Milly* was getting her eyebrows waxed when her beautician made a comment about her lips. “They asked if I’d like to get any filler in them,” she recalls. “They were doing a special deal that day, so it would only cost £50, which seemed like a bargain. I was tempted. But I couldn’t really afford it as I had to buy some new textbooks.” Milly is studying at university; she is 20 years old.
To some, Milly’s experience might sound surprising. Why would someone so young want to do anything to alter their already cherubic face? Surely it’s way too soon to even think about anti-aging treatments? And how many practitioners would even agree to treating someone that age, let alone actively promote it? Well, far more than you’d think.
