Medical treatments like Botox should be administered in a medical environment

Ira D. Papel, MD answers: Botox party: are they safe?

I’m interested in knowing more about the true risk of Botox parties. Are the risks all that significant that you need a doctor on-hand? Afterall, Botox does wear off

No. Like any medical treatment, a wrinkle reducing injection should only be prescribed by and injected under the direct supervision of a properly qualified physician in a properly equipped medical setting (doctor’s facility).

No medical treatment should be administered in a social setting, whether alcohol is served or not.
