The UK Government has outlined plans for a stricter licensing regime governing non-surgical cosmetic procedures, including Brazilian butt lifts, dermal fillers and Botox injections. Under the proposals, only qualified healthcare professionals would be allowed to carry out the highest-risk treatments, and a new system of mandatory licences would apply to premises and practitioners. Ministers said the move responds to a rise in serious complications that have left patients requiring urgent National Health Service care. The crackdown aims to curb so-called “cowboy” operators who advertise cut-price treatments on social media and often work without adequate training, insurance or hygiene standards. Draft legislation is expected to be published later this year following a public consultation.
