When I look in the mirror I would love to get something or other done, an injection here, a bit of filler there, I probably wouldn’t know when to stop!! This case highlights the need for stricter regulations regarding aesthetic treatments. Please always check the credentials of the person you are receiving treatment from, the product they are using and even go as far as requesting proof of their qualifications & insurance. Better to be safe than sorry.
⚖️ LISBURN BEAUTICIAN FACES 14 CHARGES OVER UNLAWFUL SUPPLY OF MEDICINES & GABAPENTIN
A Lisburn beautician faces a fine and up to two years in prison after she was charged with having medicinal products and a Class C drug for supply.
In total, Nadine Poole faces 14 offences and Lisburn Magistrates Court heard the maximum sentence, “is a fine and two years in prison.”
Although the 38-year-old did not attend court on Tuesday, papers lodged with the court accuse her of a total of 14 offences, alleged to have been committed on 28 January this year.
Poole, whose address is listed as Doll House Beauty, Whitehall Lodge in Lisburn, faces 11 charges of having medicinal products for sale without authority, two of possessing medicinal products with intent to supply and the single charge of possessing gabapentin with intent to supply.
The particulars of the charges disclose that Poole had dermal fillers, “skinny jab Semaglutide,” B12 injections and materials used to dissolve dermal fillers.
Defence counsel asked for the case to be adjourned for two weeks, “to take instructions” but District Judge Rosie Watters said there was no Departmental court in two weeks
Instead, she adjourned the case to 16 December.
The alleged offences come just five months after Poole was fined £600 for similar offending.
In August last year, she entered guilty pleas to two charges of advertising prescription only medicines and four charges of having unauthorised medicinal products for sale, committed on dates between 27 September and 29 November 2023
The beautician and former Miss Swimsuit USA contestant, admitted having unauthorised medicines for sale including medotoxin, which is a type of Botox, Bacteriostaticsodium chloride, which is a liquid used in injections, Lipase which is used to correct mistakes when injecting botox and lidocaine, a commonly used local anaesthetic.
A prosecuting lawyer told the court the drugs seized had to be prescribed by a doctor and once they have been, they can be injected “under the specific directions” of the medic who prescribed them.
She added however that the botox or fillers to be injected have to be licensed in the UK but that many of the items seized from Poole were not so licensed, adding that “some of the bottles seized were not even written in English”
At that time, the court was told Doll House Beauty had ceased operating and that Poole was instead, claiming universal credit.
“She has found this [court proceedings] acutely distressing and her mental health has been impacted,” Poole’s lawyer told the court last year.
