Botox no longer for old, wrinkled

A few years ago, Kenya’s cosmetic surgery market was thin. The medical aesthetics industry which includes surgery, injections, and skin treatments, felt shameful and underground and was dominated by older, wealthy, secretive, well-travelled women and expatriates as customers.

But now pretty much all impressionable young women and men are seeking Botox and dermal fillers, face treatments which help them “have a fresh face, full of energy, soften the frown lines and improve a variety of perceived imperfections.”
