Is it safe to DIY inject filler and Botox by yourself?

Thank you for your question. I cannot caution you enough against trying to do injectable treatments yourself. In addition to ending up with less-than-stellar results, you run a high risk of potentially dangerous side effects, including infection, scarring, tissue necrosis, and disfigurement. If you hit a blood vessel, which is very possible in the vascular areas of the face, you could risk a blood clot and even stroke. Misplaced injections near the eyes could lead to impaired vision and blindness. I strongly advise you to find an experienced, board-certified injector who can perform your treatment safely and effectively.

Hi there, we absolutely do not recommend DIY facial injections. You must receive facial injections from a certified injector. DIY injections have major side effects, such as; infection, deformity, skin necrosis, blindness, blocked blood vessel (which can cause a heart attack or stroke), and more. Please visit your local expert injector. They will further educate you on why this is a bad idea.

Board certified cosmetic physicians have spent tens of thousands of hours training in their respective fields to become proficient, experienced injectors. It is never advised to have patients inject their own toxin or filler. Always consult with a board certified cosmetic physician before any procedure.
