Q: Who is qualified to inject Botox?
From time to time, there has been mention of Botox having caused death. The majority of these cases were being treated for Cerebral Palsy and other neurological disorders. The doses being injected were given during a scientific study and were massive by cosmetic standards. Just to give you an example, the doses used in the scientific study were in the range of up to 700 units.
For cosmetic purposes we use a maximum of 75 units. Usually we only use 20 to 40 units. It is very important that you trust that the person who is administering Botox is using the official Botox from Allergan and not a non-FDA look-a-like product. I only approve of using the bonafide Botox manufactured by Allergan. I can’t stress to you how important it is that before you opt to get any type of non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment that you thoroughly understand the training and experience of your plastic surgeon or dermatologist. My first concern is, as always, for the safety of the patient.
