28:01Now PlayingAn undercover investigation exposes Britain's 'Botox Wild West' - where cash comes first and safety comes last. BBC journalists, posing as beauticians, reveal a world where trusted medical professionals go rogue and rules are broken for financial gain.
A nurse sells prescriptions via direct messages, a pharmacist uses dangerous shortcuts, and a fake doctor is exposed selling illegal toxins from a car boot.
Patients, who have fallen victim to similar practices, reveal their ongoing suffering and life-threatening experiences. On the botox black market, trust is betrayed, and profit is placed above safety.
