A British teenager is already hooked on Botox, with blessings from her mother, the Daily Mail UK reports. Hannah Burge, 16, had her first Botox injections a year ago, explaining, “I had a couple of lines on my forehead and around my mouth, which I was unhappy about. Appearance is important to me and I don’t want to look haggard and ugly by the time I’m 25.”

Now, honestly, we think 16 years old is a little too young for someone to do Botox. But apparently, thousands of teens in the US (according to stats from the ASPS) don’t think so, getting injections done to treat wrinkles on the face and delaying their onset. “Teen Toxing” is what they call it, and the 16 year old daughter of the one and only Real Life Barbie, Sarah Burge does it, too. Sarah Burge has spent a fortune on cosmetic surgery, and she totally supports her daughter’s quest for eternal youth (no surprise there!) Licensed to administer Botox, Sarah even does the injections herself.

Her daughter, Hannah, had her first Botox injection at 15 in Spain, and she plans on continuing to receive injections to not look “haggard and ugly by the time I’m 25,” (Those were her exact words, according to news reports.) Hannah hopes to venture into the world of injectable fillers next, getting lip augmentation to plump up her upper lip.

Sure, it may work for her to get rid of those pesky wrinkles on the forehead, but really, “Teen Toxing”? Are wrinkles that bad at such an age?
