Hello Interloper!

So, yes, essentially we’re talking about that age-old controversy of the ‘Botox Party’, but with an added financial incentive for the host or hostess to secure as many people as possible for treatment at their event. With a maximum of 15 people per party and a requirement for 10 for the free treatment, it would seem that the clinic has at least allowed some space for weeding out contraindicated participants.
Derma Skin Clinic is very confident about this offer, so much so that they note on their website;
“This offer is back by popular demand and so we will be extending it indefinitely.”
But as a prescription-only medicine, should Botox® really be incentivised in this way?
We asked the clinic for comment on their offer and Dr. Sid Gautaum told us; “Our group Botox offer is quite popular. We use this as direct marketing to clients with large groups of friends. Since the groups are usually seen at our clinic, we have a controlled environment and therefore can ensure that the environs are clean and that no untoward substances have been taken by the clients. It is, in fact, particularly due to the uncontrolled nature of client’s homes that we do not offer mobile services.”
Still, it could be argued that a party is a party no matter where it is held!
