Cosmetic procedures, whether surgical, or performed through the use of drugs, are often thought of as very safe. However, there are a number of risks associated with these procedures, including risks relating to the drugs used, the anesthesia used, and the type of facility and qualifications of the professionals involved.

MedSpa injuries and lawsuits continue to increase throughout the United States. MedSpa injuries often arise from botox and cosmetic laser procedures that are thought to be “safe” and “low risk” by those undergoing the procedures.
These procedures often take place in “high end” luxury spas. The spas themselves often are inviting and promote relaxation, comfort, and pampered treatment. In these surroundings, there is nothing to suggest that the treatment itself might be dangerous. Few of the places in which these treatments are given have the full range of medical equipment normally see in a doctor’s office in which similar treatments are administered.
