New quality mark for botox industry
A government-backed register for providers of injectable cosmetic treatments such as botox and dermal fillers has been launched.
Those who meet the standards set down for the Independent Heathcare Advisory Services' voluntary register will receive a quality assurance mark.
The IHAS hopes people will be steered away from "botox parties" or treatments offered in inappropriate locations.
But cosmetic surgeons say such self regulation will not stop bad practice.
