Is there such a thing as Cheap Botox™?

 

Firstly let’s look at what cheap actually means;

Relatively low in cost

Devalued –as in buying power cheap Euros

Of poor quality – a cheap toy

Worthy of no respect – a cheap gangster

Stingy, tight

On the cheap, cheap at twice the price

Now let’s look at what Botox™ actually means. You can find out more about Botox™ by reading the What is Botox article on www.advanceclinic.co.uk . Wikipedia introduces Botox™ as Botulinum toxin is a protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, and is known to be highly neurotoxic.^[1][2] When introduced intravenously in monkeys, type A of the toxin exhibits an LD₅₀ of 40-56 ng, type C1 around 32 ng, type D 3200 ng, and type E 88 ng, rendering the above types some of the most powerful neurotoxins known.^[3] Popularly known by one of its trade names, Botox® or onabotulinumtoxinA is now commonly used for various cosmetic and medical procedures.

You are probably familiar with the term Botox™ being used in relation to a non surgical cosmetic procedure for wrinkle softening and muscle relaxing injections. Would you seriously want something cheap to be injected in to you?

There are a number of clinics and beauty salons throughout the UK who advertise cheap Botox™ but you have to ask yourself the following questions;

• ·         What product are they using that means they can offer it cheaply?
• ·         Are the injections being carried out by a qualified Medical Practitioner?
• ·         Are they offering you a review after two weeks at no extra cost?
• ·         Are you offered a free consultation before having Botox™?
• ·         Does the clinic give you access to the Medical Practitioner following treatment should you have any issues?

Botox™ is a brand, not a treatment. Botox™ is the purest of products and is not diluted meaning that the results with Botox™ will last longer than some cheaper imitations. Advance Clinic works with a qualified Medical Practitioner who consults all new clients wishing to have Botox™ and invites them to attend a free check up two weeks after having Botox™. Our prices are competitive and we only use quality products ensuring our clients are given the best course of treatment and post treatment advice.

You are probably more familiar with Botox™ being used in cosmetic procedures rather than medical procedures. However, cosmetic Botox™ injections should only be carried out by a medical professional. Would you really want to have an untrained person use needles to inject a product in to your skin? Searching for cheap Botox™ would suggest that you do.

 

As with everything in this consumer society, you get what you pay for. If you buy a suit for £400 and one for £50, which one will survive and last for years? If you were looking to have cosmetic surgery, a breast augmentation for example, would you turn up at the Consultant’s office and ask for a discount? Would you visit a lawyer and ask if they will do it on the cheap?

If you are serious about finding somewhere that offers cheap Botox™ then you may be putting yourself at risk or allowing yourself to be injected with a lesser quality product that won’t give the longevity of results as Botox™ would.
