Doctors who prescribe cosmetic treatment say it is common practice to spell out the possible side effects and risks before administering it. They also say they assess patients to see if it is suitable for them.
The issue of such treatments has come under the spotlight after 32-year-old property agent Lau Li Ting fell into a coma while at a clinic for Botox treatment on March 8. She died five days later.
