It’s likely over diluted
Botox Cosmetic comes in a powder form that should be made into liquid form by adding normal saline according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cheap Botox practices add extra saline, therefore over diluting the product, to be able to offer it at a cheaper price. Diluted Botox (too much water) means the injections will not last as long and will have less of an effect. Over diluted Botox also has a higher risk of spreading outside of the intended treatment area, which can lead to complications.
At Imagen Body Sculpting & Cosmetic Center we reconstitute Botox using the manufacturer recommended amount of saline because this is what the studies have shown to be effective and safe.
It may not be the original Botox
Botox-like knock offs from overseas manufacturers are much cheaper. However, given that a US company does not manufacture them, they may not meet the safety standards imposed by the FDA and could be dangerous.
The injector has little experience
The qualifications and the experience of the person injecting you is at least as important as using the original Botox product at the recommended dilution. Cheap Botox clinics typically use less-qualified personnel to do the injections. This can lead to uneven results and dangerous complications.
All of our Botox injections are ALWAYS performed by our very experienced medical doctors and not by other personnel less qualified or with less experience.

Like any medication, Botox has potential risks and side effects. The medical doctor administering Botox must make you well aware of the potential risks and side effects. Because it is a medication it must be prescribed and administered by a licensed medical doctor or under the supervision of a medical doctor. At Imagen Body Sculpting, all of our treatments are performed by our licensed and experienced medical doctors.
Imagen uses only FDA approved medical products and they are prepared according to the most effective and manufacturer recommended doses.
It’s your face and your face is your business card; It’s how you present to the world. Don’t let just anyone inject you…not matter how cheap it is. Below are some images of our patients before and after Botox or Dysport treatments.
