Worrying - another outbreak of Botulism in the UK and this one is close to home with 2 suspected cases in Leeds. The cost of cheap Botox isn’t worth the risk!!! It’s expensive for a reason, because it goes through so many processes and audit trails to ensure its safety!!
Never be afraid to ask about your practitioners credentials and which pharmacies they use to procure their prescriptions. Then do your research!!!! A good practitioner will have nothing to hide 🙏
⚠️SAFETY IN BEAUTY ALERT
Healthcare professionals in Leeds have reportedly identified suspected cases of botulism allegedly linked to Botox injections carried out at a clinic called Iconic Face in Leeds.
This is an evolving situation, but it serves as an important reminder to always choose qualified, insured, and medically trained practitioners for aesthetic treatments.
Please seek urgent medical advice if you experience symptoms such as:
• Difficulty swallowing
• Slurred speech
• Facial weakness
• Blurred or double vision
• Breathing difficulties
Your safety should always come before cost or convenience.
✔️ Check practitioner credentials
✔️ Ask about the products being used
✔️ Ensure treatments take place in safe clinical settings
✔️ Report concerns to relevant health authorities
Awareness saves lives. Please share responsibly and follow official public health guidance for updates.
