Biohacker's Anti-Aging Experiment Leads to Shocking Facial Reaction

Tech mogul Bryan Johnson, known for his extreme anti-aging efforts, experienced a severe allergic reaction after injecting his face with a "fat-derived extracellular matrix" to counteract gauntness from caloric restriction. Despite spending millions on various treatments, including using his son as a "blood boy" and undergoing a "total plasma exchange," Johnson's methods have yielded questionable results. His latest venture, "Project Baby Face," resulted in a swollen visage, highlighting the risks of unconventional cosmetic procedures.

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.

Controversy Surrounds Popular Beauty Treatment

A recent report by The New York Times claims that the popular cosmetic treatment CoolSculpting may pose a higher risk for a serious side effect than previously thought. The risk of a possible side effect of disfigurement only correctable by surgery may have been previously underreported. The technology, which uses a technique called "cryolipolysis," may cause a serious side effect known as paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, which is when some of the fat cells enlarge, harden and sometimes take the shape of the applicator. Allergan Aesthetics, the parent company of Zeltiq Aesthetics, which markets and licenses the CoolSculpting devices, says the treatments are able to "freeze" fat away, citing in 2010 that the treatment is a safe and painless alternative to other fat reduction services, like liposuction.

EMface, a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses radiofrequency to stimulate collagen and elastin production, as well as high-intensity focused electrical stimulation to contract specific facial muscles, has been praised for its subtle yet noticeable lifting results. The treatment, which costs around £2,500 for four or five sessions, has been described as the first machine facelift and has been shown to increase muscle density by 30%, reduce wrinkles by 36.8%, and give 23% more lift, according to clinical studies.
