If you live in Brazil and make less than $250, perhaps you're wishing you could get Botox injections. Well you're in luck! The [Brazilian Society of Esthetic Medicine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gente-body-care) is offering free Botox injections and other beauty treatments.

Sure the work is done by students, but free is free, right? Student docs get some training, so it's not totally unprofessional.

Laser hair removal, acne treatments, chemical peels and lessons on nutrition are also part of the program.
