💉 Licensing instead of regulating – a win for the government’s revenue, a loss for patients.
High risk procedures like BBLs will be regulated BUT injectables such as dermal fillers classified as medical devices – will be allowed to be injected by non-medics with a local council licence.
Risks include necrosis, blindness, stroke and permanent disfigurement, yet no mandatory medical training will be required.
Licensing means
• Huge income from non-medics stays intact
• Political backlash avoided
• Accountability diffused across councils
It looks like safety but it’s theatre.
THE REAL DANGER – NON-MEDICS PERFORMING MEDICAL PROCEDURES – REMAINS.
This isn’t gatekeeping.
It’s about preventing avoidable harm. Until the law changes, patients will keep paying – sometimes with more than just money.

The Wild West is starting to close down.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has released its long-awaited response to the 2023 consultation on aesthetic regulations - marking a major shift in how non-surgical cosmetic procedures will be delivered in England.
⚠️ While this is a significant step forward, for now many medical procedures will continue to be performed by non-medics without medical training or clinical accountability.
🔒 What’s coming:
- A new licensing scheme for practitioners and premises
- Only healthcare professionals to perform high risk treatments like BBLs
- Mandatory CQC premises for invasive procedures
- Licensing of Botox® and dermal fillers by local authorities
- Under-18s protected (no treatment without clinical need)
- Strict requirements for training, safety, and insurance
📆 A further consultation is due early 2026 to finalise the details.
⚖️ Your voice matters, we must stay engaged.
Because Aesthetic Medicine is Medicine.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Please see my further comment👇

“Beauty” treatments?
Blindness, necrosis, infection, and irreversible harm.
These are medical procedures with medical risks.
Not beauty therapy.
Aesthetic Medicine is Medicine.
Do you agree?

When medically unqualified individuals perform medical procedures - downplay the risks, and resist oversight - patient safety is compromised.
This isn’t gatekeeping.
It’s accountability, and it’s long overdue.
Medical doctors, nurses, dentists and prescribing pharmacists are qualified to perform medical procedures.
Should medically unqualified individuals be allowed to perform medical procedures?

The backlash on my last post was… telling.
Plenty of people still think injectables are “just cosmetic.”
So let’s be clear.
Aesthetic Medicine involves:
- Prescription-only medications
- Medical devices
- Risks: infection, vascular occlusion, necrosis, blindness
It also requires:
- Medical history and examination
- Diagnosis
- Informed consent
- Clinical accountability
You’re not applying a face mask - you’re injecting substances into living tissue.
If you’re doing that without medical training, registration, and the ability to manage complications..
Then you’re not just part of the problem -
You Are The Problem.
Still think this isn’t medicine?

After graduating from medical school and working over 10 years in the NHS, I transitioned into aesthetic medicine - and I’ve been doing it for the last 21 years.
Never did I think I would have to justify that what I do is still medicine.
Injectables are not beauty treatments - they are medical procedures.
One side offers pink chairs, puppy filters, and vibes.
The other follows safety protocols, anatomy, and accountability.
Still think it’s the same “industry”?

Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) - paid to promote, praised as educators.
When the podium is bought, not earned…
And the message is whatever the sponsor wants it to be.
They may be smart, some even respected, but let’s not pretend they’re unbiased.
The system rewards loyalty to brands, not loyalty to science.
But at what cost?
The payout can be enormous, but is it worth it?
What do you think?

Almost 1 in 3 aesthetic practitioners self-inject.
(link to our study in bio)
We say we prioritise safety…
But who’s keeping us safe?
And if we’re not, what about the patient?
Should practitioners be injecting themselves at all?

We claim we want respect from other specialties…
But perhaps we should start looking at how we present ourselves?
If we want change, we have to start from within.
It’s time to raise the bar.
Aesthetic medicine is still medicine.
Thoughts?

Practitioners blinded by glamour.
Is aesthetic medicine becoming more about showing off lifestyles than delivering patient results?
Are some practitioners more focused on selling themselves than their skills?
What do you think - are some practitioners treating faces, or feeding their own egos?

Both male practitioners here are equally qualified, but which one would you choose for advice and treatment?
Following on from my last post…
Does it feel different when it’s two men?
Does gender influence how we judge our practitioners?
And does it change who we trust?

If both practitioners were equally qualified, who would you choose?
We say “don’t judge a book by its cover,” but in aesthetics, isn’t that exactly what we do.. or even should do?
Should the practitioners appearance influence how you trust their advice or treatment?
