Anti wrinkle injections & dermal fillers

[pimmsandlemonade]

A good client of mine tells me that a lady in town who works from home doing teeth whitening is now advertising on Facebook that she is doing Botox & lip fillers
The lady in question has no medical background whatsoever
As far as I was aware you have to be a doctor, nurse or dentist? Am I wrong?
Thanks ladies

That sounds dodgy! I'm not entirely sure but I thought it's no longer possible for a therapist to do these treatments without a doctor/ nurse prescriber present/on site.

That's what I thought!

Personally if I wanted anything like that I'd be taking my time to find a reputable doctor/nurse/dentist!

I'd report this. It's not only illegal but very dangerous. People can get severe infections and a whole host of other risks. Clients aren't always aware of the legal requirements so won't know this is dodgy.

Is it the local council that I'd report it to?
Thanks

Yes they should be able to advise you. Good luck!

God! Don't know why ppl even attempt to stick fillers in someone's face with no medical training. Common sense says it could go wrong!!! Hopefully her clients are a bit savvy about it not being a good idea xxx
