Follow on Google News | IAPAM Offers Consumers Cosmetic Injectable Safety Tips: A Video does not constitute Botox TrainingYes, its hard to believe but there are websites that are promoting DIY (Do It Yourself) Botox!"
By: Jeff Russell, Exec. Director, IAPAM Tip One: Botox buyer beware Recently, there have been several reports regarding DIY “botox-like” Tip Two: Cosmetic injectables need to be prescribed by a physician Botox Cosmetic and Dysport are FDA controlled substances, and can only be sold to licensed physicians for administration. The FDA offers these “tips” to consumers considering botulinum toxin injectables: Tip Three: Know the risks Make sure the benefits and risks are fully explained to you in a patient consultation. Fully disclose any medical conditions you might have and medications you are taking, including vitamins and over-the-counter drugs. Botulinum toxin products should be administered in an appropriate setting using sterile instruments. Malls, private homes, hotel rooms, and conference rooms are not medical environments and may be unsanitary. Tip Four: Choose a physician who is comprehensively trained in all cosmetic injectable outcomes Patients should insist on engaging a doctor who has completed comprehensive, clinical training programs like the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium or Advanced Botox /Dermal Filler Bootcamp. For the patient, this translates into ensuring that their physician is trained in the latest injection techniques, is comfortable with dealing with a possible adverse event due to the procedure and is a member of a internationally recognized aesthetic association. Understandably, consumers will continue to look for opportunities to forgo expensive professional services, but ultimately, the wisest consumers will opt to save money through DIY home decorating, and not aesthetic medicine procedures.
