In recent news, counterfeit Botox has sent patients to the hospital—and left others with permanent damage. Choosing the right provider isn’t just about looks—it’s about safety.

What’s Happening: The Rise of Fake or Illegal Botox

• Summarize recent FDA warnings (2024-2025) about counterfeit Botox vials circulating in med spas.
• Share a brief example/case (no names, just the fact that it’s happening even in reputable-looking spas).
• Note the danger: blurred vision, muscle paralysis, poor aesthetic outcomes, and infection risk.

Why Licensing and Credentials Matter

• Explain the difference between:
• Licensed Nurse Practitioners (NPs) and RNs
• Med spa techs or unlicensed individuals operating illegally
• Talk about how NPs like yourself are trained in:
• Anatomy
• Emergency protocols (e.g., managing vascular occlusion)
• Pharmaceutical safety
• Infection control

How to Spot a Legitimate, Licensed Provider

• Look for:
• State board licensure
• National certification
• Real medical-grade products sourced from approved distributors (e.g., Allergan, Galderma)
• Mention red flags like:
• Prices that are “too good to be true”
• No medical consultation
• No signage or license display
