Taking to her TikTok page on July 9, a woman who goes by “Mommy Momentss” shared a video of herself getting injected with botox by her dermatologist mother.
In the video, which has amassed over 1.3 million views, the TikToker was seen flinching and humorously bickering, as her determined mom kept on pricking her face with the seemingly painful needle.

In the caption, the witty daughter wrote: “I still hate needles.”
Botulinum toxin injections, such as Botox, relax the muscles in your face to smooth out lines and wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and frown lines, the NHS explains.
As the dermatologist mom was not wearing gloves at the time of injecting the product, the viral video left some people divided, as a TikTok user asked: “Gloves??” to which “Mommy Momentss” replied: “She’s my mom, it’s fine.”

Someone else penned: “You moving every time she puts the needle in is stressing me out hahahahah.” But the daughter responded: “Nahh she’s so used to me.”
“Spectacular given me 14 of them,” a netizen quipped.

A separate individual chimed in: “Can she adopt me?”
Upon reviewing the viral video, Dr. Jody Levine, the Director of Dermatology at Plastic Surgery & Dermatology of NYC, told Bored Panda in an email: “Realistically, there are some benefits to your mom being a dermatologist, and getting Botox when it’s convenient is one of those benefits!”

Dr. Levine, who is an expert in dermatology and dermatologic surgery, highlighted that another benefit of having a parent in the field would be getting a pimple popped or injected at home.

She continued: “Hopefully, the mom cleaned her own hands and her daughter’s skin properly before injecting, since putting a needle in the skin does require proper cleansing before and after.
“And, of course, it is good to practice good habits and always wear gloves, but I don’t have a problem with a mother injecting her daughter without gloves, as long as the mother’s hands are clean, and the face is clean.”

Dr. Lederman notably appeared in an episode of VH1’s Mob Wives, in which she was filmed injecting the late reality TV show’s star, Big Ang, with botox.
