PSA: please stop doing ātox at homeā from TikTok š„²
Someone has to say it so please hear me out! I know it looks easy online. I know it looks cheaper.But this trend is actually so unbelievably unsafe. Botox (or any tox) is literally a prescription medication + one of the most powerful toxins we use in medicine and itās only safe when itās FDA-approved,properly dosed, injected by a trained, licensed professional When people are doing it at home or buying it online, none of that is guaranteed.
REAL TALK:
-You donāt actually know what youāre injecting
-A lot of ātoxā sold online is counterfeit, contaminated, or not regulated at all
-Dosing is NOT guesswork
-Even small mistakes can lead to serious complications because the strength can vary a lot
-Placement matters more than you think
-Being off by millimeters can cause drooping eyelids,uneven smile, trouble speaking or swallowing and it can affect your breathing
There have been reports of people being hospitalized with botulism-like symptoms after unsafe injections
And NO this isnāt fear tactics. This is straight from actual medical reports and health agencies.
When tox is done correctly in a medical setting? Itās very safe. When itās done at home or from random online products? Totally different story. Saving money is not worth risking your face⦠or your health.
Genuinely love all of you and i'm thinking about your health not my wallet. š¤
