So it's become really popular. I saw this statistic that said between 2019 and 2022, the number of people in their 20s who got Botox rose 71%. It's a lot. It's a lot. And these are people who in the early 2000s you wouldn't really think of as people who would get Botox.

Great question. I mean, you're right. Even baby Botox, which uses fewer units than normal Botox, is still expensive. It can run up to between like $200 and $400 per session. And if you were to keep it up, you'd probably have to do it at least twice a year because Botox— Tends to wear off between three and six months.

Not nothing, but... The way that my friends framed it, if you take it in the context of other procedures or other cosmetics that people are using to try to stay young, such as, you know, all the fancy anti-aging creams or facials, massages, all of these things that a lot of people do pretty regularly, those can cost easily up to $100.

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.
