The MHRA has issued updated safety warnings about iatrogenic botulism linked to botulinum toxin type A, against a backdrop of rising complaints about fake or unlicensed “Botox” being injected by non‑medical providers in unsafe settings. In this short video, Save Face Director Ashton Collins explains what botulinum toxin really is – a prescription only medicine, not a beauty product – why genuine UK‑licensed brands prescribed by qualified prescribers rarely cause serious systemic reactions, and how patterns in our complaint data strongly point to counterfeit or illicit toxin. She sets out the red flags patients should look for, and why choosing a Save Face accredited practitioner, whose qualifications, clinic and product sourcing are independently checked, is critical to staying safe.
