Counterfeit cosmetic procedures from rogue operator left one woman with issues that could last a lifetime
Liquid butt lifts targeted in clampdown on England’s cosmetic ‘wild west’
Plans to cut down on “cowboy” cosmetic procedures have been introduced by the government, meaning that only qualified healthcare professionals will be able to perform high-risk treatments.
Clinics administering fillers and Botox will need to meet strict standards to obtain a licence as part of the Department of Health and Social Care proposals to protect people from “rogue operators” with no medical training who often provide “invasive” procedures in homes, hotels and pop-up clinics.
Officials said that people have been left “maimed” by beauty procedures, with some deaths linked to poor care.
