Well, as a woman in her late 30s who is on Instagram all the time, I couldn't help but notice that some of my friends who are the same age as me look amazing. And I was like, wait, I know you're in your late 30s. Your face should not look that tight. What's going on here? So in person, I started to ask casually, like, what's your secret?

And everyone I spoke to was very happy to tell me that they've been doing baby Botox since their mid-20s.

You can interpret baby Botox in two ways. The main way is that you use baby doses of Botox. So typically, a normal Botox procedure might use 20 to 40 units of Botox. A baby Botox procedure uses only 10 to 20. But I think it can also be interpreted to mean that it keeps you looking kind of like a baby from the moment you start. So baby Botox is thought of as a preventative procedure.

The idea is that if you begin using it before you start forming wrinkles, so freezing your face at, say, 1%, age 20, you will not develop those wrinkles as long as you keep up the Botox. Huh. Yeah. I was really surprised. And they were very forthcoming about it.

Yeah, you would think, right? And I'll tell you that I used to work in a Botox clinic when I was in college. Well, I was a medical assistant to a doctor who began moonlighting as an injectables doctor. And so I was exposed to a lot of the people who were coming in to get Botox. And this was in the... mid to late 2000s. And at the time, it was very secretive.

You know, people didn't want others to know that they were getting Botox. We would have women come in paying in cash because they didn't want their husbands or family members to know that they were paying for Botox. And I think a lot has changed since then. So when I was doing reporting for the story, something that came up a lot was the impact of reality TV.

Multiple women I spoke to mentioned Vanderpump Rules and The Real Housewives series. So I don't really watch these shows, but what my friends told me was that on these shows, the women are very open about their Botox use. I get Botox and I get filler. I've always done that.
