A UK study finds widespread safety lapses in Botox treatments, sparking calls for stricter regulations.
A UK study of over 900 cosmetic Botox patients reveals widespread gaps in care, with many not receiving proper consent, risk information, or follow-up support despite Botox being a regulated drug.
Administered often by non-healthcare providers in unregulated beauty clinics, procedures frequently lack prescriber presence, written consent, or warnings about complications.
Only a quarter received post-treatment care, and most patients were unaware of the UK’s safety reporting system.
While satisfaction was high, short-term side effects were common, and rare long-term issues occurred.
Over 89% supported stricter regulations, prompting government consideration of mandatory licensing, training, and ethical standards to improve safety and oversight.
