SPECIAL NOTE ON THE PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS PROVIDED BY MASC LASER CLINIC ONLINE STORE
The recommendation is not to be construed as a written instruction or prescription that authorises a patient to be issued with a medicine or treatment by Dr Jonathan Toogood Plastic Surgeon. A person who has not had a face-to-face consultation with a medical practitioner is not a patient but rather an online customer. An online customer can in no way whatsoever be held to have received an actual written prescription. All use of the products must be followed by the product’s application instructions. No liability can be ascribed to the medical practitioner where there was no physical one-on-one consultation.
