The government says any new licensing scheme would protect patients from ‘potential harm’ associated with poorly-performed procedures, and provide ‘reassurance’.
In the consultation, the government is seeking views on:
- the types of treatments that we propose are included within the licensing scheme
- whether any procedures should be carried out only either by qualified and regulated healthcare professionals or under their clinical oversight
- whether procedures permitted to be carried out only by qualified and regulated healthcare professionals should only be carried out by Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered providers
- whether potential age restrictions should be imposed on those receiving specified procedures, in line with age restrictions on botulinum toxin injections, cosmetic fillers, tattoos, teeth whitening and sunbed use
The need for industry regulation has been welcomed by Rebecca Hunter, a qualified medical practitioner, who runs her own nurse-led aesthetics company in Littleborough, and Rochdale MP, Sir Tony Lloyd.
