Four companies amended their advertising following MHRA action on complaints to ensure that prescription only medicines are not promoted to the public. These companies are:
- Jennifer Smith Aesthetics, Seaham
- Ooh La La Hair and Beauty Salon, Surrey
- Sarah Badger Aesthetics, Romford
- Tallent Medical, Ipswich
The list relates to specific advertising action taken on a particular date and is no endorsement of the ongoing practices of the clinic.
