Firstly Teen Tanorexics, Now Comes the Rise of Teen Toxing

She justifies this practice in the Daily Mail by saying;

"I get my Botox and fillers direct from the manufacturer in the UK, since I am a qualified practitioner. I use exactly the same Botox on Hannah as I use on myself and I feel I am an expert in this field. I'm fully trained so would rather inject Hannah than let someone else do it. That way I know she is getting a safe amount, by someone who knows what they are doing. I know some parents will be horrified but this is my way of protecting my daughter from back-street rip-off merchants.”

Despite this declaration, many news reports claim that she is in fact sourcing the toxin product online, risking unknown sources and ingredients within foreign, unregulated imports.

Fazel Fatah, President-Elect of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons is quoted by the paper as being horrified at this news;

“It is shocking to me, as an experienced surgeon, that anyone would buy from the internet and administer Botox into the face of a 16-year-old. Buying Botox or fillers online is extremely dangerous because the buyer has no idea of the source. The product could be contaminated or not completely pure.”

The schoolgirl claims that many of her friends as well as Internet sites and forums aimed at teenagers talk about having Botox treatments at a young age.

She is quoted by the Daily Mail as saying;

 “I wanted to have Botox for two reasons - it prevents wrinkles and everyone at my school was talking about having “B”. Appearance is important to me and I don't want to look haggard and ugly by the time I'm 25. Some of my friends told me that the earlier you start to have B, the fewer wrinkles you'll have as an adult.”
