In This Issue
Welcome to this issue of Consulting Room Magazine for Summer 2025.
Hopefully, you are reading this with your feet up, sitting by a pool, or taking a relaxing break from work. I know I am looking forward to some time off.
The theme for this month is innovations in injectables, and you will find a host of content centred around this topic in the coming pages. From our what’s trending piece examining consumer attitudes to dermal fillers on page 6 to GSM (p18-20) and cannulas (p22-24).
In addition, this month’s CPD article (p32-34) looks at the microbiome, while our business section sees advice from Julie Scott on purchasing devices (p38-40) and Alan Adams on cashflow (p42-43).
Our Safety in Aesthetics features this month look at recent warnings set out by trading standards over counterfeit products (pages 12-13) and the Government’s recent announcement outlining new measures to crack down on cosmetic procedures following the 2023 consultation (pages 14-15).
Among the proposed measures is that only qualified healthcare professionals will be able to perform the highest risk procedures, such as non-surgical Brazilian Butt Lifts. Clinics administering lower-risk cosmetic treatments, including botulinum toxin, lip fillers and facial dermal fillers, will also come under stricter oversight through a new local authority licensing system and practitioners will be required to meet rigorous safety, training, and insurance standards before they can legally operate.
As well as this, we share the industry’s latest news (p8-9) and product launches (p41).
I hope you enjoy this issue and have a lovely summer!
