A research suggests that men are putting their health at risk by allowing unqualified friends and dodgy practitioners to give them the muscle-freezing jab.


The study of 2,000 adults, conducted by Transform Cosmetic Surgery, found that of male patients who've undergone surgeries like dermal fillers and chemical peels, about 25 per cent said that their untrained pals gave them Botox injections, compared to just about ten per cent women, Daily Star reported.

Despite Botox being toxic, one in six admitted to having been treated by a third party, like hairdresser.
