Bollywood is openly promoting Botox and fillers. Everyone must have heard of Netflix's infamous series, Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. In one of the episodes, Neelam Kothari gets Botox done on camera. And while giving the reason, she says, why are people telling this procedure such a big deal? The one who gets these procedures done feels good. And what's the harm in doing Botox? And I just feel, what's the big deal? Similarly, Bollywood Wives are promoting cosmetic procedures in other episod
es. Plus, they even injected their daughters, who weren't even launched in the industry. Maheep's daughter, Shanaya Kapoor, Kajol's daughter, Naisa Devan, and Shah Rukh Khan's daughter, Suhana Khan. But now you'll say, this is the film industry, this is what happens here. What's new about this? And I agree. But what do you think about this? Today, there are literally Botox parties in India. Second, they are getting Botox treatments done. In corporates, before presentations and meetings, Botox ha
s become a new trend. And you will not believe, but for politicians too, Botox is becoming a winning factor. So, what is it in Botox, that even from corporates to politicians, and even to kitty parties, despite being deadly, why is it being rampantly used in India today? But wait a minute, according to some expert doctors, Botox is quite safe. In fact, they believe that Botox is safe and beneficial. But what should we pay attention to before getting Botox treatments done? Because right now, you'
ll see, there are a lot of social media influencers who come from this industry, who are openly promoting it. And one more thing, if this procedure is so safe, then why does it keep coming up in the news, that an actress got Botox treatments done, or got fillers done, and then she died? So, today, in this video, we'll discuss these things in detail. So, do watch till the end. So, first of all, we'll understand that Botox and skin fillers, in terms, you must have seen that they are used interchan
geably many times. And, of course, they are quite common too. So, what's the difference between these two? So, basically, these two are cosmetic procedures, but there is a major difference between these two, which very few people know. First of all, let's talk about Botox, which is made up of a chemical called Botulinum Toxin, which, as soon as it is injected into the body, that area gets minorly paralyzed. As a result, due to no movement there, there are no wrinkles or fine lines. But, fillers
are mostly used at those places where any facial features have to be plumped. Or, under the thin lines or wrinkles that have come there, a derma fluid is injected there, and a derma fluid is filled there. For example, look at this, this normal lip is filled with derma filler and made this kind of plumpy. And, along with this, if someone wants to give an oval shape to their round face, then with the help of fillers and Botox, they can also achieve such a facial shape. And, that is why, in facial
enhancements, not only these terms, but these facial treatments are also used interchangeably. Because, many times, it happens that not only Botox and fillers are injected, but a combined treatment is used, which gives a complete look. Because of which, you might have noticed that in many articles, these terms have been used interchangeably. So, now coming to our central discussion, that how films are popularizing Botox and filler culture in India. And, how much can it popularize the culture? Yo
u can understand this from the movie, Barbie. Last year, Barbie movie was released. And, along with this, a hashtag was also trending on TikTok, which was named, Hashtag, Barbie Botox. This is a Botox treatment, in which, using toxins, neck muscles are freezed for a limited time. And, ultimately, the neck of the person who takes the treatment, looks very slim, like a swan's neck. And, people started making videos on TikTok, and flaunting this swan neck Botox, by saying, Barbie Botox. The trend h
ad 11 million views. And, after this, this trend went viral in India as well. Barbie Botox. It's a viral trend. A surgery that can get you a more elongated neck, just like a Barbie doll. Barbie Botox has been really famous these days, right? If you felt that the Barbie fever is going to die down soon, you'll be amazed that fans now want to have a neck, which looks like the Barbie. Apart from this, after watching this movie, people became obsessed with the doll face as well. You'll find a lot of
case studies on media outlets, like this 22-year-old Neha Jain, who was a Barbie fan since her childhood. But, after watching Margot Robbie's look in the Barbie movie, Neha wanted a Barbie doll-like face herself. And, even though TikTok was banned in India, everyone started talking about the hashtag, Barbie Botox. Even some states' doctors have this statement, that they started getting 10-20 queries daily, related to this Botox. There were 18-year-old girls in this, but, shockingly, to adopt thi
s trendy look, even 30-year-old ladies were as excited. Which, I think, many people don't take seriously. Just like we don't take our headaches seriously. Now, look, my job is research and content creation. And, that's why, I have to sit in front of the screen all day long, because of which, I started having a lot of headaches. Actually, these screens produce harmful blue rays, which strain our eyes, and cause headaches. But, Lenskart has found a stylish solution to this problem. When I tried th

Link is in the description. Now, coming back to the topic. Apart from this, seeing the character of Ken in this movie, Indian men also started getting Botox done. And, they termed it as Bro-tox. But, these were just some examples influenced by one movie. But, as I said in the beginning, Botox culture is a very important
part of Indian society. And, it is becoming very common in Chhattah. Right from weddings, to corporates, to even politicians. So, let's talk about weddings first. You must have heard that, in weddings, for bridal make-up, Salah professionals are called, or the one who takes care of the bride. But, now, in India, many families have started calling dermatologists for bridal make-up. So, let's take a case published in this article. A 28-year-old, Annie Goncalves from Cochin, and Andrew were married
in 2023. So, they almost got married, 6 months before, and they got the perfect celebrity couple look. For this, Annie injected Botox and filler to ovalize her round face. And, Andrew also grafted his beard, which is okay. Basically, he artificially grew to make his patchy beard thicker. But, the most shocking thing is, in their wedding, they organized a water-themed party, in which the guests were given vampire shots. The vampire shots included skin filler shots, which were also given to the g
uests attending the wedding party. Now, according to many cosmetic doctors, this is increasing in urban pockets across the country. That too, so much so that the doctors themselves say that they get very busy in the season of weddings. In fact, in this season, this procedure increases by 25%. Now, let's talk about ladies' kitty parties. Now, I am sure you must have heard about ladies' kitty parties. But, what are the types of them? Whether it is for breakfast, or for food, or at the most, it wil
l be alcohol. But, in India, another kitty party trend is starting somewhere. Where, there is a trend of getting Botox in the start-ups. I know, you must be feeling weird when you hear this. But, Times of India did a ground investigation on this topic. And, we were also shocked by it. It is mentioned in that article that in the national capital of India, Delhi, this type of parties have been happening for many years now. Basically, a prominent fashion designer named Rita Sethi tells that in thes
e parties, females invite their other female friends to their home, farmhouse, or hotel with a special invitation. After that, to make this treatment cost-effective, all the ladies share Botox in their faces with the help of a single bottle of syringe. And, after completing this procedure, the party goes on as normal. That is, the food is eaten, the dance is done, just like in normal kitty parties. Now, through these parties, Botox is being made as normal as it is. But, it is not that much. Prom
inent dermatologist Rajiv Sekhri tells that in these parties, two females took Botox to remove their neck wrinkles. But, after this, they felt suffocation and died. But, Botox obsession is still going on. In fact, it was found in the TUI report that many ladies openly tell that they enjoy these types of Botox parties. Now, moving on to corporates, Sanket, a Gurugram-based marketing professional, came to Mumbai for her office meetings. But, a few days before her meeting, she went to a dermatologi
st and injected filler in her face so that her face could glow in the meeting and her confidence could increase. This case study was published in the Financial Express article where it is mentioned that Botox is becoming more and more popular in the corporates. In the same article, a case was also mentioned with Sanket, who is the CEO of a fashion brand. And there were wrinkles and fine lines on her face. That is why she injected fillers so that her confidence in her professional life. The Finan
cial Express also spoke to doctors where they told that in recent years, there are jobs where visibility is crucial. That is, where you are facing clients on a day-to-day basis like sales, management, etc. In those jobs, Botox and fillers are becoming more and more common. In another survey, it was also found that the people who took this treatment in the corporates mostly had two motives behind doing so. One, to look the best in their workplace and the other, they think that this treatment will
give them a competitive advantage in the office which in the end will make them successful. Now, coming to the final weird trend, Botox in politics. Now, from this video, you must have understood that Botox is usually used by people to look young and attractive. But do you know that in India, politicians are also using Botox so that their image can become corruption-free? So, many doctors told Midday that they have many politicians who get Botox and skin-clothing treatments done. But this treat
ment is not a common treatment because whenever there is an election in the country, suddenly, the number of politicians in these dermatologists increases. Now, the reason behind this is that these politicians have to do rallies and road shows during the elections. They have to attend many press conferences. So, they get Botox done for that reason. But some doctors told a different reason behind this. Dr. Mohan says that a member of the parliament of came to him who did his nose job just because
he wanted to look like a politician when he was and not like a goon. In fact, a doctor even said that many people come to him to look thin because they believe that people think fat politicians. So, anyway, from this point, I just wanted to say that our thought that Botox, fillers, and other treatments are only done by celebrities and not by normal people, I think, it is changing in India now. These treatments are getting normalized in India. But look, I am not saying that you should not get Bo
tox done or that Botox is a very wrong treatment. In fact, a plastic surgeon conducted a study on 100 Botox patients and the treated patients said that after the treatment, they actually saw a remarkable improvement in their quality of life and self-esteem. Because if someone has a part that looks certain way and because of that they feel underconfident, then if they do a minor procedure and fix it, then it is possible that their confidence may increase a lot. And not only this, in Botox depress
ion there are many important things that should be taken care of and should be followed well. Because the problem with Botox treatment in India is that there are many illegal salons or small parlours in India where fake doctors get this treatment done under absolutely unhygienic conditions. So, the first thing is to do it at the right place with the right products. So, let's take the case of Rekha Chaudhary published in this article. She had to get Botox done for the wrinkles near her eyes. But
Rekha Chaudhary comparatively expensive, instead of getting treatment from her, she got treatment from a local skin clinic which is only 8,000 rupees. That means, she got this treatment for less than half the cost of other clinics. Because of this, her eyelids started drooping after the treatment and her wrinkles didn't go away even after After that, when she consulted another dermatologist, she found out that she had used Chinese products of the same quality. Many company experts have said that
the price of 100 units of Botox is 16,500 rupees and the trial pack of the original Botox starts from 6,500 rupees. But on the other hand, these 100 units of Chinese Botox are available for just 3000 to 5000 rupees. And that's why please avoid these names on which mostly it will say Made in China and some Chinese inscriptions are also written because at the end, you won't get good and desired results from such substandard products. And secondly, due to the overdose of such products, you can hav
e breathing difficulties, paralysis and even death in rare cases. In fact, India today had a sting operation on this in which it was found that this low-quality Botox from China has been circulating in cheaper rates in India which you have to pay attention to. Also, don't get this treatment in any unlicensed beauty or cosmetic salons by looking at Nowadays, many local salons and beauty parlors are openly offering these Botox treatments at a very low price but they are illegal because these salon
s get these treatments without any expertise. That's why while opting for the Botox treatment, make sure to see the qualifications and experience of that doctor. So, that is it for today but I definitely want to know whether you think we should get these Botox and lip fillers done because this can boost our confidence. I mean, if your confidence can be boosted by a small surgical procedure and you can feel better about yourself, then what do you think about this? Should we get this treatment don
e because of this? Or do you believe that we should not get this procedure done? After all, we should not the body we have. So, please share your opinions with me in the comment section and share this video with your friends Classes of the Fasla series will be available at 999 rupees only. Link is in the description.
