"Rising Concerns Over Hazardous IV Treatments at Unlicensed Med Spas"

The rapid growth of the med spa industry, now worth $15 billion, has led to increased reports of severe infections and adverse reactions due to unlicensed workers administering unauthorized treatments in unsanitary conditions. Bea Amma's case highlights the risks, as she suffered a drug-resistant infection after receiving over 100 injections at a med spa. The FDA has issued warnings about unapproved fat-dissolving shots being administered at these facilities. With little federal oversight, the industry's safety is in question, prompting calls for standardized regulations and greater consumer awareness about the qualifications of those providing treatments.
