Israel's Ministry of Health has issued a public warning regarding the purchase and use of hyaluronic acid injection products, following the theft of thousands of packages from the warehouses of AlphaMedix and Omegamedix Ltd. approximately one month ago. The stolen items include specific brands such as Radiessp, Stylage Special Lips Lido, Stylage XL Lido, Stylage L, Stylage M Lido, Stylage L Lido, and Stylage XXL Mepi.
There is concern that these stolen products are being illegally marketed within Israel to clinics, aesthetic treatment centers, and private physicians. The ministry emphasizes that these products require controlled storage and transportation conditions, which cannot be guaranteed after their theft. Using injection materials acquired from unauthorized sources, without supervision, and contrary to usage instructions poses a significant health risk.
The Ministry urges professionals in the aesthetic medicine field to purchase products exclusively from authorized suppliers. Patients are advised to ensure that treatments are performed using products from regulated and supervised sources. Individuals who suspect the marketing of these products, encounter items of unknown origin, or experience adverse effects after their use should report it to the "Kol HaBriut" hotline at *5400.
