A California dermatologist was recently slapped for using “black market Botox” – he was reprimanded for injecting non-FDA approved botulinum toxin into ten of his patients.
In an effort to save some money, he and a hundred or so of his colleagues purchased the black market Botox at medical conventions without realizing it wasn’t approved for use in patients.
