It's too much, yes, with the tip. It's crazy. And so I think when you view it as just a part of your normal skincare routine, you know, $200 isn't that big a leap, especially if you consider it as potentially reducing your reliance on other types of cosmetics or anti-aging procedures.

I think something that should really give people pause is that we don't really know that much about the long-term effects of Botox, of regular Botox use. So the baby Botox trend began somewhere in the aughts. And we just don't really know what happens because there just hasn't been enough time to see what the long-term effects can be.

But some of the dermatologists I spoke to for this article told me that broadly, one issue with Botox is that if you paralyze the muscles in one part of your face... The other muscle, like it still wants to move. Your face still wants to move. And so other muscles can try to compensate. And so, you know, you'll start seeing wrinkles in those areas and potentially need to get Botox there.

So I think one potential consequence of regular Botox use from a very young age is that you become dependent on it.

You know, it's interesting. One of the women I spoke to actually brought this up. She felt like she was in competition with women to look youthful. And her concern was that all of these younger women started baby Botox earlier than she did. And so she's like... they've got a head start. You know, I only started in my late 20s. These women have seven years on me.

And if we're going to end up continuing to do this procedure, I'm not going to ever catch up to where they are. And it's funny because intellectually, I can understand, yes, we're supposed to be celebrating aging and feeling good about the wrinkles and the gray hairs and all of the wisdom and experience that come with it.

But at the same time, I'm still looking at myself in the mirror trying to pull out my white hairs. And it comes from this immense cultural pressure, especially on women, to... look good for their age, but I wonder if looking good for your age isn't even going to be good enough if this trend keeps up. You don't want to just look good for 30 or 40, you want to look 20.
