About this listen
In this episode of Behind the Syringe on Honey Radio, Dr. Honey and Michelly get real about the rise of fake med spas and unlicensed injectors in Laredo, Texas. They break down who is legally allowed to inject in Texas, why Botox, filler and weight-loss shots are prescription medications (not beauty-school services), and how shady operators smuggle products from Mexico or buy on the black market. They also explain how to verify if your injector is registered with brands like Botox and Restylane, what protocols a real med spa in Laredo should have in place, and why it matters in an emergency.
The episode highlights Operation Beauty in the Needles, a new Laredo Police Department compliance effort targeting unlicensed cosmetic injections, illegal drug distribution and unsafe “garage” injectors. If you live in Laredo or the South Texas border region and are thinking about lips, Botox or fillers, this is your guide to spotting red flags, knowing your injector and choosing a legitimate medical practice that can actually keep you safe.
