Supreme Court has ordered a Coquitlam man to stop injecting Botox — and refrain from calling himself a doctor. The order states that Asgari cannot administer or give advice regarding botulinum toxin (Botox) injections because he is not registered with the college, which certifies medical practitioners in B.C. Unlicensed practitionerIn B.C., only doctors, dentists, some naturopaths and registered and licensed practical nurses are permitted to perform Botox injections or consult about the risks and benefits of Botox. When contacted by CBC News in January, Asgari denied giving Botox injections and instead said his wife, Dr. Mitra Motamedi, performed the procedures. Documents submitted to the court stated that during an in-person appointment, Asgari told investigator Amy Dallison he would do the injection and gave her a consultation about what to expect.
