Botox Parties Not Always A Good Time!
June 08, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Health News
“Botox is very safe if performed by a qualified physician in an appropriate setting,” says Dr. Joel Schlessinger, one of the nation’s most respected experts on cosmetic surgery. “Most patients never realize that there are all types of doctors out there doing Botox injections in a party atmosphere where alcohol is usually served. Botox parties may offer some benefit by reducing cost. However, unless proper measures are in place to ensure both the safety and effectiveness of treatments, I advise you to enjoy the party but get your Botox injections in your doctor’s office!”Joel is an entertaining and knowledgeable interview. He will tell your audience the 7 critical questions you need to answer “yes” to before undergoing a Botox injection at a party.
• Was there a complete medical history?
• Were you advised on alternative treatments?
• Were you advised of the risks and did you give informed consent?
• Is a qualified physician performing the treatment?
• Is the physical setting appropriate for administrating medical treatment?
• Are you willing and able to follow post-treatment instructions?
• Will you receive any follow-up care?
Dr. Schlessinger’s efforts have received critical acclaim from the media from around the country (including In Style Magazine and Dermatology Business Management Magazine) and the local TV and radio media. In addition to being a founding member of the American Society for Cosmetic Dermatology and Aesthetic Surgery, Dr. Schlessinger is a member of the American Academy of Dermatology and the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. He is a board certified General Cosmetic Surgeon and board certified Dermatologist.
