Are medical professionals in the industry regulated?
Strangely, although the industry itself is not regulated, medical professionals are. They are held to extremely high standards by the professional bodies they are members of. Any issues surrounding patient safety or professional behavior are reported and the consequences can be severe. Many aesthetic clinics in the UK are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), meaning they regularly have to meet the standards set by the regulatory body through independent audits and unannounced visits. Anyone offering aesthetic treatments who is not a medical professional is not regulated or held accountable whatsoever.
