Body Beautiful Day & Med Spa in Phoenix announced it has earned Platinum Partner Status with Allergan, maker of Botox, Juvederm, and Latisse. This makes Body Beautiful Spa one of just 300 recognized Allergan Platinum Partners in the United States, an honor reserved for only the highest quality, highest volume spas.

This status is particularly impressive since Body Beautiful has only one location in the Biltmore area, compared to other spas that may inflate their numbers by grouping purchases among several spa locations.

“For our one Body Beautiful Spa location to be named just one of 300 in the United States to earn Allergan’s Platinum Partner status as is a significant accomplishment,” said Marlena Krueger, Executive Director of Body Beautiful Day & Med Spa. “The distinction also gives our clients confidence in our talented, experienced staff and that we only use authentic Allergan products and not knock-offs.”

According to the Wall Street Journal, in 2012 the FDA issued warnings to 350 medical practices that were purchasing potentially counterfeit Botox from a network of international wholesalers. Practices that illegally buy their Botox from international wholesalers do so because it costs them less. They are often told that it is the same product that is produced by Allergan, however it’s sometimes branded in a counterfeit box not produced by Allergan. Some Botox purchased from overseas distributors may not be Botox at all, and the product could have been exposed to temperatures that denature neurotoxins (Allergan always ships Botox in dry ice to keep it frozen).

The Platinum Partner status provides additional confidence to Body Beautiful Spa clients that the product they receive is 100% pure and from the manufacturer. It also provides additional confidence in the medical team at Body Beautiful Spa. By law, all Botox and Juvederm injections are administered by licensed, Board Certified medical professionals. Body Beautiful Spa’s tremendous Botox and Juvederm volume means that their medical team has tremendous experience and expertise.

Body Beautiful Spa Phoenix also participates with Allergan’s Brilliant Distinctions loyalty reward program. Collectively, Body Beautiful Spa customers save thousands of dollars on already great prices on Botox, Juvederm, Voluma, Latisse, and SkinMedica products.
