Do you know what ‘Barbie Botox’ is, the latest beauty obsession on TikTok?
Isabelle Lux, a 32-year-old blogger from Palm Beach, Florida, said she was terrified as she sat in the chair waiting for her ‘Barbie Botox’, 40 units of the neurotoxin injected into each trapezius, the muscle that holds up her neck. She was looking to tone up her shoulders in preparation for the wedding as well as relieve some upper back pain.
“I kept thinking, ‘If it goes right, this is going to be great and I can’t wait to share it (online).’ If this goes wrong, I better warn people. So I basically figured that whatever happens, I’m going to tell people. And God, I just prayed that it would go well,” she said.
“Barbie Botox” has “conquered” social networks. The hashtag ‘Barbie Botox’ currently has over 7 million views on TikTok. Simply put, it’s a procedure that elongates the neck, slims the shoulders, and creates a very subtle physique when done right. This is why the last sentence is worth emphasizing “when done properly”. Because if administered incorrectly, or in the wrong dose, Botox can completely paralyze the muscles.
