Why It’s Vital to Choose a Qualified Medical Prescriber for Botox and Aesthetic Treatments?
At Sidley Pharmacy, we understand the growing interest in aesthetic treatments such as anti-wrinkle treatments. However, recent national headlines remind us just how important it is to choose a properly trained, medically qualified professional, such as an Independent Prescribing Pharmacist, for any cosmetic procedure.
The Devastating Impact of Illegal Botox Treatments!
The tragic case of Kaylie Bailey, recently reported by the BBC, has shocked and saddened many. Kaylie, a 36-year-old mother-of-three, was hospitalised in intensive care and left with ongoing health issues after receiving an illegal anti-wrinkle treatment. She, along with nearly 30 other patients, developed botulism, a rare but life-threatening condition, after being injected with a product called Toxpia, an unlicensed substance not approved for use in the UK.
Administered by a non-medical beautician operating without the appropriate regulatory oversight, this treatment led to multiple hospital admissions, depleted national antitoxin reserves, and sadly, permanent damage for some patients.
Why Choose an Independent Prescribing Pharmacist?
At Sidley Pharmacy My Aesthetics Clinic, our aesthetics services are delivered only by qualified healthcare professionals, specifically, Independent Prescribing Pharmacists with years of clinical training and regulatory accountability.
Here’s why that matters:
✅ We Only Use MHRA-Licensed Medicines
Every product we use, including anti-wrinkle treatments, comes from regulated UK suppliers and is licensed by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). No grey imports. No fakes. No shortcuts.
✅ Full Clinical Assessment & Prescribing Rights
As prescribing pharmacists, we don’t need to rely on third parties to supply or prescribe treatment. We take full clinical responsibility for your care—from initial assessment to administration and aftercare. This dramatically reduces your risk and ensures the treatment is appropriate for you.
✅ Safe Medical Setting with Emergency Protocols
Treatments at Sidley Pharmacy are carried out in a clean, controlled clinical environment, not a back room or home salon. We are trained to manage complications and emergencies if they ever arise.
✅ Accountable, Insured and Regulated
Unlike unlicensed beauticians, we are regulated by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and carry medical indemnity insurance. If something goes wrong, you're not left chasing someone on social media, we’re here, professionally accountable, and always on your side.
Don’t Risk Your Health for a Bargain!
Kaylie Bailey paid just £75 for what she thought was a routine Botox treatment. That “bargain” nearly cost her life.
When it comes to your health, face, and future, don’t take risks with unregulated practitioners or “cheap deals.” Aesthetic treatments involve prescription-only medicines and must be carried out by trained professionals.
