Are Botox Parties Legal?

A few Botox legal issues have been arising of late involving Perth Botox parties. Groups of friends are getting together, often with illegally obtained cosmetic injectables, for a “Botox party”.

What Does the Law Say?
In Australia, Botox is a schedule 4, prescription-only drug. This means it can’t be advertised to the public and must be administered with medical supervision.

How to Find a Reputable Botox Provider?

Everyone is always looking for a bargain, but when it comes to your health, it’s not something on which you should put a dollar value. If you have been thinking about getting Botox treatment, then here’s how to find a reputable local Botox provider – and it’s not by who has the lowest price tag.

Word of Mouth

One of the most effective methods for finding any beauty solution, a reputable Botox provider is by talking to those who have had injections before. If they still receive them, then use their faces as “proof” of the efficacy of the process. Find out whether your friends and family members would recommend certain practitioners over others, and how they found the entire process.

Read Reviews

When you are sure you want to receive Botox injections, then it’s a good idea to compile a list of Botox providers near you, then browse the internet for reviews. Social media is always an excellent source of information – with people more than happy to offer their real-life experiences dealing with particular businesses. Google Reviews also provides an abundance of information from real customers who are all too willing to list the pros and cons of dealing with a company.

Side Effects of Botox

Many people have botox injections to smooth out or prevent wrinkles and experience no side effects whatsoever. However, there are some side effects to Botox injections that can happen for various reasons.

One of the more common side-effects is a drooping eyelid – called ptosis – when injections are placed close to the eye perimeter. While this can be treated with another medication it is better if it doesn’t happen at all.

There are things you can do to prevent side effects such as these from occurring.

  • Always make sure the injections are done by a fully trained plastic surgeon who understands the facial muscles and their interaction with each other and who is experienced in doing Botox treatment.
  • To prevent ptosis, make sure the injection site is at least 2cm outside the orbital rim.
  • Do not rub or massage any injection site as this can move the serum to other parts of the face.
  • Do not indulge in hard physical exercise for 12-24 hours after the injections.
  • Always tell your physician if you are on any other medications or have any other medical condition, including inflammatory skin conditions.
  • Tell the doctor if you are pregnant or lactating.
  • The first time you have Botox treatment, have the doctor use a smaller dose to make sure there are no ill effects and see how your body reacts to it.
