FDA Warning Letter Shut Down Med Spas Overnight (What They Found) | EP 96
About this episode
How do you REALLY know if that's Botox?
Hear what the FDA uncovered when they investigated Pure Indulgence Aesthetics, a med spa with a clean website, a doctor's name on the homepage, and a Groupon running for less than $8 a unit.
Patients were lining up and reviews were good, but when investigators checked the dumpster, the unmarked vials were a substance that had to be sent to a lab just to identify.
Dr. Kate Dee was sitting in a room in Las Vegas when an FDA official described details of this case that have not been reported anywhere. She's bringing every bit of it to you, because what happened at Pure Indulgence Aesthetics in Texas and California is not an isolated incident.
IT'S A WARNING.
The medical director's name was on the website. The nurse managing the supply chain had a federal guilty plea in her past for a crime you will be shocked to find out.
Here's what should scare you, the patients who kept coming back thought it was working.
If you've ever booked a Botox appointment, passed along a recommendation, or assumed a licensed-looking clinic is a safe one, you need to hear what Dr. Dee found out before your next treatment, and before someone you love books one too.
Press play and learn how to find out what was really in that syringe.
