People who administer Botox or fillers in the UK will now need to be licensed, following an “unacceptable increase” in reports of failed cosmetic procedures. From eyelid drooping caused by botox to lip fillers that lead to clogged blood vessels, stories of botched treatments are becoming more and more common. The new regulations are designed to protect the public from potentially dangerous treatments. The government has stated that anyone administering Botox or fillers must be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
This means that they must have the necessary qualifications and experience to carry out the treatments safely and effectively. The CQC will also be responsible for monitoring and inspecting clinics and salons that offer Botox and fillers. This will ensure that they are following the correct safety protocols and using only approved products. Any clinics or salons found to be in breach of the regulations will face sanctions, including fines or closure. The new regulations are a welcome step forward for those who are considering having Botox or fillers. It is important to remember that these treatments should only be carried out by qualified professionals who have the necessary experience and qualifications.
By ensuring that all practitioners are properly licensed, it will help to reduce the risk of botched treatments. If you are considering having Botox or fillers, it is important to do your research and make sure that you choose a reputable practitioner. Ask questions about their qualifications and experience, and make sure that they are registered with the CQC. This will help to ensure that you get a safe and effective treatment.
