Aesthetic distributor DermaFocus has reported a rise in the number of unauthorised online shops and pharmacies selling the Plinest range of polynucleotides.
As the UK’s exclusive distributor of Plinest by Mastelli, the company has warned that products which are not bought directly from them or their approved partners are at risk of safety concerns. The approved partners are: ACRE Pharmacy, Church Pharmacy, Healthxchange Pharmacy, John Bannon Pharmacy, MedivaPharm, Millennium Pharmacy, Wigmore Medical and YouCan Pharmacy.
DermaFocus complies with the Good Distribution Practice (GDP) standards which ensures Mastelli ships products to the DermaFocus pharmaceutical-grade warehouse, guaranteeing sterile conditions, proper ventilation, temperature control and security. Products are checked, stored with batch numbers and shipped to sub-distributors in compliant vehicles, the company explains.
Co-founder and executive director at DermaFocus, Milad Bemana, said, “We urge all practitioners to buy Plinest via DermaFocus or one of our approved partners. If you have any concerns about products bought elsewhere, please get in touch so we can investigate, report to trading standards and work towards putting an end to this risky practice.”
