She has so many clients who are at the clinic in hiding that she has a separate door where they can come and go without being discovered. &#8211; There are many who find it unpleasant that the rest of the city should know that they are here. Men in particular want to be invisible, she says. They also get their own waiting area at the heart of the clinic where no one sees them.

According to clinics across the country, customers no longer want large lips with fillers. &#8211; There were a lot more of these Hollywood lips a few years ago. Then many customers thought it was cool to look treated, says Schj\u00f8tt. She says that social media has helped inform customers. &#8211; With TikTok, it has become easier to see the consequences of incorrect use of, for example, fillers in the lips, she says.

It is much worse to find out who is getting Botox. &#8211; We cannot distinguish between what is used for medical or cosmetic purposes. Unfortunately, we have no overview of what only goes to beauty salons, says FHI. When it comes to fillers, there is no overview of the sale and use of fillers in Norway.

This has been written by news earlier in this article: The fear of lines Psychologist Eva Tryti meets weekly women in therapy who find it unpleasant that the wrinkles appear and the face changes. &#8211; Signs of aging on women are the big ban of the day. We have a culture where old age is suppressed, she says. Psychologist Eva Tryti believes that today&#8217;s women are afraid of old age, which is why they run down the beauty clinics.

It is a shame that injections and fillers have become normalized in many groups, she says. Today&#8217;s body and appearance pressure means that many people are not happy, says Tryti. She is concerned with the double standards we surround ourselves with when we need secret doors into the beauty clinics. &#8211; This &#8220;door of shame&#8221; reflects that there is great duplicity in society. It is becoming increasingly common to use more dramatic and invasive methods. At the same time, many have strongly negative attitudes towards this, says Tryti.
