Episode 113: From BS to Botox "Botox Isn’t the Problem — Cutting Corners Is"

Let me say this clearly: Botox itself is not the villain. The problem is how casually people treat it.

Somewhere along the way, Botox stopped being seen as a medical procedure and started being marketed like a manicure. Botox parties. Groupon Botox. Injectables offered in places where no one should be injecting anything into your face. And that’s where women get hurt — physically, financially, and emotionally .

I’ve been very open about my own experience. I started Botox in my thirties, when I needed very little. Over time, my needs changed — not because I was “aging badly,” but because bodies change. Metabolism changes. Stress changes. Life changes. None of that is a failure.

What is a failure is pretending that expertise doesn’t matter.
