GENERIC BOTOX INJECTIONS ARE NOT SAFE
Here’s why:
First, let’s look at what Botox actually is. Botox is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows. How so? Well, Botox is a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, and when injected into the underlying muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, it temporarily paralyzes them, therefore pausing dynamic wrinkles and preventing static lines.
Because you can’t be sure what’s exactly in any “Botox” sold on the black market, you incur many risks by using such products, including paralysis, lop-sided lips, droopy eyelids, blisters, and infected facial sores. These substances are not controlled by the FDA, so the only way anyone can sell generic Botox on the Internet is by either bringing it in from outside the country or by selling counterfeit products. Both pose serious risks, obviously.
The risks of counterfeit Botox are so severe that dermatologist’s offices are seeing a rise in people desperate for professional help to erase their own mistakes. To make matters worse, doctors often don’t know what substances they are battling to remove.
A “Botox party” could leave you with all sorts of dangerous side effects including permanent paralysis, nerve damage, scarring, and infections. And even if you have the real thing, don’t try to inject yourself. It’s just common sense.
The risks of buying generic Botox online and injecting it yourself–or having a friend inject it for you–far outweigh any money you think you might be saving. You’ll just end up spending more money trying to reverse the damage caused by carelessly buying and injecting black-market Botox.
