Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The report from the patient to the distributor indicates that this product was used off label and was administered by a nurse on herself without prior experience.Locations were "under my under eyes, 2 spots in my scalp, and 2 blebs to a scar on my neck and 1 to a deep chest wrinkle." the report from the distributor quotes the user/patient and indicates that she did not read the accompanied instructions for use but instead relied on online videos from unnamed sources.This is further supported by a quote referencing a memory of a glo nurse's advice not to let the needle touch the gel; had the user/patient read the instructions she would have seen that instruction within.She indicated within that report that she mistook the gel for prp that would not draw up into her needle.
