Botox Parties Not Safe

Patricia Farris, 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 usually gatherings of women who are lured to non medical settings (hotels or in a home)  with the hope of getting botox injections at a reduced priced.  Many times the injectors are inexperienced non-physicians or may be physicians who practicing out of the scope of their specialty.  Botox should be injected by dermatologists, plastic surgeons, ENT's or ophthalmologists and this procedure should be performed in a medical office only.  I wish I had a nickle for every woman I have seen who went to one of these parties only be disappointed after spending plenty of money and getting a very mediocre result.  My advice, pay the price and stick with pros.
