Episode 142 hosts Dr Dana Berkowitz, an Associate Professor of sociology, women and gender studies at the University of Louisiana, USA.
In 2007, Dr Berkowitz published the book, 'Botox Nation: Changing The Face of America' which was an in-depth look at how injectables have become a cultural phenomenon. As a non-medical professional and having been an injectables patient herself, she interviewed hundreds of Americans to understand their motivations and reasons for seeking out treatments.
We explore:
- Her reasoning for writing the book
- Her own motivations for having toxin treatments
- How treatments and marketing have changed over the last 20 years
- The pressure that women in particular now face to look younger and more beautiful
- Where men fit into this equation
- Why aging is perceived so negatively in western cultures
- How injectable treatments are advertised in the USA
- Social media and celebrity influence on the public
- How injectables have become essential treatments for those who use them
- Insights into how price dictates who can access treatments
