We all live in a day and age where convenience is king. But botox by bike really takes the cake! Apparently there is a new service being offered where Nurses will bring round the injections by bicycle or motorbike and party hosts are offered a discount on treatments if they can persuade up to five guests to have the face-firming jabs. (Come on girlfriends! Help your girl out!;)… lol)
However, critics say that it is likely that the places will not be hygienic enough for these procedures and there will be inadequate aftercare and risk of infection.
According to industry guidelines, Botox and other dermal fillers should be administered by a registered provider in a clinical setting. Yet Nurse Specialists in London (where the service is beginning to gain momentum), provides the “Botox by bike” service in the “comfort and privacy of your own home or office”. It charges 40 pounds for visits in London and 70 pounds for other appointments.
Janet Kettels, European director of corporate affairs for Botox manufacturers Allergan also spoke out against ‘Botox parties’ and advised people against it.
“We do not support nor supply Botox for sale or use in inappropriate settings such as ‘Botox parties’ in private homes or offices. We advise that injections should only be administered by qualified, licensed and trained healthcare professionals, who are based in a clinical, hygienic and professional setting,” he said.
However, Nurse Specialists, which has been running for almost five years, says clients rate its service as “excellent and professional” with a high level of information about aftercare treatments.
So what’s your take? Would you give this botox on a budget method a try even if it meant that you’d run the risk of infection, or worse?
Cheers…
thats a good post….
Botox is really in demand nowadays. Even those children experience injections. Just worried about the side effects to them.
