Absurd!

David Lawrence Kaufman, MD answers: Botox a fraud that increases the need for a facelift?

A doctor in India, Dr. Vijay Sharma states in a news story that Botox is a fraud.

He is quoted as saying “In the case of frequent use, the damage to the muscles may force a patient to undergo a face-lift at an early age. This scam allows for doctors and dermatologists to set themselves up for a steady income from their patients.”

We would like your response to Dr. Sharma which will be used in RealSelf.com news section.  Thank you.

I agree with the other physician's comments. Botox is a rigorously tested drug that millions swear by. Those assertions are not based in any scientific data and do not reflect reality.
