A beauty beauty beautician left a woman fighting for her life and many others seriously ill in the hospital, after injections with toxpia, an illegal botox-type anti-routine treatment. As the BBC named the woman behind Jabs, her two victims share their stories.
Kayley Bailey’s patch on the left eye is a daily reminder when her beauty treatment killed her.
The 36-year-old Mam-off-Three of County Durham had paid Jemma Gray £ 75 for three “Botox” injections, it turned out to be very good to be true-half-half of its cost on the previous journey.
Within days, Ms. Belly was struggling to see.
Doctors at Sunderland Royal Hospital were initially surprised and diagnosed with peatosis, which was an eye condition, which featured the upper eyelid’s dropping, and asked him to go home to relax.
The hospital’s trust said that when Ms. Bailey was discharged, she was advised that if her condition deteriorated, and she was explained that her symptoms were probably related to the treatment that she had.
It states that botulinum poisoning was a very rare position “not seen by the majority of doctors during his career”.
But when her condition deteriorated in the next days, Ms. Bailey returned to the hospital, where this time she was told that she was told by botulism, a rare but life-threatening situation due to a bacterium.
By that time, she was one of the 28 people, who was detected to poison in North-East England, which was after the anti-Jabs.
Ms. Bailey stopped breathing and required a revival.
He spent three days on intensive care unit and was treated with an anti -toxin.
“I remember I was lying in bed ‘I am dying here and I don’t want”, “Ms. Bailey says, crying that she remembers her experience.
On her release, and now her eyes are required to wear the eye patches until she is heal, she contacted Mrs. Gray and told her that it was “a nationwide problem with the product”.
“When i went in [to her appointment for the anti-wrinkle jabs],
“I can’t believe that she dare to do this with people.
“She did not even know what was in it and what we are doing to us, we have to live with it.
“I am almost dead because of this.”
Paula Harrison suffered a similar fate when she visited Mrs. Gray at a salon in Blackhall, CO Durham in late May.
The 54-year-old mother-in-law-to-to-to-the practitioner had a lip-filler process, but this time decided what she thinks was Botox and under-i filler.
A few days later, she also became unwell and also went to Sunderland Royal Hospital, where she was admitted and spent four days, receiving an anti -toxin as part of her treatment.
BBC is Earlier it was reported how hospitals in the area had run out of their own shares of anti-toxin. And unusually high number of patients required to source it from hospitals across the country that were introduced with symptoms of botulism.
Mrs. Harrison said that her throat was closing and she was unable to eat.
,[Mrs Gray is] Playing with people’s lives, “Mrs. Harrison says.” Fortunately, I am all right, but I could have died. ,
Mrs. Gray, earlier known as Jemma Brown, operates her business Belisimo aesthetics, which is not associated with her home near Bishop Auckland and in a salon in Blackhall, any other business of the same name.
He administered an illegal type of botulinum toxin, which was a component used in many patients used in legal botox-type products.
There are seven licensed products for use in Britain, including brand botoxy which are most known.
Mrs. Gray has used a product of South Korea, which has used a product of drugs and healthcare product regulatory agency, says that it is not licensed for use in the UK and which is a crime for selling or supply.
He told customers that it was a “new type of botox” and was charged between £ 75 and £ 100 for three areas of treatment.
The BBC tried to contact him to ask him about his participation, but he said he was not interested in speaking.
The BBC is naming Mrs. Gray after talking to many of her customers.
It is considered another beauty businessman who is a commercial ally of Mrs. Gray, bought toxpia from them and gave it to her customers, many of whom became ill.
‘Consider health effects’
Mrs. Gray has told the customers how sorry she is what happened and described how bad she feels that she became ill. She told Mrs. Harrison that it was a “new treatment on trial” and she was destroyed.
He also indicated that it was a “nationwide” problem with the product and said that people became ill everywhere after using it.
The BBC has not seen any evidence to support this claim.
Mrs. Gray advertised her business as being “fully trained and insured”.
An investigation is on with the UK’s Health Protection Agency.
The agency has issued guidance to anyone who wants to do this type of treatment, recommends research on its businessman and ensures that the product given to them is a legal medicine and licensed for use in UK.
The Department of Health and Social Care said that people’s lives were being put at risk by “insufficiently trained operators in the cosmetic sector” and the government was looking into new rules.
“We urge anyone to consider cosmetic procedures to consider possible health effects and find a respected, insured and qualified businessman.”
