New Survey Suggests That Consumers Are Naive to the Risk of Botox Parties and the Importance of FDA Approval for Cosmetic I...(men -- magazines andadvertising -- are n...),Health

The survey, conducted in March and April, 2008 is limited to a population of consumers with interest in cosmetic medicine and should not be considered projectable to all consumers. The summary of survey findings can be found at http://www.injectablesafety.org/newsroom.

The Coalition offers consumers these very simple questions to ask before considering any cosmetic injectable procedure:

-- Doctor: Is the injectable recommended by a qualified doctor who

regularly treats similar conditions, in an appropriately licensed and

equipped medical facility? Has the doctor examined the prospective

patient before recommending treatment?

-- Brand: Is the injectable recommended approved by the U.S. FDA for

cosmetic indications and is it appropriately labeled and packaged to

reflect its authenticity and approval?

-- Safety: Is the setting a proper medically-equipped office, with safety

and sterilization procedures? Has the physician evaluated conditions,

recommended treatment, offered alternatives and clearly defined the

potential outcomes including any complications?
