The UK is the only country in the world that does not regulate aesthetic treatments, putting patients at huge risk. This is why we are seeing an epidemic of complications and botched treatments in the UK. I find this extremely worrying especially for the younger generation who may be less risk averse, not research their practitioner effectively and can be influenced by trends on social media. By choosing a BCAM member, you can be reassured you are being treated by a healthcare professional with years of medical training and experience with the clinics using safe licensed products.
