Why Botox and Filler Became The Ultimate Me Time.

Two weeks ago, I had Botox and filler for the first time. Before I went to my appointment, my friends and family questioned why. "You don't need it!" they implored. And while they meant well, it was annoying.

"Comments like this undermine personal autonomy and choice," says therapeutic coach Elle Mace, who specialises in body dysmorphia, explaining why I was irked with the well-meaning words of my loved ones.

I wasn't having filler so I'd look nice to others, I was having it for myself, and following my appointment, I discovered that regardless of how I looked post-treatment (fresh and bright, since you ask), aesthetic treatments are the ultimate me-time.
