This would be tragic for my bank account, saysAlex Wollman, a publicist in New York.
I have to get Botox more often because my body metabolizes it faster, she explains.
But Id still go broke for it.
Going broke for Botox may sound like a sitcom plot, but it soon may be a reality.
In other words, its important that those who need it have access to it.
Then there are other injectables such as filler, which Wollman does twice a year in her lips.
Ive also done other treatments likeSculptra, and Ill probably want to do another session.
So this tariff will really not be ideal for me, she says.
So just how much will these treatments be affected?

Where is Botox made?
All Botox is made in the town of Westport, Ireland.
Will the tariffs affect Botox?
Officially, noat least, not yet.
Botox and other neuromodulators fall under pharmaceuticals, which are exempt from the reciprocal tariffs.
Botox can therefore continue to be imported duty-free.
If that is put into effect, Botox and friends would no longer be exempt.
(AbbVie, the maker of Botox Cosmetic, did not returnGlamours request for comment.)
What about other fillers?
Juvederm and other fillers arenotexempt from the tariffs.
This headingdoes not appear in the list of exemptions from the reciprocal tariffs, explains Abely.
In the past, when imported from France, this product has entered the US duty-free.
Will the price of Botox and fillers increase?
It remains to be seen.
Theres still a risk here.
A lot can happen during the next 90 days until the tariffs go into effect.
