Victims of botched filler ops ‘IGNORED by rogue practitioners after complaining in 80% of cases’
BOTCHED filler victims are being "ignored" by rogue practitioners in 80 per cent of cases after they complain, new research shows.
More people are turning to anti-wrinkle jabs and fillers amid an apparent "Zoom boom" as people want to look good on video calls, experts say.
We want anyone considering a non-surgical cosmetic treatment to be well-informed to make a safe decision.
We’ve Had Our Fill of rogue traders and sham clinics - have you?
The RSPH, which is offering the course with the Qualification Council for Cosmetic Procedures, says it will “transform the landscape of aesthetic medicine”.
The Sun’s Had Our Fill campaign has been calling for tighter regulation of the £2.75billion industry.
It wants fillers to be made illegal for under 18s, a crackdown on social media sites plugging fillers and a Government-backed central register for practitioners with accredited qualifications.
Gillian Murray, from the QCCP, said: "Current levels of education and training are not standardised across the UK among aesthetic practitioners.
“This gives rise to different practice standards and allows misleading claims of competence.
“The qualifications produced by the QCCP will give the practitioner a curriculum to work to and provide assurances that training providers are teaching to produce competent practitioners.
“Having a certificate endorsed by RSPH will help to underline and establish the medical model of practice, allowing the practitioner to have confidence in their level of training.”
