Beware the Botox bandits
The BACD (British Association of Cosmetic Doctors) has come out in support of the BAPS (British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) in there support of generating public awareness of the dangers of undergoing non surgical cosmetic treatments in salons and spas.
The Chairman of the BACD John Curran has been fighting for change. Presently member of the medical profession are forced to act within a strict code of conduct lid down by the general medical council. However these spa and Salons are not required to abide by these rules. So the people most qualified are also the most restricted where a blind eye is turned to the least qualified or competence.
Dr Curran also is looking to warn beauty therapists to avoid unqualified practitioner who are setting up and running courses offer training in dermal fillers. Without qualification toward the risks, no only could you be putting your patience in undue danger but also you could possible be on the wrong end of a expensive court case.
For all treatments such as botox, Perlane and Restylane it is always best to find a qualified practitioner. To find a accredited cosmetic doctor please look on the BACD website.
