Know What’s in Your Syringe: Why Authentic Injectable Products Matter

In today’s world of aesthetic treatments, it’s easier than ever to find injectable services at med spas, clinics, and even pop-up parties—but that convenience comes with a serious warning: Not all injectable products are created equal, and not all providers use FDA-approved, non-diverted products from reputable sources.

If you’re investing in your face, your safety, and your confidence, it’s essential to ask one important question:

“Do you know what’s in your syringe?”

What Is a “Diverted” Product?

Diverted products are injectable fillers or neurotoxins (like Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, or Restylane) that are obtained outside the authorized supply chain—often from international sources, unauthorized third parties, or grey market suppliers.

These products may:

• Not be FDA-approved for use in the U.S.

• Be mislabeled or counterfeit

• Be stored or shipped improperly, affecting safety and efficacy

• Pose serious health risks including infections, allergic reactions, and unsatisfactory results

Why Manufacturer-Direct Products Matter

At trusted practices like Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center, all injectable products are purchased directly from the manufacturer or a verified, licensed distributor. This ensures:

• Authenticity and traceability

• Proper storage and handling (most products are temperature-sensitive)

• Access to full patient safety support from the manufacturer, if needed

• Confidence in predictable, high-quality results

Using approved products from known manufacturers also ensures your injector is trained in that specific product—because technique, dosing, and placement often vary from brand to brand.

How to Protect Yourself as a Patient

Here are a few red flags to watch out for:

• Prices that seem “too good to be true” (they usually are)

• Lack of transparency about the product being used

• No packaging shown or labeling that’s in a foreign language

• Providers unwilling to answer questions about sourcing

What You Can Ask Before Getting Injectables

✅ “Where do you purchase your injectable products?”
✅ “Are these FDA-approved and sourced directly from the manufacturer?”
✅ “Can I see the box or label before treatment?”
✅ “Are you a licensed medical professional trained in this product?”

A reputable provider will welcome your questions and walk you through the treatment plan using verified products that are safe, tested, and tailored to you.
