Millenials Turning to Boxtox![]() MSN - Botox used to be for Boomers, but not anymore. Increasingly younger women are embracing the injections that promise to smooth out wrinkles and result in a more youthful appearance.
Millennials and Gen Xers are heading to plastic surgeons or dermatologists not to undo the toll years have taken on their skin, but to prevent it. Lauren Madden used to think Botox was for her mother’s generation. But when a friend became a Botox injector, her opinion shifted. Her friend told her Botox would erase her fine wrinkles and ensure they did not deepen as she aged. “You think wrinkles, you think older people. At first, I definitely thought it was just for people that were trying to look younger than what they really are,” said Madden, 30, who started using Botox a few years ago. “Some people think that if you get it at this age, it’s because you’re worried about your looks right now. That’s not necessarily the case for me. Really I’m just looking toward the future in regards to my face.” Although the majority of Botox users fall in the 40 to 54 age range, about 1.2 million Botox injections, 18% of the total, were performed in 2015 on patients in their 30s. More than 100,000 were for patients in their 20s, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. And although only 19,604 injections were done in teenagers, that number represents a 2% increase from 2014 to 2015. Plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Hamilton has seen the trend in his practice. Since the Food and Drug Administration approved Botox in 2002 for cosmetic use, its popularity has skyrocketed tenfold and so has awareness, said Hamilton, who has offices in Greenwood, Ind., and Carmel, Ind. “Most 20-year-olds, they say, ‘Cosmetic surgery is something that I would never consider,’ ” he said. “However as Botox has become more popular … I think it’s creeped into the 20s. Twenty-year-olds are not typical, but they definitely do occur.” Some of Hamilton's younger patients decided to opt for Botox after having other minimally invasive treatments, such as microdermabrasions and facials. Others like Madden came to him expressly for Botox. The rise of Botox use among millennials has mirrored the spread of Botox from plastic surgeons’ offices into medical spas, dentists’ and gynecologists’ offices, said Dana Berkowitz, author of Botox Nation: Changing the Face of America. With all of these places offering the procedure, advertising has increased, and Botox use has become normalized. Made from a neurotoxin produced by a bacteria, Botox temporarily paralyzes the muscles that cause frown lines, relaxing the wrinkles. Effects typically wear off in three to six months. The price of Botox can range widely, depending on how much a person needs and where it is done. The average cost in 2015 was $382, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Regular Botox use before middle age, goes the thinking, can stave off the need for a facelift down the road, said Berkowitz, an associate sociology professor at Louisiana State University. But it also may spur the use of Botox and other cosmetic procedures. “It’s preventative only to the extent that you keep getting it again and again,” she said. “It creates almost this psychological addiction and it’s a gateway drug into other both noninvasive procedures and invasive. The first stop is Botox, the next fillers ...” Even doctors concede that Botox early in life does not guarantee a youthful appearance later without surgery or other procedures. ![]() Bangor's Reese Jones slide safely into second base as Tom Rissmiller takes the throw during the Knights' 6-5 win over Bangor in a game played at Mike Williams Field at Pen Argyl High School Wednesday.

FMI: 610-509-2269 Civil war erupts in Rwanda - 1994![]() On this day in 1994, Rwandan armed forces kill 10 Belgian peacekeeping officers in a successful effort to discourage international intervention in the genocide that had begun only hours earlier. In approximately three months, the Hutu extremists who controlled Rwanda brutally murdered an estimated 500,000 to 1 million innocent civilian Tutsis and moderate Hutus in the worst episode of ethnic genocide since World War II.
The immediate roots of the 1994 genocide dated back to the early 1990s, when President Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu, began using anti-Tutsi rhetoric to consolidate his power among the Hutus. Beginning in October 1990, there were several massacres of hundreds of Tutsis. Although the two ethnic groups were very similar, sharing the same language and culture for centuries, the law required registration based on ethnicity. The government and army began to assemble the Interahamwe (meaning “those who attack together”) and prepared for the elimination of the Tutsis by arming Hutus with guns and machetes. In January 1994, the United Nations forces in Rwanda warned that larger massacres were imminent. By the summer, the RPF had defeated the Hutu forces and driven them out of the country and into several neighboring nations. However, by that time, an estimated 75 percent of the Tutsis living in Rwanda had been murdered. HELP WANTED - Photographer (PT) for the Monroe Daily to shoot local events.
