Hailey Bieber Doesn’t Do Botox – Here’s What She Does Instead
PRP and PRF are basically as Bieber describes them. Both are derived from your own blood cells and they can be used to treat a variety of medical and aesthetic concerns, boosting elasticity and collagen and promoting anti-ageing effects. They’re celebrity favourites – Kim Kardashian is one other particular fan.
If you can cast your mind back, PRP was popularised as the “vampire facial,” with Kardashian famously sharing photos of her bloodied face during a treatment. While it looks dramatic, it shows benefits in promoting tissue regeneration and stimulating collagen.
On the subject of Botox, Bieber was clear: “I don’t have any Botox except for in my jaw for TMJ, but I have no Botox in my face. I made a commitment to myself that I wasn’t going to do any Botox until I was in my 30s. When I get there, I’ll see if I even want to do it.”
TMJ – temporomandibular joint disorder – is a common condition that affects the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. It’s particularly prevalent among women between the ages of 20 and 40, with symptoms that include pain in the jaw, face and neck, jaw stiffness, limited movement and clicking or popping sounds.
Physical therapy and the use of a gum shield are considered to be effective in treating TMJ disorder symptoms. Botox is still a relatively new way of treating TMJ; it is reported to help ease jaw tension, headaches and other symptoms by relaxing the muscles. It’s non-invasive and requires little to no downtime, but it’s still considered an experimental treatment. It’s worth noting, though, that Botox isn’t officially FDA-approved specifically for treating TMJ.
When it comes to Botox for cosmetic reasons, Bieber went on to say she might even do as her mother, Kennya Baldwin, has done and not touch the stuff. “My mom does nothing to her skin and she looks insane,” she said.
Previously, Bieber shared her experience of perioral dermatitis and how she deals with flare-ups. It’s pretty much a derm-approved routine and very minimal: she rinses her face, uses prescription azelaic acid, hypochlorous acid (which is a skin-friendly antimicrobial agent), clindamycin (an antibiotic that stops and slows bacteria) and her trusty Rhode Glazing Milk.
