Arte: The rise of 'tweakments' How Botox has hit the mainstream

The article discusses the growing trend of unregulated Botox treatments in Europe, including black-market clinics and DIY injections, which pose serious health risks such as facial disfigurement or even death. It raises concerns about the lack of regulation in this sector and questions what measures are being taken to address the issue.

A boom in black market Botox cllincs and DIY injections are putting people's health at risk across Europe. But unregulated clinics or ordering DIY chemicals online can lead to more than just a botched beauty job – you can risk facial disfigurement, or, in the worst cases, it can be fatal. So what’s being done to regulate the sector?
