In this episode, host Dr. Kate Dee discusses two significant legal cases in Oklahoma's med spa industry with journalist Jazz Wolfe. The first case involves Kay Sanders, a nurse who illegally imported Botox from Canada and practiced without proper medical supervision. The second case concerns Dr. Darter, whose lack of oversight at Pure Derma Med Spa led to severe patient injuries. Both cases highlight the importance of verifying medical licenses and the legitimacy of practices to ensure safe and legal aesthetic treatments.
