Release Summary: The Harley Medical Group announce surgeons having
to turn patients away as Botox-devotees binge
Press
Release Body: The Harley Medical Group, the UK's
largest cosmetic surgery provider, has announced that its surgeons
are having to strongly recommend that patients opt for smaller
doses of Botox and are even having to turn patients away who demand
treatment they don't need.
The
move mirrors recent reports from the States which suggest that
women are binging on Botox to the point where their faces look
frozen. Suffering from so-called "Wrinklerexia",
some Botox-devotees become so obsessed with their crease-free
image they begin to see lines where there are none and binge on
Botox to get a freeze-frame face.
Liz
Dale, Director of The Harley Medical Group, said: "Used
properly, Botox is a fantstic cosmetic surgery treatment giving
smoother, tighter and more youthful looking skin. But like with
any procedure, it's highly unadvisable to have more done than
is necessary. At The Harley Medical Group all Botox
treatments are administered by specially trained doctors who
will look out for signs of a Botox 'habit' and will advise patients
according to their individual needs."
The
Harley Medical Group has noticed a surge in bookings
for Botox treatments but men and women in the UK are predominantly
opting for 'Baby Botox', a lighter variation
of the the treatment. Baby
Botox only uses extremely low doses of the toxin, resulting
in a very subtle and more natural effect.
Dr
Nick Milojevic, Botox Doctor at The Harley Medical Group
commented: "When used correctly, it's extremely difficult
to see if someone has had a Botox treatment. Botox has a fantastic
preventative benefit, helping to prevent more wrinkles from forming
whilst stopping lines and creases already present from deepening."
