‘On the Rise' with Vanessa Freeman: How Botox helps with maintaining hairstyles

NEW YORK (PIX11) — Botox has been around for decades, and while it's primarily used to get rid of unwanted facial lines and wrinkles, it's finding its way into the hair care industry by helping people maintain their mane. Upkeeping the perimeter of your hair, or 'edges' as they are by some, has become a billion-dollar industry, as cited in a Business Insider Article. More Local News Girl Boss, Wendy Pittman is a busy grandmother and business owner. She loves working out, but wants to stay fit without the frizz. 'My hair has a curly pattern to it, so I work out, even if I pin it up, and tie it under a silk scarf when that comes off, all of this here that is left out of the sew-in is like poof!' Pittman said. More: Latest News from Around the Tri-State Dr. Jeanine Downie, a Montclair dermatologist has been experimenting with using botox to keep hair sweat-free for years. 'I did it on myself and I saw that it really worked and so I started offering it to my patients and it's been about three years and my patients love it,' Dr. Downie said. Wendy is among a growing number of Dr. Downie's patients, going from the salon chair to her doctor's chair, to maintain their hair styles. 'A lot of my patients question whether it's actually going to hurt the hairline. The answer is absolutely not. This boosts their image, it makes them feel better, it makes them stand taller, and makes them feel more elegant and more in charge of their lives.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
