I was told by a friend to ask the person who is doing it to show me the bottle, but I don't know how it looks like. My friend got something else and found out much later. How do I know if the Botox I'm being injected is authentic?
Answer: Real Botox or not - choose a reputable physician You will never know what is being injected into you. Just seeing the Allergan hologram only means that the bottle you are looking at has a hologram on it.

Answer: Real Botox Cosmetic It is important that you feel comfortable in the place you have your injections. You should know who is injecting you and with what product. If you have any suspicions and do not feel comfortable, you should seek services elsewhere. If you check Botox Cosmetic.com you will find providers that Allergan utilizes for injection of their Botox Cosmetic. Feel free to ask the Doctor to open the box in front of you, if this makes you more comfortable. Ask to see the hologram on the bottle. Quite frankly, it is more important that you know that your injector has experience with this product or any other facial injection (Restylane, Juvederm, Sculptra, Radiesse).

Answer: Real Botox Vial You can visit the Allergan company website to see what the real Botox vial looks like. Better yet you can ask the physician to give you an empty vial and keep it with you to compare in future.

Answer: Real Botox Probably the best way to know your Botox is real is to go to a reputable doctor. But, going beyond that make sure that the bottle your physician is getting your Botox from has a holographic foil stamp. You can find what the stamp looks like on the Botox cosmetic web site.

Answer: Get real Botox from real medical professionals There have been some senational stories about people getting bogus Botox, and well-publicized prosecutions as a result. I think we are at the point where no medical professional in the U.S. is likely to risk their license by using something else. On the other hand, there was a case near Seattle where a non-medical person working in a beauty salon was injecting bogus Botox and something she told her patients was Restylane, all illegally imported from China. So my advice is watch out for deals that seem too good (Botox is expensive) and make sure it is a medical facility with the responsible physician's name clearly evident.

Answer: Botox, is it the real thing? You are wondering if you are getting Botox when you are told that is what is being injected. You can certainly ask to see the bottle, but I would recommend that you are having it done by a physician, and you should have trust in that physician. If you are asking about the validity of what you are told, then you don't have enough trust in the provider you are having treat you. That may be a concern. You can check out the doctor's references by asking other doctors.
