Botox Addiction Dr. Simon Ourian Offering a 12 Step Program
A British psychologist recently published a study titled Botox Addiction that shows four out of 10 people receiving regular botulinum toxin injections, known commercially as Botox, had a compulsive motive for doing it. Botox users can develop behavioral addictions to the treatments but do not become chemically dependent on the toxin, according to the findings. The study raised many eyebrows. Well, sort of.
Simon Ourian MD of Epione, a top US Botox authority who has one of the largest Botox practices in the world, said the study is nothing short of an irresponsible PR scheme, and the use of the word addiction downright bogus. Addiction is medically defined as a chronic disorder that is characterized by the repeated use of substances or behaviors despite clear evidence of morbidity secondary to such use. A quarterly use of Botox, as it was described in the study, absent any serious side effects hardly meets the criteria for diagnosis of addiction, says Dr. Ourian. A desire to look your best at all times is an inherent right of every individual. The findings have absolutely no connection to reality, said Ourian. High patient satisfaction following treatment is not the same thing as addiction, he continued.
Most of my patients come back to receive BOTOX or Restylane, or Radiesse treatments every few months because they want to maintain their youthful appearance. The treatments are effective, predictable, and in the hands of the right doctor very safe. The desire to look one'ss best is healthy, and a very integral part of the desire to live, says Ourian.
I suspect if this psychologist would have been born 30 years earlier they would conduct a study on the addictive behavior of people who visit their dentist twice a year, and enjoy a brighter smile, Ourian comments facetiously.
If we are to believe that botox is addictive a new industry is likely to be born, says Ourian, one that helps former Botox addicts go through a recovery program. Botoxoholist Anonymous-which deals with what they call the powerlessness to stop receiving Botox. You can almost hear the words Hi my name is Pam and I am a Botoxoholist.
