According to this segment from ABC news and 20/20, chemical peels, 
botulinum toxin and cosmetic wrinkle fillers are being illegally purchased online – without a prescription or a visit to a physician.
20/20 documents some of the scary experiences of a few women who purchased cosmetic products from a Texas-based website and tried to use them.
The products purchased from “discount medspa” came in generic packaging and the contents remain somewhat mysterious. An employee of the site had been marketing the products by posting instructional videos on how to perform do-it-yourself cosmetic procedures.
While it seems like an obvious violation of common sense to attempt these things, stories like this continue to surface in the news. If you do any reading on RealSelf.com or on the websites of plastic surgeons, you’ll constantly be told to “see a board-certified plastic surgeon” for your treatment. It may seem redundant, but it appears that people still need to be reminded.
