Dermatology society warns of "bogus Botox"
Recent reports of "bogus Botox" injections that resulted in the deaths of several women has prompted the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) to issue a statement warning the public against seeking cosmetic treatments from non-physicians. "Never have any injections done unless it's in a reputable physician's office, because it's unsafe," Dr. Rhoda Narins, past president of ASDS, told Reuters Health. "You wouldn't entrust the care of your heart or kidneys to a non-physician, so why should your skin be any different?" she asked in the ASDS statement. The recent report involved a Salinas, California hairstylist who may face charges of manslaughter for injecting clients with the counterfeit substance. The ingredients of the substance used are still unknown, according to police reports. Furthermore, the hairstylist, who solicited clients from her salon and conducted house calls to perform the procedures, was not medically licensed or trained to do so.
