Sample Solution
There is a growing concern in the United States of unqualified individuals illegally injecting fillers and neurotoxins such as Botox into unwitting people. There seems to be easy access for unscrupulous people to attain imitation product on the internet as well. The simple reason that people risk doing [unlicensed cosmetic procedures] is greed. Greedy patients agree to let unlicensed persons or completely untrained persons inject them because they have been promised they will save a few dollars. Greedy physicians attempt to bypass the expense of using something approved and reliable in an attempt to widen their profit margin. In the hands of a well-trained professional, approved treatments and procedures pose no more danger to patients than other medical procedures.
