The largest survey of its kind has found alarming differences in the quality of care and advice given to individuals receiving cosmetic injections in the UK.
Published in Aesthetic Surgery Journal Open Forum, the study involved a survey of 919 adults from across the UK who had undergone botulinum toxin treatment, commonly referred to by the brand name Botox.
Amongst the findings are that 9% said they were not provided with a written consent form, while only 28% recalled receiving advice on how to manage potential side effects.
