4T Medical issues statement in response to use of logo in BBC documentary
Medical aesthetic product supplier and training provider 4T Medical has issued a statement in response to the appearance of its logo in BBC 3 documentary Under the Skin: The Botched Beauty Business, which aired yesterday (24 June).
In the documentary, which investigates unaccredited and sub-standard aesthetic treatment training courses as well as treatment complications, the 4T Medical logo appears on the slides presented by a trainer from Boss Babes Uni during an online microneedling course.
4T Medical stated: “Boss Babes Uni are not associated in any way with 4T Medical, and we have never supplied them with our microneedling course presentation which is proprietary to 4T Medical trainers and our approved training providers only.
“We would also like to state that we would never advocate an online course for microneedling. We categorically believe that all microneedling courses require hands-on, face-to-face, practical experience.
“Furthermore, this course should only be undertaken by those with an NVQ Level 3 in Beauty or equivalent. We are investigating how Boss Babes Uni acquired our presentation and are in talks with our legal team to take further action.”
