Carte Blanche: Fake injectors
On Sunday, 29 June, the episode of Carte Blanche investigates the rise of fake cosmetic injectors operating in an unregulated and dangerous underground industry. In a society increasingly driven by the pursuit of flawless skin, unlicensed individuals with no medical training or oversight are administering fillers and Botox, putting countless lives at risk. These procedures, widely promoted across social media, have become part of a booming, illegal market where profit often takes precedence over safety. The exposé raises a critical question: What is the real price people pay, physically and emotionally, for cheap beauty enhancements? Carte Blanche is a South African investigative journalism television series that airs on M-Net every Sunday at 19:00. Its first episode aired on 21 August 1988 and over the last 34-plus years has earned credibility among South African viewers for its investigation into corruption, consumer issues, and current events.
