Edit How to Choose a Safe Aesthetic Practitioner

<p>Clare explains:</p> <blockquote> <p>“We have to demonstrate appropriate, safe prescribing to regulators, showing the exact supply chain we use and keeping detailed records. That’s why we can’t offer same-day consultations and treatments for new patients – safety always comes first.”</p> </blockquote> <p>This level of regulation protects patients and ensures treatments are carried out responsibly.</p> <p> </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How to Choose a Safe Aesthetic Practitioner</strong></h2> <p>When considering any injectable treatment, checking the credentials of the person performing it is one of the most important ways to protect your safety. Here are a few steps Clare recommends:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><a href="https://www.saveface.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>Check the Save Face register</strong></a> to confirm they’re accredited.</li> <li>Make sure they’re registered with a relevant governing body, such as the <a href="https://www.gmc-uk.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>GMC</strong></a> or <a href="https://www.nmc.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>NMC</strong></a>. </li> <li>Ask where their products come from and ensure they use licensed UK pharmacies.</li> <li>Choose practitioners who prioritise safety and won’t bypass consultation requirements.</li> </ul> <p>“Aesthetic treatments are medical procedures, not beauty treatments,” Clare says. “Choosing a properly trained, accountable practitioner protects your health and your results.”</p> <p> </p> <div class="wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-a716a9a2"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5dc627a1ef9068787205346cd6383255"><strong>Final Thoughts</strong></h2> <p class="has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-022948592a6ecdffa9c50ae50a72e2e8">The recent botulism cases are an important reminder of why patient safety should always come first when considering aesthetic treatments.
