Did anyone see the news headlines this morning?
The Royal College of Surgeons wants to clampdown on those practitioners who are able to administer anti-wrinkle injections such as Botox injections. Currently, people such as beauticians, with no medical training, can administer such treatments, and there is an alarming trend in what the RCS calls "Botox Parties".
It suggests that only trained doctors nurses and dentists should provide non surgical cosmetic treatments, after a thorough assessment has taken place, and in an environment where client safety is paramount in the case of a medical emergency.
Practitioners have a duty of care to manage a clients expectations both before and after treatment.
Here at Absolute Dental, we do offer "wrinkle relaxing injections" and dermal fillers, and these are administered in our beautiful dental practice by Rhodri John BDS.
According to research, about 200,000 anti-wrinkle injections are carried out in the UK each year, but due to the current lack of regulation it is uncertain exactly how many injections are being carried out privately, therefore we whole-heartedly support the need for stricter controls to ensure that those looking for such treatments are able to find a skilled & trusted clinician.
