Introduction

This month our Feature Article delves into the world of Regenerative Medicine and its application in aesthetics. The hot topic again this month is of course regulation. With the Keogh Review moving along steadily, the RCS has published Professional Standards for Cosmetic Practice and the UK Parliament is debating a proposed Cosmetic Surgery (Minimum Standards) Bill with a view to a formal Act of Parliament; this would see an OffCos regulator. Our Food For Thought section details an interesting case study of a hyaluronic acid filler revision in the lips, our Business Corner looks at CPD points and our Latest News includes ground breaking Botox research and the acquisition of the VASER brand by Solta Medical.
