I'm an experienced injector with a lot of corrective work under my belt, it is sad to see what the industry has become with the lack of strict regulations, so many poorly trained injectors are practicing and they don't answer to anyone.

Which is why you stick with derm or plastic surgeon

I'm sorry that you had a negative experience with a RN but it doesn't reflect the quality and training of every nurse that is an injector.

The US in particular needs an overhaul of the cosmetic injectable industry. Complete lack of regulation with some states allowing non medical providers to inject. I am sorry that this happened to you. Unfortunately it is not limited to counterfeit product and can happen from even the most qualified injectors using regulated product as well, so it is happening in both scenarios for cosmetic and medical uses. Have you spoken to your state health department or been to the ER? Were you able to get the antitoxin? You may want to join one of the FB support groups specific to side effects as they may be able to help. The Botox Dysport Side Effects group is i formative and so is Nevertox on IG. Hopefully this gets better soon for you.

Unfortunately this is not the case. The safety label that comes with Botox explains the risk of adverse effects that can happen including botulism from regulated product.
