Choose your practitioners wisely!

Too many people I speak to have no idea what products are used in their faces and haven’t been seen by a face to face prescriber

⚠️ Safety Alert: Iatrogenic Botulism Linked to Botulinum Toxin Injections

A number of cases of botulism have been reported in the UK following botulinum toxin injections. While rare, this condition can lead to serious complications including neurological symptoms and, in severe cases, respiratory compromise.

Key points for practitioners:
• Symptoms may appear up to 17 days post-treatment
• Signs include ptosis, double vision, slurred speech, swallowing difficulty, and muscle weakness
• Risk factors include unlicensed products, incorrect dilution, and systemic absorption
• Prompt recognition and early antitoxin treatment (within 48–96 hours) is critical

The full BAMAN briefing note has been emailed directly to members’ inboxes.

We thank the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) for contacting BAMAN directly to share this important information.

BAMAN will continue to update members with any further developments and safety communications as they arise.

Please remain vigilant and report any adverse events via the Yellow Card Scheme.

Wow - Botched Botox on This Morning

Poorly for a month - poisoned by anti wrinkle injections.

Botulism - having to be injected by anti toxin at hospital, because some practitioners are using fake products (toxpia-not licensed in the uk) and buying from out of the uk

Be careful who you choose as your practitioner!

Remember you should always be seen face 2 face by a prescriber

🧠 “Not all lumps are normal.”

Let’s be clear — lumps after dermal filler are not always normal.

👄 Some areas (like the lips) may swell and feel uneven for a few days — that’s expected.

But a firm lump on your jawline, cheeks, or chin should always be reviewed. It could be:
• Filler placed too superficially
• Product migration
• A reaction or early sign of infection

At Afterglow Aesthetics by JW, you’re not left to figure it out alone.

✅ You’ll get full aftercare
✅ Quick response to concerns
✅ No “it’s just normal.”

From 1st June 2025, the NMC has prohibited all remote prescribing for cosmetic procedures. All prescribing must now be based on a face-to-face assessment—no telephone, video, or other remote consultations are allowed.

BAMAN and JCCP have issued a joint advisory notice with key guidance to help practitioners comply with this change. This includes details on accountability, competence, and the requirements for prescribing and delegation.

➡️ If you are involved in prescribing or administering cosmetic treatments, we recommend reviewing this guidance to ensure compliance and patient safety.
