What happened

  1. 01The Ministry of Health warned on Thursday, 29 October 2026, that thousands of stolen hyaluronic acid filler packages are being sold illegally on Israel's black market.
  2. 02The theft occurred in late September 2026 from the warehouses of AlphaMedix and Omegamedix Ltd.
  3. 03Stolen products include Radiessp and various Stylage formulations, such as Stylage Special Lips Lido, Stylage XL Lido, and Stylage XXL Mepi.
  4. 04The ministry warned that compromised storage and transport conditions for the stolen fillers pose severe health risks, including infections and tissue damage.
  5. 05Aesthetic medicine professionals are urged to purchase injection materials exclusively from licensed suppliers.
  6. 06Patients are advised to verify that their treatments use regulated and supervised products from authorized sources.
  7. 07According to Makor Rishon, the Ministry of Health was criticized for a month-long delay in issuing the warning and for not releasing batch numbers.

The theft occurred in late September 2026 from the warehouses of AlphaMedix and Omegamedix Ltd. (also referred to as OmniMediX). The stolen items include popular aesthetic brands such as Radiessp (also referred to as Radiesse) and various Stylage formulations, including Stylage Special Lips Lido, Stylage XL Lido, Stylage L, Stylage M Lido, Stylage L Lido, and Stylage XXL Mepi.

Because these medical injectables require strict, controlled storage and transportation conditions, including consistent low temperatures, the ministry warned that their safety, quality, and efficacy can no longer be guaranteed. Using compromised substances from unauthorized sources poses significant health risks, including severe medical complications, infections, and irreversible damage to facial tissues.

The Ministry of Health urged aesthetic medicine professionals to purchase products exclusively from licensed suppliers and advised patients to verify that only legally sourced, regulated materials are used in their treatments. According to Makor Rishon, the ministry faced criticism for a month-long delay in issuing the warning and for failing to provide batch numbers to help identify the stolen items.
