The consultation aims to gather insights from various stakeholders, including medical professionals, practitioners, and the public, to better understand the challenges posed by unregulated procedures. These treatments, often administered by individuals without proper medical training, can lead to adverse health outcomes, such as infections, scarring, and allergic reactions.
Key objectives of the consultation include evaluating the current regulatory framework, assessing the qualifications and training requirements for practitioners, and exploring potential measures to enhance safety and consumer protection. Stakeholders are encouraged to provide input on areas like mandatory qualifications, licensing, advertising standards, and patient consent processes.
This consultation underscores the UK’s commitment to ensuring the well-being of individuals seeking cosmetic procedures, emphasizing the importance of informed decision-making and safe practices within the industry. By addressing gaps in regulation and raising awareness about potential risks, the government hopes to establish a safer and more transparent environment for cosmetic treatments in the country.
