Stop right
there! Before pressing that tempting “purchase” button on the Living Social or
Groupon offer, let’s play a game: Buyer Beware.
Although I know
it’s a nearly irresistible urge to grab a bargain, especially now with
last-minute Christmas shopping wearing heavily on your shoulders and no idea
what to purchase for some of those on your list, I want you to know that some
of those “deals” might have some steep repercussions that go along with their
purchase.
The FDA is currently
warning consumers that “deals” on BOTOX® and fillers might not be a good buy. Several
US Medi Spas have been using non-approved dermal fillers and Botox-type
injections. While less expensive than the real thing, they are, unfortunately, not the real thing.
The challenge with BOTOX® & Filler Discounts:
Everybody in
Delaware who uses BOTOX® Cosmetic loves to get a bargain. Did you know that
BOTOX® must be diluted to use it? Some practitioners water it down more than it should be, so it will go
farther. That means it might not work as well or last as long. That’s not
really saving you anything in the long run, is it? No.
My advice is to
purchase BOTOX® and fillers from the same highly skilled physician each time,
rather than shopping around for a “better deal” that can expose you to products
that are either old or overly diluted.
Truth is, the
results of your injections will be more effective, last longer, and look better
when purchased from a physician with experience in their use. It’s the hand
that holds the syringe that makes the big difference in fillers.
Merry Chistmas
and Happy 2013!
To your health
& beauty,
