Instagram barred a former reality TV contestant from advertising Botox treatments, which require a doctor’s prescription.<\/p><\/div>\n

A former reality TV contestant was banned from posting advertisements for Botox treatments on Instagram because the posts promoted a medicine that could only be obtained with a doctor’s prescription, used so-called “celebrity” endorsements, and did not make it clear that the posts were paid advertisements.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the month of June, a car dealer who had previously been engaged to former glamour model Katie Price posted six Instagram stories advertising a facial aesthetic clinic.<\/span><\/p>\n

They showed a car dealer reclining on a treatment chair in a salon while he was being injected with a syringe, and he said something to the effect of, “You’re going to make me look brand new, yeah?” Some showed him getting an injection in the middle of his forehead with a syringe.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the sixth story, he said that the anti-wrinkle injection with her was yesterday, and the best part is that it didn’t even hurt. He can’t wait to see the results in two weeks; he’ll look brand new.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a statement from the Advertising Standards Authority:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we appreciated that the ads provided useful information, we felt that they also served to promote Botox by making the product seem more appealing to consumers.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

A clinic has verified that he was not required to pay for the Botox treatment that was featured in the advertisements; however, they have stated that they did require him to post about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

They also told the ASA that they knew it was against the rules to advertise Botox because it was a prescription-only medicine, but that they didn’t know it was also against the rules to make references to anti-wrinkle injections.<\/span><\/p>\n

He told the ASA that he was just sharing his own experience online and was in no way endorsing any sort of cosmetic procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n

He verified that the posts had been taken down since their initial publication.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ASA stated that he had implicitly agreed to republish content and that a clinic had editorial control over the language he used.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the ASA, \u201cWe considered that the advertisements promoted Botox, making it seem more alluring to consumers, rather than simply providing factual information.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Further, it was revealed that he had about 230,000 Instagram followers and fancied himself a reality TV star.<\/span><\/p>\n
