How Do I Know if Real Botox is Being Injected?

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.

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.

You could go to BOTOXCosmetic.com and check to make sure your physician is a provider. Looking at the bottle or package may be helpful as well.
I hope this is helpful for you.
