Is it safe to get Botox injections?

One of our listeners sent us a message asking us to do an episode on whether Botox is dangerous.  We know it’s become incredibly popular since it was approved for cosmetic use 20 years ago 

We’re joined by Dr Cara McDonald, a dermatologist from Sunbury in Victoria.  Dr Cara tells us what Botox is, why it’s so popular….and the best way to make the most of what it has to offer.

The college of cosmetic surgery in Australia puts the spending on cosmetic procedures at more than one billion dollars... with around a third of that on Botox. 

And increasingly...it’s being used by younger Australians in an effort to prevent aging.  Is Botox dangerous….?
