DIY Botox Kits Are Stupid

botox-DIY-buy-onlineSome times you can’t help but feel sorry for people… Who buys Botox DIY kits online from Russia or the Far East to then inject themselves with the prescription-only drug in a vain attempt to beat the surgeon’s bill? Are people really that stupid?

Sadly, the answer is yes. According to the papers today a clinic in Manchester (Uk) has seen a 57% increase in the number of cash strapped patients seeking help after botched Botox since 2007. Over a third had ordered the drug online and over 83% of these self-injected.

What is wrong with these people? Doctors train for years in order the use Botox properly. Injected incorrectly the drug can permanently paralyze and even cause blindness. America has seen 16 deaths due to Botox, when the drug has shut down vital organs.

Botox is glamorized so much that now some people buy DIY kits for around £100 and treat it like waxing or facials. If you want to beat wrinkles cheaply just use products like Olay’s Complete Care Multi-Radiance. Rick tried it out last month and loved it. Or alternatively find a proper trained professional and research their cosmetic track record. Buying cheap Botox DIY kits online and then slipping the needles in yourself is just stupid.

    I used to use sugaring to remove my unwanted hair but it was so uncomfortable that I had to find something else. I gave waxing a try and it worked somewhat but was really time consuming. So then I tried laser hair removal and was really satisfied. I actually tried the silk n sensepil and was completely pleased with the outcome. It gave me permanent hair removal at an great price. I definitly recommend it to someone instead of waxing.
