Botox parties are not safe

Wilfred Brown, 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

Botox parties are not safe. Botox should only be injected by qualified, adequetly-trained personnel. The procedure should be performed in a medical office that is well lit, and is suitable for performing medical procedures. Patients need a medical history taken, and an examination needs to be done regarding what muscles/ creases need treatment. An informed consent cannot be taken in a party setting, and the presence of alcohol beverages may impair your ability to sign an informed consent.
