Residents are called upon to be vigilant when buying boiling injections after unlawful products were recently found in facilities throughout the municipality where “Botox” are offered.
During the usual visits, commercial standards and environmental health officials have revealed cheap products that were introduced from abroad without English labeling or instructions.
Other injectable products were found that could not be identified due to insufficient labeling, with these data might put a very serious risk of customer injury, including permanent deformation and scarring.
All relevant data were seized by the Council Public Protection Group as a result, with businesses reminded of their legal responsibilities in management of Botox and filling by infusion for cosmetic purposes.
This follows relatively new legislation that prevents business from offering botox to children under 18 years of age.
According to national statistics, more than 900,000 Botox injections are carried out in the United Kingdom.
Tricia Ayrton, Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder for Climate Change and the Environment, said:
“Botox is a very popular cosmetic treatment that is often widely published to make you look younger. While there is no problem with the desire to look younger, it is really important to do your work in advance with these types of treatment – especially as our officers have found.
“You know who your recipient is and who will manage your treatment.
During the usual visits, commercial standards and environmental health officials have revealed cheap products that were introduced from abroad without English labeling or instructions.
Residents are also invited to check out what training and experience these businesses and what their insurance arrangements are to avoid further possible issues.
If you have recently decided to have a cosmetic process and you need to choose who will do it, the NHS provides useful guidance on what to check, including what to do before and after a consultation with what you need to avoid.
Botox, officially known as Botulinum toxin, is a product only with a recipe regulated by the Organization for Regulatory Drugs and Health (MHRA).
To use, customers must first take part in a face -to -face before maintenance with a Botox product prescription.
This is to ensure that the client’s medical history and suitability for treatment can be properly checked by the prescription, who should either be a doctor, dentist, nurse prescription or pharmacist prescription.
The person who gives injections does not need to be the same person who provided the recipe, but the recipe must ensure that the person who gives you the injections is trained and safe to do so.
