A recent report from the American Academy of Dermatology Association has reported that injections of fake Botox have caused four hospitalizations for Botulism-like illness.
This was first reported on the NBC News April 10th after an alert from the CDC that Botulism-like illnesses were reported in a multi-state region.
Botox has a long safety record with its' use, but apparently these are counterfeit injections.
This post serves as a warning to know that you are getting your injections through a reputable provider, ie Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon.
Always ask questions, feel free to ask to see the bottle, and ask how long the Provider has being doing the injections.
