In a press release, Secretary of State Walter T. Mosley said that more than one-third of the 223 med spa businesses inspected have since been issued citations for varied safety and regulatory violations, including the unlawful practice of medicine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsumers need to be aware of the dangers when medical procedures, including cosmetic medical procedures, are being performed by individuals without an appropriate license,\u201d Mosley said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/dos.ny.gov\/news\/new-york-department-state-issues-warning-consumers-after-investigations-med-spa-service\">statement<\/a>. \u201cUnlicensed or unqualified staff, dirty needles, expired or counterfeit Botox and fillers, and unsanitary conditions can lead to serious injury or death.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mosley\u2019s assessment of the risk is not speculative. Outside of its inspections, the New York Department of State\u2019s Division of Licensing Services is pursuing criminal charges against multiple med spas. In one case, a woman was told that she would receive appearance-enhancing injections consisting of Botox, stem cells, and other compounds. Instead, she was given a cocktail of \u201cunknown substances\u201d that left her in serious pain. In another case, an unlicensed Warwick spa performed a series of procedures that resulted in a life-threatening bacterial infection accompanied by sepsis.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.calljed.com\/blog\/new-york-state-med-spa-violations\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading New York State Med Spa Violations\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Department of State recently concluded a state-wide investigation into the med spa industry.
