A new survey conducted by the Good Surgeon Guide demonstrates the lengths that some women are willing to go to in order to maintain a youthful appearance.
According to the Guide, non-invasive treatments such as BOTOX™ are viewed by women as a safe procedure to perform on themselves.
The research revealed that 22 per cent of women admitted they would be happy to inject highly toxic BOTOX™ into their own face. This is compared with 11 per cent of women who are willing to cut their own hair, a much less risky procedure.
Although the shocking results revealed that 22 per cent of women would rather inject BOTOX™ into their own faces then cut their own hair, 54 per cent of the women surveyed were more cautious and said they would consider BOTOX™ as long as it was carried out by a trained professional.
David Ross, Chief Executive of The Hospital Group, said: “BOTOX™ is a prescription only medicine and consumers should only seek treatments for BOTOX™ from recognised and trained medical aesthetic healthcare practitioners.  News of women being prepared to conduct potentially dangerous treatments on themselves is incredibly worrying.Â
“With The Hospital Group’s expert advice and procedures people can be assured of a safe, dependable solution to their wrinkles. As one of the UK’s leading providers of cosmetic surgery, anti-wrinkle treatments are part and parcel of the fantastic procedures we offer to perfect your look.”
