Many physicians and clinics have been accused of injecting bogus Botox from a lab (T.R.I.) in Arizona that has distributed ”experimental Botox, not for use in humans” to many unethical practioners. There have been indictments against “practioners” in Las Vegas, in Houston, and in Florida for the same offense.

In this economic downturn I fear that we will hear about more of these cases. We will also be seeing “discounted” “units” of Botox. Buyer beware, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Not only that, your well being may be at stake. Therefore we must emphasize how important it is to choose your injecting physician most carefully. Choose a board certified physician experienced and trained in one of the core cosmetic specialties (facial plastic surgery, plastic surgery, ENT, opthalmoplastic surgery, or dermatology). Good luck and be well
