Introduce legislation restricting nonsurgical aesthetics to medical doctors only
We believe the lack of regulation in aesthetics, including Botox, fillers, fat-dissolving, and liquid BBL, can lead to harm, with poorly trained practitioners sometimes causing severe complications and unnatural results.

Background
We believe that adverse events remain underreported, potentially burdening the NHS with corrective care. We believe parliament should legislate to protect patients, and potentially reduce NHS costs. Regulation could address what we feel is a public health crisis, improve trust in the UK’s aesthetic industry and could position us as a global leader in safety and standard.
