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

Answer: Botox Parties With Dermatologists Can Be Safe Many women enjoy getting cosmetic procedures at the same time as their friends, to make the experience more communal. However, these procedures should always be performed by a qualified and well-trained professional with years of expertise, ideally in a medical office setting. Botox is a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles. If injected incorrectly, it may create nerve damage and/or unwanted paralysis that can disfigure facial expresses and cause a drooping or closed eyelid. Botox takes three to four months to wear off, so if a mistake is made, you will have to live with the consequences for quite some time. If you and your friends wish to do Botox together, be sure to choose a board-certified dermatologist to help you get the results you want. We have performed Botox and other procedures with groups of friends in our medical office during the weekend or on evenings by special request.

Answer: Botox Party Safety Concerns
It is absolutely essential that Botox is administered by an experienced medical specialist to help reduce possible risks and complications that can occur. Some forms of side effects can last weeks, while others can last for several months. If the Botox party does not have a medical practitioner performing the injections, then it should be avoided.
The person administering the Botox must have a thorough understanding of facial anatomy and how to work with these principles to not only make necessary corrections, but also to ensure a sound aesthetic result.

Answer: The risk is small but not zero at Botox parties If your Botox party is hosted by a qualified physician who is using the real product (not lab Botox or other substance) you should be fine. I don't do Botox parties because I meet the patients, examine them, take photos and consent them. This way we have a proper medical record for future treatments and if a problem were to occur we can figure out why. My only real worry is the horror stories of people going to a hotel room to one of these parties and having who knows what injected by some shady character and patients have a bad reaction to the substance without any way to track down what happened. Hope this helps.
