Everything here is written without naming a prescription drug or claiming a result — because that is the law, and because you deserve information rather than marketing.
Six phrases pulled from real aesthetics advertising. Three regulators govern what a clinic may say. Guess which of these are allowed.
Your regulator says you should ask these. A good clinic has the answers ready.
Federal · all providers
Prescription drugs may be advertised to the public by name, price and quantity only. Its guidance names procedure videos, before-and-after photos and testimonials as illegal marketing.
Ontario · physicians
No testimonials. No comparisons to other physicians. No promises of better results. No incentives to consent. Before-and-afters must never appear unsolicited.
Ontario · nurses
Since June 2026, every advertisement must carry the nurse's full name, designation, and the authorizing provider. No drug benefit claims. No digital enhancement of client images.
This is a plain-language summary, not legal advice, and it is current as of July 2026. Regulators update their guidance — tell us if you spot something out of date here.
