One More Reason to Cringe at the Future

Posted on September 29, 2004March 10, 2022 by romanagiulia

I read this morning on The New York Observer that there are 17 year-olds getting Botox injections. Where are we going??????

Oh, and what about the “dermatologists” agreeing to give the procedure. I’m including a quote from the article, which I recommend to all:

“Dr. Sobel isn’t the only doctor getting requests for forehead freezing by teenage girls. Dr. Adam Bodian, a dermatologist in Great Neck, Long Island, Botoxed a 15-year old girl. “She knew that fine lines come from a lifetime of making facial expressions,” Dr. Bodian explained, “and she wanted to prevent future wrinkles.”

Ha. I guess facial expressions were overrated after all. We were afraid of Big Brother? Guess again, have a look through Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World.
