Black Market Botched Botox - The Industry With No Regulations - When Beauty Turns Ugly

✖ Instagram - @james_s_welsh ✖ Twitter - @james_s_welsh Botox is a brand name for Botulinum toxin type A. A neurotoxin that stops your muscles from contracting. APRIL 15TH 2002, Botox was approved by the FDA as a temporary cosmetic treatment for moderate to severe frown lines and strictly as a cosmetic. From 2000 to 2015 the use of botox for wrinkles alone increases by 759% after becoming a huge part of pop culture, often being a punchline to many sitcom jokes. But of course, when anything rises in popularity, issues and controversies are bound to follow. Today we take a look at the completely unregulated world of Botox, filler, and aesthetics. From botched Botox to the horrific result of the fox eye trend (threads) gone wrong. The lack of training and the life-changing damage that happens as a result. Exposing the Dr's using black market and illegal botox. And what can be done about the state of the Botox industry?
