The phenomenon of Botox injection and filler opened en masse in our country has made possible the use of these products not only in certified clinics, but also in aesthetic centers and hairdressers.
These products from the information that Fiksi has received enter Albania illegally, which has made them normally traded on hand. After an interest made by Fiks journalists, they managed to find two people who sell these products.
After the first contact on the phone they start the list of products and prices. To deepen the investigation, the journalists of Fiks asked to meet these people closely.
The first person they contacted was Pirro who introduces these products in our country and sells them. He leads a representative of his, Julian, to the meeting with the journalists of Fiks.
Julia during the conversation Julia talks about the prices that are on the market today which range from 150 -170 euros for botox. The products came in very good refrigeration conditions. The product after the order is brought by them and the payment was made in cash, no fiscal invoice was issued, as it entered our country without customs. This list also includes the Profhilo product, which is being used massively lately.
Fiksi also contacts the second seller, a guy named Endrit. He explains that the products came from Turkey and guaranteed their quality, because as he says, there are many fake products in the market which are sold at the price of original products. For payment with this seller works the same, get the product pay cash.
But these products in our country are smuggled in, as some of them are not registered at all in the National Register of Medical Devices, as well as botox.
Fiks Fare was interested in this at the General Directorate of Customs, the State Health Inspectorate and the National Drug Agency.
The General Directorate of Customs in their response clarifies that this institution can not identify all the variety of imported drugs, as the Combined Nomenclature of Goods does not have specific codes for specific drugs.
“Imported drugs are listed in the authorization issued by the National Drug Center, which is located in the practice of customs clearance,” explains the General Directorate of Customs.
While the National Agency for Drugs and Medical Devices clarifies for Fix explains that botox and prophilo are unregistered,
the prophilo product is classified as a medical device and is not registered in the National Register of Medical Devices.
While the products Dysport, Masport, Botox, Nabota are classified as drugs, but they are not Authorized for Trade in our country. According to the Drug Agency, medical devices and drugs that are not equipped with Authorization for Trade in the Republic of Albania, are not allowed to traded in the pharmaceutical market.
Meanwhile, according to this answer, the Drug Agency has ascertained such drugs in the market, even though they are unregistered. What this agency has done is take administrative measures. 27 administrative measures were taken for medical devices without a Registration Certificate and 51 administrative measures for drugs without a Registration Certificate.
So, even the National Drug Agency is aware that through the centers and aesthetic clinics, circulate different types of botox and prophilo smuggling.
Meeting with Julian
Fiction – I just came from abroad and opened a salon, I put them all in and I wanted to bring in these too. I talked to Pirro, what do you have that you do not have as products? He just brought me the list and told me that now he only had Dysport in stock.
Julia – Even Juederma, the Botox Masport.
Fiction- Yes Masport and Dysport.
Julia – I expect to come another product that I have the impression has sent you to the list.
Fiction- Profhilon thua?
Julia – Another product.
Fiction – In the list he tells me that the filters have Ultra smaile, 3-4 and the volume is not currently, and he tells me I have Dysport, Masport also profiles.
Julia – Profhilo is a filler. Dysport ka, Masport ka. This other Allergan is also another product in the Botox category that we should have, but I think it will come.
Fiction – Where do these come from?
Julia – These come from Turkey.
Fiction – What about prices?
Julia – Yes, in general we cooperate with doctors, with clinics. We have a stable cooperation. There is a price, if we talk about Dysport is 150 to 155 euros.
Fiction – What about these fillers here?
Julia – These then are at 180 euros. Look, this is a very unregulated market, I believe you understand me, as long as there is not a company or several companies that have the exclusivity of these products in the country. We bring these from a pharmaceutical company in Turkey. There may be examples that also bring them from Greece, but at much higher prices. It depends on how many parties are involved in their supply, it depends on the profit margin, It also depends on where they are taken. All products come in very good transport conditions what is primary. Not only with Masport and Dysport is that they must be transported in very specific conditions, up to 8 degrees temperature, all the time to be on ice and these are things we care about, that is, we i
Fiction- These are standard and strict. What about the products when I receive them, I receive them with an invoice, do I unload them or not? To know how to maneuver in case we say it in quotes I have a control?
Julia – Unfortunately these products do not enter Albania
Fiction – Aren’t they in the book, what do they say in the pharmaceutical register? Let’s say they are not yet legal.
Julia – All these products in this category that you see here, do not come from a distributor or a pharmaceutical company, it comes from someone who gets them, who gets them in the company or….
Fiction – Let’s say they come…. I make a way I get a bag
Julia – Yes
Fiction – And brings them
Julia – So… ..
Fiction – Yes I got it
Julia – The purchase invoice is the purchase invoice in the company, but it is in large volumes, but it does not serve you.
Fiction – Do you bring me the products, or do I have to pick them myself? Payment is made in cash? How it works?
Julia – We bring the products, payment is made in cash, only if we make a cooperation agreement. You tell us the amount you need and we bring it to you. It has its own production date, its expiration date, all these things, as long as it has entered the market I think it needs it. These are the things we can talk about.
Fiction – Do you have collaborations with many clinics I believe?
Julia – We have collaborations with several clinics. We have collaborators and a maxillofacial doctor and we have a dialogue and we also get for the market, that is.
Meeting with Endrit
Endriti – I do not meet before, it is not that I have a product, I have 4 products in total.
Fiction – I also got a doctor and I want to do these injections as well.
Endrit – What will you do only filler – botox or even laser, things like that?
Fiction – All. As if these times are very open.
Endrit -One has opened a lot, and many fake products have been introduced two, and there are very cheap three. They are making full botox for 100 euros, for 120 euros. The product I have costs 170 euros, he makes botox 120 euros, he understands.
Fiction – Who is that Dysport?
Endriti – Dysporti.
Fiction – Where do you get it?
Endrit – From Turkey, not produced in Turkey, allergens, botox do not give the right to any country to produce their product. Allergan is produced in France, and botox allergen is also produced in France. Distributed from France, to Greece, to Serbia.
Fiction – What about Sports? Korean?
Endrit – Masport is Iranian.
Fiction – But why did they tell me Korean and 80 euros?
Endriti – Iranian. Have not been told about Naboth. I have Juvederma, Restiline, Dysport, Allergan.
Fiction – At what prices do you have all this?
Endrit – 150 (euro) is Allergan, 170 (euro) is Dysport. For those who buy Dysport in bulk I give 160 (euro), Juvedermi ultra3, ultra 4 is 200 (euro), 240 (euro) is Voluma, Restilaini then is 105 (euro) 100 (euro).
Fiction – Do not have a profile?
Endrit – Profhilo, I expect him to come to me next week. We find that it is not a problem.
Fiction – I heard, you’s not the only one who has.
Endrit – If you want to create quality you have to get quality. If you have cheap prices, you will work with Nabot, which costs 50 euros, and these good clinics, for example, offer 150 euros full of botox, try to get Nabot, they do not get Dysport or allergens. The problem is that we have to go customs must register it, to register the product must obtain the certificate from the factory of production. He does not give you the certificate, because you can not become a distributor of botox, selling 150, 200,300 pieces throughout Albania, because so many are sold are no longer sold. So you can not register even if you have a strong friend can not register.
Fiction – When I place my order, will I pick up the location and it comes? So for payments, do you have it?
Endriti – Yes
