💉 Do you know your anti wrinkle products are prescription only medicines (POM)?
💉 It is ILLEGAL to advertise these products.
💉 It is ILLEGAL to offer ‘deals’ for these products.
💉 If your consultation is not carried out by a healthcare professional who is a prescriber then there is no access from pharmacies to regulated POM products so….what is it you are getting injected??
Ask to:
- see your prescriber
- see their qualifications
- see your prescriptions
- see your products
- see their insurance
❤️ There are plenty of ethical, highly experienced healthcare professional prescribers working in local HIS regulated clinics! Don’t take the risk.
✅ New regulation in force in Scotland, Botox and other botulinum toxins are regulated as prescription-only medicines, meaning they can only be prescribed by a registered healthcare professional who is a prescriber. These prescriptions require a face-to-face consultation before the medication can be administered. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has updated its position to require face-to-face consultations for all non-surgical cosmetic medicines, including Botox, from June 1, 2025.
Botox is categorized as a prescription-only medicine, meaning it requires a prescription from a qualified healthcare professional before it can be administered.
