A very helpful image to grade what is beauty and what is medical. π
The line between aesthetic procedures and beauty treatments is often blurred.
Aesthetic treatments like botox, fillers and thread lifts are MEDICAL treatments and should only be performed by appropriately trained medical clinicians such as doctors and dentists π©Ί
But due to the dire lack of regulation in aesthetic medicine in the UK, you don't need to be medically trained to offer aesthetic treatment. That means anyone can legally buy filler or Botox and inject others.
So, if you're considering having an aesthetic procedure like Botox or fillers, you need to do your due diligence.
All medical treatments come with risks, but in untrained hands, those risks are significantly higher.
You only get one face. Keep it safe by seeing a well-trained medical practitioner who is thoroughly educated in facial anatomy and techniques for injecting different types of fillers.
And similarly, there is currently no set training standard for using laser or IPL machines, which can be very risky in the wrong hands.
These treatments should be obtained only from doctors, nurses or therapists trained to use them in an appropriate healthcare environment rather than a beauty salon.
