The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) says that 2.8 million botox procedures were done last year. This makes botox the most popular cosmetic procedure since 2000.
The numbers just keep rising and have jumped to 82 percent in the past five years.
Although many reports about botox have been positive, there have also been some alarming trends such as “Botox parties.” This is when a group of people get together to have botox performed.
The ASAPS says that it is important that if you are seeking botox you need to make sure a qualified person does it. These are some of the questions they would ask:
· Have you been asked to provide a complete medical history?
· Have you been advised on alternative treatments?
· Have you been advised of the risks and given your informed consent?
Is a qualified clinician administering the treatment?
· Is the physical setting appropriate for administering medical treatment, including handling emergency situations?
· Do you know what you are being injected with?
· Are you willing and able to follow post-treatment instructions?
· Will you receive adequate follow-up care?
"Botox parties" can be good for you to reduce the cost of an individual treatment, however you need to make sure a qualified professional is doing them.
