Better Regulation of Cosmetic Industry Needed

Quinn ClinicsThe recent PIP breast implant scandal has highlighted the importance of better regulation for the cosmetic surgery industry.

With thousands of women having PIP implants which have now been found to be defective, containing industrial grade silocone rather than medical grade, the question of industry regulation is again on the agenda.

For those considering surgery, important questions will no doubt be asked as to the surgeon, implants, hospital and aftercare/guarantee. Surgery is a major decision and should be thoroughly considered and researched.

Choosing a Cosmetic Treatments Provider

Although the risks of cosmetic treatments are far less than those of surgery, the same principles apply for prospective patients.

Our top advice on choosing a practitioner includes:

  • Ensure your cosmetic treatments practitioner is medically qualified i.e. a Doctor
  • Ensure your Doctor is appropriately trained and experienced in cosmetic treatments – beautiful results are as much about aesthetic appreciation as medical skill and knowledge
  • Look for a CQC registered clinic – these have to meet rigorous standards
