the most obscure RUMOR of a cosmetic procedure, women are scorned for being fake and vain. I once had a friend tell me she felt like she had to “come out” as having had a nose job for the rest of her life, just to avoid the rumor mill. Even so, she didn’t avoid the judgment.

I’ve said this a million times, but as women, we’re constantly walking a fine line. Society has trouble seeing women as multi-faceted. So if a woman’s had plastic surgery or Botox, she’s vain, and she can’t possibly ALSO be smart/driven/philanthropic/fill-in-the-blank. Men don’t face the same dichotomy, which is why male celebrities’ nose jobs regularly go unnoticed while female celebrities’ are scrutinized. I was even judged for having a (medically necessary) breast reduction, and my guess is at some point you’ve been judged or seen as less competent simply based on your makeup/hair/clothing… which is  Vasant Vihar Botox Treatment


Botox isn’t any different. Botox doesn’t make you less competent. I could even go so far to argue that Botox isn’t too dissimilar from getting braces to straighten your teeth or white strips to whiten them. Is waxing your eyebrows or getting a piercing any less vain than Botox? Nah.

So why haven’t cosmetic procedures like Botox found their place in today’s body positivity movements? I think most people associate cosmetic procedures with vanity and insecurity. For what it’s worth, I didn’t get Botox because of insecurity. Vanity? Maybe a little. But who cares? That “vain” procedure made me feel confident and empowered! Isn’t that what matters?

I’d argue that most people that get cosmetic Botox are doing so because they love and appreciate how they look, and/or because it gives them that extra boost of confidence (just like a new outfit does). In fact, it’s been widely proven that the confidence boost patients see from cosmetic procedures extends to many parts of their lives – including their relationships, career, mental state, and more.
