computer screen your natural reaction, particularly if you\u2019re concentrating, is to frown.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Millennials reliance on smartphones and the web is having an undesirable effect, he said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018It\u2019s this perpetual frowning which is causing such an epidemic of deep wrinkle lines in the forehead and around the eyes.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Dr Jallali, who\u2019s had his own clinic in London for five years, says that he used to shy away from using Botox as a preventative measure to stop frown lines getting worse and halt future wrinkles in their tracks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">He traditionally only recommended Botox to patients in their early thirties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Now, however, he\u2019s seeing and treating more and more women in their early to mid twenties \u2013 because they\u2019ve spent most of their lives staring at screens.<\/p>\n<p>        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-5ff5e91feae2f38e\" src=\"image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\"

\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Dr Navid Jallali says he is treating more women 25 and younger for deep wrinkles which he puts down to excessive screen use<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">And he also now recommends small amounts of Botox for young patients in order to stop small worry lines developing into full-blown furrows.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Dr Jallali, who is also head of the Department of Plastic Surgery at Imperial College NHS Trust, London, explained: \u2018Botox is by far and away the most popular non-surgical treatment in the UK.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018Much of it is driven by the lifestyles of the rich and famous, as people look to emulate their favourite celebrities like Kim Kardashian.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">According to the UK campaign group \u2018Digital Detox\u2019, who are calling for Brits to be less dependent on screens, adults spend an average of nine hours and 30 minutes a day on screens \u2013 more time than they spend asleep.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">We spend a combined average of two hours and 24 minutes a day on smart devices in particular \u2013 that same figure was just 31 minutes in 2011, amounting to a 400 per cent increase in just six years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">UK adults now spend 25 hours a week online \u2013 up from nine hours a week in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-affaec1fb37d4334\"

obsession with our mobile phones as well as looking at computer screens every day for work means we are not taking breaks<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">When injected into the face, Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Dr Jallali explains: \u2018The injected muscle can no longer contract, which causes the wrinkles on the skin above to relax and soften.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018It is most often used on forehead lines, crow\u2019s feet and frown lines, while wrinkles caused by sun damage and gravity will not respond to Botox.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The effect of Botox injections, which cost around \u00a3300 to \u00a3700, lasts approximately three to six months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">And Dr Jallali is at pains to point out that even when wrinkles are visible and causing distress, less is still more.<\/p>\n<p>        <img loading=\"lazy\"

treatments earlier and earlier as adults now spend up to 25 hours a week in front of a computer<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">He explains: \u2018While Botox is becoming more prevalent, it\u2019s not hard to see cases where a person has simply had too much.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018It\u2019s instantly noticeable, as their face doesn\u2019t move in a natural way and the overall aesthetic is best summed-up with the word \u2018odd\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018For me, I like to add small amounts at first, so that it doesn\u2019t look overdone. It\u2019s the same story with lip fillers, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018And you have to bear in mind that Botox actually takes up to three days before the results are visible, making it all too easy for less capable doctors to inject too much, too soon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018Do it right, and Botox can really enhance your looks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u2018Do it wrong, like some reality TV stars, and the results are not always easy on the eye.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Young women are at risk of developing wrinkles ten years earlier than previous generations \u2013 because of hours spent staring at computer screens and mobile phones.
