Beware of party Botox bodgers
Experts fear the trend could lead to unqualified practitioners administering Botox in unhygienic conditions – putting consumers at risk.
Sally Taber, from Independent Healthcare Advisory Service , says: “There is no doubt injectable cosmetics are popular with people looking for a solution to the ageing process.
“We are urging everyone to think about their safety when choosing a practitioner and by following our five-point checklist, patients can ensure they are in the best possible hands.”
Here Sally outlines five steps to ensure you stay safe.
1. QUALIFICATIONS: Check the qualifications of the practitioner – only regulated doctors, dentists and registered nurses are appropriately qualified to administer injectable cosmetic treatment.
Sally says: “A practitioner must not only demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of facial anatomy and best clinical practice but also the ability to manage complications such as swelling or an allergic reaction.”
2. TITLE: Do not be taken in by unrecognisable titles such as Advanced Aesthetic Practitioners and ensure the title of doctor, dentist or registered nurse actually applies to the individual holding the needle.
Sally says: “We have seen a rise in unqualified beauty practitioners calling themselves Advanced Aesthetic Practitioners recently which is extremely worrying.
“Make sure you understand the title of the practitioner and if you’re not sure, ask exactly what it means.”
