"Controversial 'Barbie Botox' Trend Sparks Concern among Medical Professionals"

The viral trend of "Barbie Botox" has led to an increase in demand for toxin-based procedures among women in their 20s, aiming to mimic the appearance of Margot Robbie in the movie. However, doctors caution that this trend may lead to resistance among users and hinder medical use in the future. While the procedure has been used to treat migraines and shoulder pain, its cosmetic use is considered "off-label" as it is only approved for facial procedures. Concerns arise regarding the rise in use among younger women and the potential risks associated with underqualified staff performing the injections. Additionally, the repeated use of high amounts of Botox may lead to decreased effectiveness over time.

The Worrisome Rise of 'Barbie Botox' and Unrealistic Beauty Standards

The trend of "Barbie Botox" has gained popularity on TikTok, with people injecting botulinum toxin into their trapezius muscles to flatten their shoulders and create the appearance of a longer neck, resembling the iconic doll. Dermatologists say the treatment is generally safe and can make a subtle difference in appearance, but it comes with a high price tag and requires multiple rounds of injections. While some seek the treatment for non-cosmetic benefits like alleviating muscle tension and migraines, others question the value of replicating an unnatural beauty standard promoted by social media.
