“Often, they require payment in cash”

“It is entirely possible, today, to open an account on Instagram without being a cosmetic surgeon or even a doctor, and to offer injections of hyaluronic acid and botox“continues Adel Louafiadding that“we have seen dozens or even hundreds of illegal injectors multiplying like this”. Referring to the signs which should alert one when one wishes to resort to such injections, he indicates that these people “are never listed at the level of the council of the Order of Physicians or in the santé.fr directory, they often have a changing address, no landline number and, often, they require payment in cash”.
