Two young women have died in recent months after receiving cosmetic injections performed illegally. The most recent tragedy occurred on July 27 in Nice, where a patient died after receiving a Botox injection at an unlicensed clinic. These fatal accidents have prompted 5,000 doctors to sign an open letter addressed directly to the Minister of Health, demanding firm action against these practices, which are proliferating outside of any medical framework.
A mobilization of the medical community
The union of private practice physicians and the circle of best practices in aesthetic medicine have called on the Minister to address the issue of clandestine Botox clinics without delay. The signatories denounce the increasing number of procedures performed by individuals lacking any medical qualifications, who offer low-cost injections without any health guarantees. The practitioners are demanding stricter penalties for these illegal activities, which endanger patients' lives.
This unprecedented mobilization of the medical community comes as accidents continue to occur despite regular warnings from health authorities. The profession now expects concrete measures to put an end to a parallel market that thrives on social media and in undeclared locations.
