Seven companies amended their advertising after MHRA took action on complaints in November to ensure that prescription-only medicines are not promoted to the public.
These companies were:
- Advanced Skin Lounge, Leeds
- Discrete Aesthetics, Leeds
- Sinlen Beauty Clinic, Sidcup
- Skin Doctor, Leeds
- Visage Surgical Aesthetics, Midlands
- Weston Cosmetic Clinic, Stoke-on-Trent
- Willow Spa, Burton on Trent
The list relates to specific advertising action taken on a particular date and is no endorsement of the ongoing practices of the clinic.
