FDA Warning Letter Shut Down Med Spas Overnight (What They Found)

Beskrivelse

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.

This Skin Tightening Device SKIPPED Human Trials (It's in Med Spas) ft. Dr. Corinne Erickson - Dermatologist | EP 101

What if the skin-tightening device your med spa is pushing on you has zero human safety data? Not outdated data. Not limited data. Zero. That's the reality behind one of the most hyped devices in aesthetics right now, and Dr. Kate Dee isn't staying quiet about it. Dr. Kate Dee sits down with Dr. Corrine Erickson, a board-certified dermatologist and owner of Georgia Skin Specialists in Atlanta, to cut through the noise on non-invasive skin tightening. These treatments are everywhere right now, and so is the misinformation. They name the devices that had good ideas but poor execution, including some that are still being sold today. Then they break down what the newer generation of RF technology actually does, how it works, and why the science behind it matters more than the marketing. Dr. Erickson chose her device based on published clinical data, head-to-head studies, and real-world outcomes. Not Instagram hype. Actual evidence. Meanwhile, Dr. Dee raises serious questions about one device flying off shelves right now whose only published safety study was done on two-to-three-month-old pigs. That device is being sold in med spas across the country right now. Maybe even yours.
