Scottsdale Surgeon Selected to Educate Physicians and Patients in BOTOX® Cosmetic Safety in Wake of Florida Botulinum Toxin Scare

Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) July 22, 2005

Allergan, the company that makes BOTOX® Cosmetic, has accepted Dr. William Hall of Scottsdale, AZ, as a member of their National Educational Facility (NEF) in order to help promote best BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment practices and ensure ongoing patient safety. Dr. Hall himself has performed thousands of BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments and has received training from several pioneers in the field of Cosmetic Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery.

“The incident in Florida highlights the needs for more education among both patients and practitioners,” says Dr. Hall. “The patients who became ill in that case were given massive doses of an unregulated, unlicensed and unapproved bulk botulinum toxin. As a National Education Facility, I can help more patients understand that BOTOX® Cosmetic, sold by Allergan, is the only approved botulinum toxin type A injectable in the United States, and I can help more practitioners learn the treatment regimen that will deliver optimal results and patient safety. Patients should have the peace of mind of knowing that their doctor is adequately trained and using the correct product.”

BOTOX® Cosmetic was developed by Allergan and softens facial wrinkles caused by repetitive motions, such as smiling, squinting, frowning or other facial expressions. Called “dynamic wrinkles,” these lines are often found between the eyebrows, across the forehead and at the corner of the eyes. BOTOX® Cosmetic temporarily relaxes the muscles so that the wrinkles smooth out, leaving the patient looking younger and more relaxed. Results typically last three to six months.

Dr. Hall founded Infini Cosmetic Associates (http://www.infiniskin.com) to provide the safest, most contemporary, and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures to the residents of the Southwest. His initial training began in general practice which made him well grounded in the medical and emergent care of his patients. Now Dr. Hall’s practice focuses on cosmetic liposculpture and BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments and he participates in ongoing training including personal instruction from several pioneers in the field of Cosmetic Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery. Dr. Hall is affiliated with American Medical Association; American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery; American Society of Lipo-Suction Surgery; American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery; American Society of Cosmetic Dermatology and Aesthetic Surgery; and American College of Phlebology.
