I love this story-as we only use Botox Cosmetic from Allergan and you can check our hologram on the bottle any time to make sure that is legitimately Botox Cosmetic. Unfortunately there have been some alarming instances of companies purchasing "off-label" botox that has caused terrible results, here is an article on this issue:

Uptown Dallas—
New Year celebrations are upon us. 2012 marks a fresh start, a time for resolutions, and for many...a chance to get that new, more youthful appearance.
“We’re seeing an explosive growth of procedures to make people look more beautiful, and Botox is definitely one of them,” says cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Jeffrey Adelglass, M.D., F.A.C.S.
He's always ready to make a pretty face more beautiful.
“You can see the hologram on this bottle – this is an original bottle of Botox,” says Dr. Adelglass.
He says a hologram on the bottle is one sure-fire way to know that Botox is the real deal. But Dr. Adelgass does warn consumers to proceed with caution when it comes to getting such treatments.
“There are a lot of importers and people are trying to buy it inexpensively through foreign channels and then use it on their patients,” he explains.
Just this week he received a letter in the mail with different out-of-the-country Botox options that he could potentially buy.
“Well, I think this is illegal,” says Dr. Adelglass.
Illegal or not, he says this is an increasing trend. Which is perhaps why some North Texans say "Botox" is not on their "To Do" list.
“Just because I’ve heard like the horror stories and then they don’t have like their natural expressions,” says Erika Gomez.
Others say they are not opposed to it.
“I would never use it personally, but I don’t fault people for trying to improve their appearance by any means,” says Steven Schwartz.
Dr. Adelglass says if you are looking for that New Year, New You "pick me up", it's all about doing your research first.
“And believe it or not, there is an importance to having a doctor [do this procedure] because this is a medical procedure. Botox, Deport - it can only be sold to physicians,” he says.
Dr. Adelglass also suggests using caution when it comes to purchasing cosmetic procedures via discount websites. He says this could be a red flag to potential "Botox Gone Bad" horror stories.

There will always be good and bad Botox treatments because there will always be good and bad doctors.
It's very important to choose the right place to get Botox, because only a clinic with a good reputation can offer you safe and effective treatments.
The best botox Toronto clinics have patients the entire year while small clinics get what the big ones don't have time to handle. At the big clinic you'll have experienced doctors performing the procedure while at the small one there is the risk not to have such a doctor.
