Injectable Treatments: Botox & Filler Injections > Compare/Contrast in-home injections with "IV docs"

I have recently seen and heard of a number of "Uber-like" services for IVs for hangovers, flu, "wellness", etc — (theivdoc.com for example) — where a nurse shows up and administers fluids plus some added "packages" of vitamins or anti-nausea drugs, etc.

I'd love to hear thoughts on the ethics / legality of these type of services as compared to Botox parties or out-of-clinic medi-spa services. On the one hand, these services are administering drugs intravenously - arguably more "serious" of a medical procedure - on the other, it arguably requires less skill to hit a single vein than administering cosmetic injections (in other words, the differing environment could have a greater impact on the variability of the service performed).

Any thoughts on these mobile IV services vs botox parties?
