Hailey Bieber hasn’t gotten Botox. In a world seemingly filled with 20-something-year-olds with frozen faces full of neuromodulator injectables (like Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, Jeuveau, and Xeomin), she might be in the minority. On the In Your Dreams podcast, the 28-year-old shared that she’s “made a commitment to myself that I wasn’t going to do any Botox until I was in my 30s. When I get there, I’ll see if I even want to do it."
What was once deemed an "anti-aging" secret, helping those with deep-set wrinkles turn back the clock of aging, is now just as commonplace among those in their early 20s as it is for those in mid-life. Furthermore, some providers seem not only willing, but downright enthusiastic to provide what is classified as “preventative Botox.” Take Sydney Prior, an account executive, who first got Botox injections at 21. “I am from the South, and everyone is so focused on perfection and not aging, so it is so normalized in Texas to start early,” says Prior. “I also heard how preventative it was, even if I did not have wrinkles at the time. I went to a nurse at a plastic surgeon's office, and there was no discussion—she thought it was wonderful and was fully happy to provide the service to me.”
