Edit Aesthetic Safety Regulations

<div><strong>Do you think within the aesthetics industry, that there is enough screening for people with self-image conditions such as body dysmorphia?</strong></div> <div> </div> <div><em>“Unfortunately, not, especially when we talk about non-medics performing these treatments.”</em></div> <div> </div> <div><strong>Do you think stricter regulations could positively improve self-image?</strong></div> <div> </div> <div><em>“Stricter regulations can have a positive impact on self-image in several ways.</em></div> <div><em> </em></div> <div><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Personal Accountability</strong>:</span></div> <div><em>Stricter regulations encourage practitioners to adhere to ethical and legal standards. Knowing that there are consequences for unethical or harmful behaviour can lead to a greater sense of personal accountability. This can contribute to a positive self-image as individuals align their actions with societal expectations.</em></div> <div><strong><em> </em></strong></div> <div><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Sense of Purpose</strong>:</span></div> <div><em> Regulations are often implemented to address issues that impact public welfare, safety, and the environment. Adhering to these regulations can provide individuals with a sense of purpose, as they contribute to the well-being of society. This sense of purpose can positively influence self-esteem and self-worth.</em></div> <div><strong><em> </em></strong></div> <div><strong><em>Community Trust:</em></strong><em> Stricter regulations promote transparency and fairness. When individuals and organizations comply with these regulations, it builds trust within communities. Being perceived as a trustworthy and responsible member of society can enhance an individual's self-image and contribute to a positive reputation.”</em></div> <div> </div> <div><strong>From your experience what are the biggest concerns in terms of lack of regulation and what measures do you believe should be put in place?</strong></div> <div> </div> <div><em>“My foremost priority revolves around ensuring patient safety across all domains. This encompasses not only the safety of the treatment itself but also recognizes that refraining from or denying treatment, in certain instances, may prove more advantageous than proceeding with interventions. It is crucial to acknowledge that non-medical professionals lack the authority to prescribe, and consequently, they may lack the necessary knowledge and experience to address potential complications. This leaves patients unattended, vulnerable to the risk of enduring long-term or even permanent deformities.</em></div> <div><em> </em></div> <div><em>I advocate for a strategic approach that involves categorizing and restricting the administration of injectables to practitioners possessing a robust educational foundation, ideally at a level 7 qualification. I firmly believe that acquiring this advanced level of education equips practitioners with the requisite skills to administer treatments safely and adeptly, thereby minimizing the potential for adverse outcomes and ensuring the overall well-being of the patients in their care.”</em></div>
