Free BOTOX? Move to Brazil…

In the latest news, apparently the Brazilian Society of Esthetic Medicine has decided to offer its poorest countrymen (and women) complimentary laser hair removal, chemical skin peels, treatment of varicose veins, and BOTOX® Cosmetic. Started in 1998, the program was reportedly designed to give young doctors experience in these aesthetic techniques with each patient undergoing a rigorous pre-treatment medical and economic evaluation.

But before you decide to hop a plane to Rio de Janeiro, keep in mind that the program is limited to those persons making less than $250/year.  And so if you can actually afford a ticket, you are probably too well off to afford the program.
