Israel's Ministry of Health has issued a warning regarding the potential illegal sale of stolen hyaluronic acid injections, commonly marketed as "youth injections." The ministry announced on Thursday, October 29, that several thousand packages of these injectable products were stolen approximately one month prior from the warehouses of companies "Alfamedix" and "Omegamedix Ltd."
The stolen products 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. The Ministry of Health is concerned that these stolen goods may be illicitly distributed to aesthetic medicine clinics, centers, and private practitioners across Israel.
Officials emphasized that these hyaluronic acid preparations require strictly controlled storage and transportation conditions. Following the theft, it is impossible to guarantee that these conditions were maintained, thus compromising the safety and efficacy of the injections. The ministry stressed that using products obtained from unauthorized sources, without proper oversight or adherence to application instructions, poses significant health risks.
Healthcare professionals are urged to procure these aesthetic products exclusively from official suppliers. Patients are advised to ensure that any procedures they undergo utilize products from legitimate and regulated sources. Individuals who suspect illegal sales of these injections, encounter products of unknown origin, or experience adverse effects after treatment are instructed to report such incidents to the Ministry of Health's information center, "Kol HaBriut," at phone number *5400.
