Coming from the States, the trend seems to be increasing in France. We take stock with Doctor Alexandre Koutsomanis, plastic surgeon in Paris.

We knew the Bachelerotte Party, this EVJF pushed to its climax to live your last bachelor party like in an American film, and now a new phenomenon Made in the USA is already appearing. If the practice of Botox Party has existed for a few years, the subject was still taboo. Today, the trend is gaining momentum as the talk around aesthetic medicine and surgery is demystified.&nbsp;

The name is quite self-explanatory: they are simply " injection evenings " where the goal is to have fun with friends, around <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/ibiza/ibiza-town-s-top-five-cocktails-with-charles-vexenat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cocktails</a> and DJ sets, all sprinkled with an unusual activity &mdash; that of <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/beaute/massage-visage-substitut-botox-anti-ge-drainage-lymphatique" target="_blank" rel="noopener">botox</a> injections. .

Often carried out on the quiet, the evening takes place at the home of the organizers. An aesthetic doctor arrives with his equipment and comes to carry out the procedure.

As soon as the injections are done outside the office, the rules of hygiene are not strictly respected – which can lead to complications. According to Doctor Alexandre Koutsomanis &quot;it&#39;s a thorny subject. There is nothing professional about arriving with briefcases of products and coming to do your injections in a salon, between two social activities. You also have to think about the aftermath. If all goes well, everyone is happy and claims the phenomenon. But in the opposite case, we don&#39;t have the same story. The patients are dissatisfied while the practitioner may incur penalties!&quot;

Are Botox Parties legal?

To this question, Dr. Koutsomanis answers no. He does not in any way claim the practice, which is not carried out according to the rules of the art. With a smirk, he confides that he calls Botox Parties the cases where his patients come en masse to perform injections at his office. &quot;Sometimes I have a string of girlfriends who arrive, sometimes a dozen, who block me out for a whole hour to all give injections in a row. But be careful, it&#39;s all very professional! In this case, they come to the cabinet, I welcome them, we discuss, then they sign agreements and consents. Nothing is hidden or prohibited in this case. Everything is carried out according to the hygienic rules in measure, with seriousness, using products that are not doubtful. There is a setting. As they come in whole groups, we have fun thinking that this is their way of having their own Botox Party. But, in this specific case, it is not the phenomenon that &#39;one can know in the United States, which — him — has nothing professional or correct&quot;

What are the most requested botox trends?

As mentalities evolve, the clientele wants to be younger and younger. This is what Dr. Koutsomanis notices in his office. &quot;I face a lot of cases of prevention of aging, especially on the forehead. Frontal frown lines are the highest demand, by women around 30/35 years old… Sometimes even earlier! As a preventive cure , others correct the appearance of the first crow&#39;s feet at the outer corners of the eyes. Another growing phenomenon is that of the &#39;Foxy Eyes&#39; effect, which consists of slightly raising the tail of the eyebrow to open the gaze.&quot;

How long does botox last?

In general, the effects of botox will be visible over 6 months. &quot;We must demonize this ephemeral intervention, which does not really involve any risk - at the limit a small bruise which will disappear 48 to 72 hours after the injection -, now become very frequent. There is no contraindication to date for those looking to take the plunge, with the obvious exception of pregnant women, those who are breastfeeding or people with an allergy to the excipient - which is very rare&quot;, concludes Dr. Koutsomanis.
