I have been getting Botox injections by set appointment at a Spa for a year (a DOCTOR administers the injections). My question is if I should tip him as any other Spa service (like a massage)? Before a relocation my injections were at a Doctor's office (so no tipping)—but am confused by what is customary at a Spa. Insight or links to advice would be perfect! Thanks.
Please no responses to debate the effcts of botox, blah-blah-blah...will report.
Additional Details:
For those that have answered my previous question, thanks, but the botox is administered by a DOCTOR (otherwise it's a- illegal and b-not safe). Basically he is a plastic surgeon (reputable) who does "clinics" once a month at a Spa for an hour or so. So this isn't a normal hourly employee, or low-pay deal. The procedure takes about 3 min (time for 11 quick pin-pricks) and cost $550. So tip or no? Would tipping a doctor be in bad form? I don't think he'd outwardly take offense (he's a nice guy)—but don't want to offend.
