The cosmetics industry is currently unregulated, which has led to a lot of dangerous procedures performed by unqualified people. There have been many cases of serious, permanent damage caused by these "cosmetic cowboys." To address this, the government is introducing a new plan to protect people who want cosmetic treatments. The goal is to support qualified, reputable practitioners while stopping those who are unqualified from putting people at risk. This isn't about preventing people from getting treatments they want. Instead, it's about protecting the public from dangerous operators and ensuring their safety. This will give people peace of mind and also reduce the cost to the NHS of fixing botched procedures.
