Botox Parties
The FDA is warning people about the dangers of Botox parties. Since its approval in 2002 for cosmetic procedures, Botox has become the most popular cosmetic treatment in the country. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 4.5 million injections of Botox were given in 2007, with a 488% increase over the year 2000 totals.
Because of its popularity, some Botox providers have taken to launching Botox parties for their patients. In a recent CBS story, they cite a proponent of Botox parties, who feels it is a way for people to get together and have a good time while they wait for their injections. In the same report, opponents of Botox parties argue that it is a marketing gimmick and that it devalues the real benefits cosmetic surgeons have to offer.
The FDA is concerned that Botox has the potential for being abused. The ASAPS [American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons] recently reported that unqualified people are dispensing Botox in salons, gyms, hotel rooms, home-based offices, and other retail venues. In such cases, people run the risks of improper technique, inappropriate dosages, and unsanitary conditions.
It is important to find a qualified provider and schedule a face-to-face consultation if you are interested in Botox. The parties may be fun, but you could be shortchanging yourself or subjecting yourself to unsanitary conditions administered by under-qualified personnel.
If you are looking for a qualified cosmetic surgeon in the San Francisco area to treat you properly with Botox injections, please contact Dr. Weil today to schedule a one-on-one consultation.
