Hundreds of women in the UK are suffering life-altering effects, including partial paralysis and severe pain, after anti-wrinkle injections with botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), commonly known as Botox. Forty-one cases of botulism poisoning were recorded in England this summer alone. Now campaigners are warning about the dangers of unregulated cosmetic procedures, calling for greater awareness of the potentially lethal consequences of BoNT. The UK government has introduced rules requiring face-to-face consultations and plans to launch a licensing scheme for cosmetic injectables, amid rising hospital admissions.

Barbie Botox: Latest cosmetic trend in town

<p>In a surprising revelation on Friday, global pop sensation Britney Spears took to her social media platform to announce her decision to quit the use of Botox, a popular cosmetic treatment&nbsp;widely used for anti-ageing purposes.</p>

<p>The 41-year-old singer shared an Instagram video with her 42 million followers, shedding light on her newfound preference for an alternative treatment.</p>

<p>In the video snippet, Britney appeared barefaced as she passionately addressed her audience and ranted about the side effects of Botox. The Louisiana native had a Sio Beauty patch on her forehead, which she revealed has become her preferable alternative for Botox.</p>

<p>In a detailed caption accompanying the video, Spears wrote, "OK… I have a big forehead and I seriously need bangs but I feel like I can’t see sometimes with bangs !!! I’m sharing this because it actually really does work. Too many times, these so-called “best doctors” do amazing Botox. Never again in Los Angeles. The first time, I just did lips in New York City. WAY different than LA … so subtle, it was an adorable pout !!!! The place had all hardwood floors and was raw."</p>

<p>The singer continued, "For probably 10 to 15 years, I haven’t had mine done right, and what’s with the times when one eyebrow is up and one is down? I can’t even be seen for 2 weeks. My friend’s sisters think it’s funny and laugh but I’d like to see what they would do if someone did that to their face. OK … so maybe in a movie like 'Just Go with It' where that girl’s eyebrows are messed up, that’s funny. But not in real life when one eye is black and blue and way higher than the other. (sic)"</p>

<p>She further added, "I cried and then I’m like, when is this gonna go away? /Oh, just give it a week or two.' Sometimes the nerves act that way and have a reverse effect, and I’m like, 'I look like somebody beat the shit out of me'!!! So of course, I go back and show the doctor. She says that’s completely normal, and I said, 'Then why can’t I go anywhere for two weeks?' and my friend’s sisters laughed. F**K BOTOX, it is horrific!!! Sio is unbelievable. (sic)"</p>

<p>The announcement lacked any sponsored disclaimers or promotional hashtags.</p>

Britney Spears says she's 'done with Botox'; calls the cosmetic procedure 'horrific'

<p>Republican congressman and doctor Greg Murphy called out United States President Joe Biden for getting "so much Botox" while slamming the re-election bid of the incumbent president.&nbsp;</p>

<p>North Carolina's representative Greg Murphy, who was formerly a professor of surgery and chief of the division of urology at the East Carolina University School of Medicine, while talking about the health of the president, stated that Biden had undergone “so much filler” and "so much plastic surgery".</p>

<p>Biden has been facing questions related to his health since he made the announcement that he intends to contest elections for a second term. Joe Biden is the oldest president to date in the history of the United States and will turn 86 till he completes a potential second stint as the president in the White House.</p>

<p>The concerns regarding Biden's physical and mental health have been brushed off by him, who stated that his mind was "focused".</p>

<p>“I no more think of myself as being as old as I am than a fly. There's not things that I don't do now that I did before, whether it's physical or mental—or anything else,” he had earlier stated.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking to Fox News, Greg Murphy said, "Let's look at Joe. He's had so much plastic surgery, so much Botox, so much filler. That's on the outside. I deal in a surgical field that has a lot of older patients and so I have seen patients through the year decline mentally—it's just a fact, it's what happens."&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Earlier claims of Biden undergoing plastic surgery</strong></h2>

<p>The alleged "outbursts" of Joe Biden at staff spoke of "a form of dementia," as Biden would be "frustrated" by his inability to communicate his thoughts, alleged the Republican.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The claims regarding Joe Biden undergoing plastic surgery were made even earlier. In 2019, in the Washington Examiner, various cosmetic surgeons said that scars visible on the side of Biden's cheeks were "obvious" signs of a facelift.</p>

<p>"Oh he's had a facelift, there's no question," said Arthur Perry, a plastic surgeon and associate professor of surgery at Columbia University, while speaking to the outlet. Meanwhile, a cosmetic surgeon based in New York, Cap Lesesne, said in the article, "The problem with Biden's surgery is that it's obvious. I've operated on several high-profile individuals, and I'd never let them look like that. Those are classic facelift scars. It's probably been over a year. I kind of feel bad for him. He should have had those scars removed."</p>

There's not things that I don't do now that I did before, whether it's physical or mental—or anything else,” he had earlier stated. Speaking to Fox News, Greg Murphy said, "Let's look at Joe. He's had so much plastic surgery, so much Botox, so much filler. That's on the outside. I deal in a surgical field that has a lot of older patients and so I have seen patients through the year decline mentally—it's just a fact, it's what happens." Rep.

The claims regarding Joe Biden undergoing plastic surgery were made even earlier. In 2019, in the Washington Examiner, various cosmetic surgeons said that scars visible on the side of Biden's cheeks were "obvious" signs of a facelift.

Meanwhile, a cosmetic surgeon based in New York, Cap Lesesne, said in the article, "The problem with Biden's surgery is that it's obvious. I've operated on several high-profile individuals, and I'd never let them look like that. Those are classic facelift scars. It's probably been over a year. I kind of feel bad for him. He should have had those scars removed." You can now write for wionews.com and be a part of the community. Share your stories and opinions with us here. WATCH WION LIVE HERE

<p>Over 40 camels were disqualified from a ‘beauty’ pageant after Saudi authorities found that the contestants received Botox injections and other artificial touch-ups, according to the state-run news agency.</p>

<p>The month-long camel festival kicked off earlier this month, inviting the breeders of the most beautiful camels to compete in 19 different categories for $66 million in prize money.</p>

<p>Botox injections, facelifts and other cosmetic alterations to make the camels more attractive are strictly prohibited. Jurors decide the winner based on the shape of the camels’ heads, necks, humps, dress and postures.</p>

<p>Linda Evangelista, the supermodel made famous in the 1990s, said she had become “brutally disfigured” and “unrecognizable” after a cosmetic body-sculpting procedure that had turned her into a recluse.</p>

<p>“Today I took a big step towards righting a wrong that I have suffered and have kept to myself for over five years,” she wrote in an Instagram post Wednesday.</p>

<p>“To my followers who have wondered why I have not been working while my peers’ careers have been thriving, the reason is that I was brutally disfigured by Zeltiq’s CoolSculpting procedure which did the opposite of what it promised.”</p>

<p>Evangelista, 56, said after the fat-freezing procedure she developed paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, a side effect in which patients develop firm tissue masses in the treatment areas.</p>

<p>She said the cosmetic procedure left her “permanently deformed even after undergoing two painful, unsuccessful, corrective surgeries.” She said she had not been told of the risk.</p>

<p>“PAH has not only destroyed my livelihood, it has sent me into a cycle of deep depression, profound sadness, and the lowest depths of self-loathing,” she wrote. “In the process, I have become a recluse.”</p>

<p>Although Evangelista’s Instagram post mentioned a lawsuit, it was unclear whether one had been filed or where.</p>

<p>According to CoolSculpting, the procedure has been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of visible fat bulges.</p>

<p>According to the website of Allergan Aesthetics, a global pharmaceutical company whose brands include CoolSculpting, the procedure may cause an enlargement in the treated area about 2-5 months after treatment, requiring surgical intervention for correction.</p>

<p>Neither Allergan Aesthetics nor the FDA immediately responded to a request for comment Thursday.</p>
