We have joined forces with the JCCP and Hamilton Fraser to launch a new initiative – Safety in Aesthetics.

The Consulting Room has joined forces with the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP) and Hamilton Fraser to launch a new initiative – Safety in Aesthetics. 

Our mission is to provide the public with all the information they need to make safe and informed decisions when choosing an aesthetic practitioner. Every clinic listed on the site is accredited, professionally trained, and properly insured, ensuring they prioritise your well-being above profit.  

In today’s fast-evolving world of beauty and medical aesthetics, making informed decisions about the professionals we trust with our care is more important than ever.

The rise of non-surgical cosmetic treatments has opened up a realm of possibilities for enhancing one’s confidence and appearance. However, with increased accessibility comes the pressing need to ensure safety remains at the forefront of every treatment.
 
Campaign objectives

1. Raise awareness
Highlight the critical importance of choosing qualified and accredited professionals for cosmetic procedures. Look for professionals registered with recognised organisations like the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP) or those holding certifications in specific treatment techniques. Prioritise practitioners with medical training and verifiable experience in aesthetics.

2. Educate consumers
Provide accessible, trustworthy information about the dangers of unregulated treatments and the potential consequences of prioritising price over expertise. For instance, individuals undergoing treatments from untrained practitioners risk complications such as infections, nerve damage, or unsatisfactory results. Recent studies indicate that cases of botched procedures have increased significantly in regions where regulations are less enforced, underscoring the importance of thorough vetting.

3. Encourage vigilance
Equip individuals with the tools and questions to confidently assess the credentials of their chosen practitioner. For example:

• Ask whether the practitioner is registered with a recognised regulatory body.
• Request evidence of their training in the specific procedure you are considering.
• Inquire about their professional insurance.
• Additionally, use online tools such as official accreditation registers or practitioner review platforms to verify their qualifications and reputation.

Safety in Aesthetics underscores our shared commitment to promoting public health and safeguarding the well-being of individuals seeking aesthetic enhancements. By making safety a priority, we can collectively reduce the risks and foster trust in the medical aesthetics industry.
