Peak health regulatory bodies will review non-surgical cosmetic procedures by doctors, nurses, dentists and other practitioners.

Injectables such as Botox and fillers will be the focus of an upgraded health regulator review targeting rogue operators in the cosmetic industry in an attempt to “strengthen the hand of the consumer”.

“It’s clear that the cosmetic sector is booming, you can’t walk down a high street and not see people offering a range of injectables, and we need to put in place guidelines to ensure consumer safety,” he said. Proposed new guidelines will apply to all registered health practitioners advertising non-surgical cosmetic procedures.

“The golden rule for healthcare professionals is ‘do no harm’, but the reality for some patients is that these procedures do harm and care is needed, appropriate training is needed, to minimise the risk,” he saidreport, released last September, identified 16 reforms to ensure patient safety. AHPRA said almost all had been introduced., and has amassed 428 calls from patients with complaints about their treatments, and from other doctors who have flagged concerns about other practitioners.
