For years I've joked about do-it-yourself surgery as a possible solution to the escalating costs of health care. And everything I say on the subject is just that: A joke. Not to be taken seriously. Got it?
OK. With that said, there's a Website that allegedly shows the DIY'er how to do his own Botox treatments (which usually involve injections into the face) to beat the signs of aging and the high cost of treatment:
... Wired.com looks into a site that seems to offer clients the drugs and tutorials to do just that. Video how-to demos show how to inject the drug, derived from botulinum toxin, into one's own face ...
And:
Discountmedspa sells a variety of other DIY cosmetic treatments, including prescription Renova, and lip-filling gels. The botulinum toxin-derivative for sale on the site is Dysport, produced by the pharmaceutical company Ipsen and is a competitor of Allergan’s Botox. The site simply calls it "the Freeze."
If you're dumb enough to try this, don't tell me about it. Please.
