"Mom injects her 16 year old daughter with Botox." Someone shoot me. Please!

ARE YOU FRICKEN KIDDING ME???

Most depressing story ever. Gotta love those Brit tabloids...

Her mother has turned herself into a 'human Barbie' with more than 150 cosmetic procedures costing £500,000.

Now teenager Hannah Burge has become Britain's youngest user of Botox. She had her first injection of the toxin at 15 because she 'didn't want to look haggard' by 25.
Her mother Sarah, who gives Hannah the injections herself, said she was 'thrilled' when her daughter asked for them.

Hannah, now 16, had her first dose while on a family holiday in Marbella, Spain, last May, with her mother's consent. Since then the schoolgirl has had two more Botox injections at home with Miss Burge, 49, who is a trained aesthetic practitioner.

She uses the same Botox on her daughter that she uses on herself. The only concession she makes for Hannah's age is to give her half the usual dosage given to adults.

Hannah believes the toxin – which she calls "B" – will stop her developing wrinkles in the future.

She said: 'I wanted to have Botox for two reasons: It prevents wrinkles and everyone at my school was talking about having B.
'I had a couple of lines on my forehead and around my mouth, which I was unhappy about.

Appearance is important to me and I don't want to look haggard and ugly by the time I'm 25.
'Some of my friends told me that the earlier you start to have B, the fewer wrinkles you'll have as an adult.'

Hannah, of St Neots, Cambridgeshire, has heard of girls having Botox at 16 but believes she is the youngest to start. She now wants her mother to give her lip fillers for a fuller pout.

She said: 'I've met plenty of girls my age who are having these procedures behind their parents' backs, which I think is pretty dangerous.

'With (my mother's) help, I won't get that frozen-face look when I'm older and will never have a line or wrinkle on my face.'

Her mother, who has been married three times, regularly uses Botox herself, and has had her nose made smaller, her cheekbones made bigger, her breasts lifted, and the fat sucked from her face among other procedures.

She said: 'I was thrilled Hannah was open and honest with me about having Botox.
'I'd much rather know about it than have her do it behind my back.

Plumped, Injected, Relaxed, Perfected! RAND RUSHER THE GO TO FOR BOTOX AND FILLERS

Just saying his name, the way it rolls off my tongue like the name of an exotic dessert I could never make at home, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Here, try it for yourself : RAND RUSHER 

Could anything sound more perfect? And wait until you see him, this gorgeous hunk of male-nurse-ness. Take my face, you’ll want to say. Take it and stick your needles into it. Do with it whatever you wish. It’s yours. I’m yours. Let’s do this.

The Mathematics of a Beautiful Face is what Rand exudes, knows, teaches and performs. I first read about Rand in a magazine while sweating out last night’s Ben and Jerry's on the elliptical – Vogue or Elle or something. It was a piece on how brilliant he was at doing things like fixing bad Botox and overly-injected faces – basically undoing the hideous anti-handiwork of others. This fascinated me. Could there be a bigger fear in life?

Ok may be a few, I get it, but let’s just pretend for a second that this really is as important as I am going to make it sound...

So I went to meet Rand. And he filled my life with all sorts of new joys and well, fillers. First I tested the waters with a little old school basic forehead Botox, to get a feel for his aesthetic. I loved it. He goes for an organic, natural look. He will not freeze your face like a daytime TV actress or one of those freaky looking women binging on Angelina Yogurt after a facelift consult on Bedford Drive. He will not erase every little crow's foot. He likes expression and realness. This is the wave of the future after years of that frozen Housewives of Orange County look that gave Botox a bad name. No, no, Rand puts the ‘balanced’ back into Botox.

Then we got creative. He told me that a little Botox to those muscle-cord-bandy-things on my neck would soften the appearance of tension and take yet another few years off.  Obviously, I didn’t wait a beat. Now I am totally hooked on it. It’s so incredibly subtle yet makes a huge difference.

Then I wanted some filler action. Restylane, Juvederm. Anything with three syllables and youth enhancing properties, shoot me up please.

 “Do your math on me!” is what I believe I said to Rand. Rand is a Beauty Scientist; he knows the matrix of facial perfection and will give you just the slightest tweaks with these fillers to balance things out in the most natural, non-obvious way possible. No one ever notices anything other than, ‘Wow, Em, you look friggen amazing!’  What he does is beyond subtle and totally non-Bev-Hills looking 'work'.  I recall a needle to the nasal labial folds, some action under my eyes, a squirt to my chin, somewhere on my cheek and maybe the lip lines above my top lip?? There was no Angelina Jolie lip plumping for me (on my face, he said, no way!), no fake-cheekbone puffing, just a little juice where that cruel mistress Age was starting to take her hollow grip on things. Watch out, missy, Rand will get you, he will!

Rand is a master. Did I mention there was not a moment of bruising anywhere?! Not even the delicate under eye skin. Nothing. I could have left and shot a movie that afternoon. And he is so deliciously charming, sweet and fun that you really will have to re-do your annual budget to fit him into your monthly beauty calendar. You will start making up things to do just to go back because whenever you leave you are simply guaranteed to look better and let’s face it more importantly, younger and prettier.

Rand is one half on the Leaf and Rusher Medical Skin Care Clinic on Bedford in Bev Hills, around the corner from Anastasia and Angelina Yogurt. They have a ridiculously amazing line of skin-care products, many of which I am way addicted to like the Skin Tonic, TX Eyes and Rapid Resurface. All major yum!
