A rise in problems ranging from burns to scars to infection, or even worse, are definitely on the rise with these spas opening just about everywhere these days. Scary, isn’t it?

One way to know if a MediSpa is probably a safe place in which to have a procedure performed is if there is a physician on board who is there during the treatments. And I don’t mean a dentist over-seeing Botox treatments. I mean a dermatologist. Someone who deals with the skin, as most of these treatments are preformed on the skin.

And if the prices at these MediSpa’s sound too good to be true, then they are. For instance, the makers of Botox Cosmetic charge $500 per bottle, to each and everyone it sells too. So if a Botox treatment price is too low, then you risk that the product being used is either not Botox, or a diluted version.

Better be safe than sorry. Call ahead. Be aware. Ask questions. These are medical procedures.
