Botox To Go!

Imagine being able to order your Botox injection on your lunch break! New Botox boutiques are already thriving in cities like N.Y.C and L.A. for beauty minded people on-the-go!  Patients seem to enjoy their hassle free Botox quick fix because it is so fast, easy and convenient.   They can stop in during lunch break or after work to de-wrinkle their worries away! However, the question is…”Is this putting the patients safety at risk?” 

Last week the first walk-in Botox Boutiqe, Luxxery Express, was launched in D.C with celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Hakki behind it all!  These new cosmetic walk-in clinics allow you to get your Botox and filler fix with no appointment necessary! 

With no surprise, these cosmetic clinics are raising some critics eyebrows...no pun intended!  Many core practitioners believe Botox boutiques will negatively impact the profession because of the lower quality of care for patients.  Instead of safety being a priority, getting patients in, out and on their way appears to be the main concern.

Though Luxxery Express claims that board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Hakki will be administering all of the injections, don’t expect to receive that same expertise at many of the other walk-in spas. 

There is not doubt that Botox can work wonders when it is properly administered. However, it is important not to under estimate the need for a highly trained professional who understands the anatomy, exactly how the treatment works and where the proper injection sites are located. 

Due to the popular demand of Botox, many untrained providers are performing injections, therefore its important for the patient to do choose their injector wisely!  After all, the goal is to look better and not worse, right?
