Botox’s birthday
Next month sees Botox's birthday: it will be 12 years since it was approved for the treatment of lines between the eyebrows. It's a huge market.

Botox is a medical intervention, agrees Dr Leah Totton

Botox Ads Banned
The Advertising Standards Agency has banned botox adverts from two leading aesthetic companies. Dermaskin and HB Health of Knightsbridge have both been penalized for online ads that violate ASA regulation.

Friends who Botox
