A physiotherapist who administered an unlicensed Botox-like product to a number of clients and was found guilty of poor professional performance has been suspended for three months by the High Court.

High Court president Mr Justice David Barniville confirmed the sanction of CORU the regulatory body of health and social care professionals to suspend the Dublin physiotherapist from the Register of Physiotherapists for three months starting in October.
