Groupon for Botox by a Licensed PA, Asking for Trouble? Bad Idea?

User Avatar

I just recently was alerted for a Groupon for 20 units of Botox or 50 units of Dysport for $149.00. Considering the cost of Botox and Dr's fee, not to mention that Groupon receives 50% of each transaction, it makes me very suspicious about the validity of such an offer. How could they possibly make money from this? can Botox be diluted to the point that it is economically possible for this Medical Center to make this offer? It sounds too good to be true BUT I am not a Dr so I am asking. Thank U !
