Reputation of a cosmetologist: why you should avoid non-certified drugs

The issue of the cost of a cosmetic procedure significantly affects the disposition of patients to undergo it. This is especially true for complex solutions, when one session cannot be limited in any way, and the course of treatment turns out to be expensive. New brands and drugs regularly appear on the cosmetology market, among which the doctor chooses the most suitable one for his patient.

However, estet-portal.com warns that the low cost of a medical device may mean that it is counterfeit or uncertified. The use of such drugs can not only harm the reputation of the beautician, but also be dangerous to the health of the patient.

What is the danger of using non-certified cosmetic products

The huge flow of various injectables on the market is associated with the high popularity of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures. They do not require special training, are not too painful and are quite affordable. At the same time, the skin does not need a long subsequent recovery and pleases with the desired aesthetic result. Therefore, patients with great interest consider proposals for injection correction and, of course, are not averse to saving a little.

However, as a rule, they do not delve into the peculiarities of drugs, trusting their choice to their beautician. But it is unacceptable for a doctor to be careless about evaluating injectables only in terms of price, since low cost is usually associated with the fact that the drug is either counterfeit or uncertified.

No one is responsible for the quality of a non-original drug and no one will undertake to predict the consequences of its introduction.

The dangers of counterfeit drugs are usually associated with the fact that it is impossible to predict the conditions for their transportation. For many injectables, it is absolutely important to observe the temperature regime during transportation or other storage conditions. During official deliveries, the manufacturing company and its official representative receiving the goods have the appropriate certificates that they have all the technical capabilities to comply with the conditions for transporting drugs. Counterfeit goods are delivered without a guarantee of compliance with the rules, and therefore the injection of such a means – it is always a big risk for a doctor to lose patients and a reputation.

When using non-certified cosmetic products, the specialist should always remember:
•    in the event of the development of side effects from such a remedy, it is difficult to find adequate therapeutic measures;
•    for non-certified drugs, there are no protocols for post-procedural rehabilitation;
•    complications after their injection can be either immediate (inflammation) or delayed (contouring, migration, delayed resorption).

In order to be sure of the quality of the injectable drug purchased, you should always purchase it from an authorized representative.

How to distinguish original cosmetic products from non-certified ones

A high-quality and serious drug always has an official representative: for example, for drugs from the biopharmaceutical company Medytox – this is Emet™. It guarantees the originality of incoming drugs, compliance with the conditions of transportation and expiration dates.

The official representative is responsible for compliance with the conditions of storage and transportation of medicines.

The preparations of the official representative are certified on the territory of Ukraine, which is confirmed by a certificate of conformity of the established form. It states that this product meets all the requirements of Ukrainian regulations and standards. On the packaging of such a drug there is a national mark of conformity.

To protect against counterfeiting, the manufacturer Neuramis – biopharmaceutical company Medytox delivers all authentic products to Ukraine exclusively with a round hologram "Medytox original" on the packaging.

Distinguishing features of the original Neuramis:
1. Round hologram "Medytox original" on the drug package
2. Personal certificate of conformity, which is protected by a hologram «Medytox original».
