White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood reveals why she is ‘very anti-Botox’ | Lifestyle News
Aimee Lou Wood, who is currently basking in the spotlight owing to her stellar performance in the HBO series White Lotus season, recently shared her thoughts on cosmetic treatments and surgeries in a podcast episode.
“I’m, like, very anti-Botox. People can do whatever the hell they want, but for myself because, you know, a lot of my career relies on these facial expressions… so I can’t start freezing my face. It needs to move,” the Sex Education star said on The Run-Through with Vogue.
She added that, at times, she moves her face too much: “Sometimes I watch things back and I go, ‘Jesus, I wasn’t aware that I was using my face that much in that moment.’”
What exactly is Botox?
Dr Gunasekar Vuppalapati, senior reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgeon at GVG Invivo Hospitals, told that Botox is a cosmetic treatment that temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles. “This helps prevent excessive facial movement, which leads to fine lines and creases,” he said.

If you have contemplated joining the bandwagon, here are some pointers to consider.
According to Dr Vuppalapati, the decision to undergo Botox should be based on individual aesthetic goals, skin condition, and medical hory. “Consulting with an experienced aesthetic surgeon or dermatolog is essential to determine whether Botox is the best option or if alternative treatments may be more suitable,” he said.
Before undergoing the procedure, he suggested researching the qualifications and experience of your provider. “Botox should always be adminered a licensed professional with expertise in facial anatomy to ensure natural-looking results and minimise complications,” he told .
Dr Vuppalapati also stressed the need for realic expectations. “Botox does not permanently stop ageing but helps soften wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming. Patients should disclose any medical conditions, allergies, or medications they are taking, as certain conditions, such as neuromuscular disorders, may contraindicate Botox use,” he added.Story continues below this ad
