The Daily Mail has a frightening article today about companies that are selling Botox, Restylane, and banned skin-lightening creams online.

It's illegal to do this in countries such as the US or UK, but this doesn't stop companies based elsewhere to try to sell these medical products online.

It's hard to believe anyone would want to try to inject themselves with something that arrives in the mail from unknown sources. But even if you were 100% sure this was legit botox it is extremely risky to try to do it yourself. One doctor says;

If the toxin is not injected in precisely the right place, you can paralyse the wrong muscles, causing drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow or even paralysing the muscles that move the eyeball, causing impaired vision.

'With applications of Botox in the lower face and neck it is also possible to cause inability to speak or swallow, and there has been at least one death reported in America. While these are rare complications in the hands of an expert, they are potentially life threatening in unqualified hands.'
