Just a quick announcement. I will add this to the FAQ.
In Australia it is not possible by law for a Doctor to endorse branded medical products. When asking for recommendations for Doctors who use specifically branded products like restylane, botox, radiesse please ask for the recommendation to be PM'ed (private messaged). This will save any potential conflict.
Otherwise you can refer to the procedure itself but not the product. Eg Anti-wrinkle therapy instead of Botox or Dysport or Dermal fillers in stead of juvederm.
As Doctors we are allowed to talk about products and talk about their benefits and risks but can't be "seen" to endorse them. Its a pretty gray area but this should keep us well above any possible controversy
