Israel's Ministry of Health has issued a public warning regarding the purchase and use of injectable products containing hyaluronic acid, following a large-scale theft of thousands of packages from the warehouses of "AlphaMedix" and "Omegamedix Ltd." approximately one month ago. The ministry expressed serious concern that these stolen products are now being illegally distributed and marketed across the country to clinics, aesthetic treatment centers, and private physicians. Products of this nature require strict, controlled storage and transportation conditions, which cannot be guaranteed after the theft, potentially compromising their quality and effectiveness. The stolen items include the product Radiessp and several products from the Stylage series, such as Stylage Special Lips Lido, Stylage XL Lido, Stylage L, Stylage M Lido, Stylage L, Stylage XXL Mepi. The Ministry of Health emphasized that using injectable materials acquired from unauthorized sources, without supervision and contrary to guidelines, poses a significant health risk to patients. Consequently, physicians and practitioners in aesthetic medicine are urged to procure materials exclusively from authorized suppliers. Patients are also advised to verify that the substances injected into them originate from regulated and supervised sources.
