Are anti-wrinkle injections like Botox worth it? - What in the World podcast, BBC World Service

Botox - or Botulinum toxin injections - has become mainstream. Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3VyyriM It’s no longer for the super-rich and A-list celebrities. As it’s become cheaper and more beauticians on the high street are offering it, its use is starting to become more widespread and normalised. Influencers are open about (some of) the non-surgical procedures they’ve had done. Why has it become so popular? BBC Health and Wellbeing reporter Annabel Rackham explains how these anti-wrinkle injections work (the most common of which is the product Botox) and how they differ from other “tweakments” like filler. We also discuss the potential risks of getting these injections as well as a recent case of hospitalisations after fake Botox was used. And what to be aware of if you’ve decided you want to get it done. BBC Africa Health correspondent Dorcas Wangira explains the rising demand for non-surgical beauty procedures in Kenya and why the authorities there are trying to crack down on unlicensed clinics and spas and practitioners with no registration. 00:00 Coming up 00:40 Fake botox worries 01:25 What is Botox? 01:41 How does Botox work? 02:00 Why people get Botox 02:25 Botox vs Fillers 03:30 Who can give you Botox? 04:31 Fake Botox incident 05:30 How is botulism treated? 05:55 Early signs of botulism 06:18 How safe is Botox? 07:07 Botox in Africa 09:28 What is microneedling? 10:00 Is Botox effective? 11:20 Long-term effects of Botox 12:00 Has it become normalised? 12:40 Advice from authorities Watch more episodes from What in the World here 👉🏽    • What in the World in the studio   Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: +44 330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Hannah Gelbart Producers: William Lee Adams, Maria Clara Montoya and Julia Ross-Roy Video Journalist: Baldeep Chahal Editor: Verity Wilde ---------------- This is the official BBC World Service YouTube channel.
