<p><em><strong>What changes are happening now? </strong></em></p> <p>We now know that a licensing scheme for non-surgical cosmetic procedures will be implemented in the UK. We don’t know the extent of this or the specifics of what this will entail. The government recently announced a consultation period for the licensing scheme whereby people can share their experiences, thoughts and opinions. It’s important that as many people as possible have their say so that the industry finally has the chance to become a safe place for patients across the country. </p> <p> </p> <p><em><strong>Who should I be seeing for my non-surgical aesthetic treatments? </strong></em></p> <p>When considering injectable treatments, it’s important to do your research and find a reputable clinic and practitioner. There are a number of websites which list approved, safe and experienced providers including <a title="Save Face" href="https://www.saveface.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Save Face</a>, <a title="Safety In Beauty" href="https://safetyinbeauty.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Safety In Beauty</a> and <a title="The Tweakments Guide." href="https://thetweakmentsguide.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Tweakments Guide.</a> As a rule of thumb, your practitioner should be a doctor, nurse or dentist who has had extensive training and experience in the speciality of aesthetics. If you’re struggling to find out whether a certain practitioner is a medical professional, that should be your clue! Medical professionals offering aesthetic treatments will usually ensure their credentials are clear to any prospective patients. However, it’s always worth asking if you are unsure. </p> <p> </p> <p><strong><em>Why should it only be medical professionals offering injectable treatments?</em> </strong></p> <p>Let’s take a doctor for example… all doctors will have attended medical school for 5 years, and they’ll have then worked for around 4 years on different speciality rotations. Only then, after 9 years of training are they allowed to specialise in areas such as aesthetics. Even after all those years of training, many of them will still attend numerous advanced training courses, as well as regularly attending conferences, seminars and workshops all over the world with some of the most highly experienced and knowledgeable injectors. We urge you to consider whether trusting someone who has been on a 2-day training course, can safely and effectively provide you with the treatment and care you require. </p>
