A “Botox party” is really a slang expression for when a variety of patients get together, either in a doctor's office or in an informal setting, and all get Botox injections together. The reason that Botox parties have gotten a negative response is because many times there was alcohol served, and what is considered a medical procedure was really treated in an informal manner. There's nothing wrong with having a Botox party, but the members of the Botox party should always remember that it is, in fact, a medical procedure that requires an informed consent. Having a couple of beers before a medical procedure is never a good idea.
