after selling counterfeit Botox to undercover law enforcement. Surely, there are plenty more cases out there like this., a board-certified dermatologist who has an expertise in cosmetic procedures, what she thought about the booming med spa industry and what, if any, regulatory changes she wanted to see.I do think the fact that people can just go to a 1- or 2-day injection course and inject filler and Botox is concerning.
I see complications from med spas all the time, and I think it's people going to injectors who are not skilled. They don't know their anatomy, they don't know the appropriate filler to use, and then heaven forbid there is a complication, they don't know how to manage the complication — and then those patients get sent to me.
Let's be real. The cosmetic injection side hustle is alive and well, but I'm good. I'm not going there. Maybe there should be some more quality control. At Botox parties, do people even ask if their injectors are certified or where they bought their vials?
