'We were injecting by the afternoon... It seemed quite dangerous.' The ugly side of the beauty industry with substandard training, false advertising and intimidation

Another told us that she left the course with certificates stating her competency in procedures she had never even practised before.The sector forms part of the booming non-surgical cosmetic industry, which the government predicts will be worth £3.6bn by the end of this year.We've spoken to countless industry insiders who told of"appalling" experiences on training courses, which they say left them unable to practise safely.

"There was mess everywhere… the needle bin was overflowing. It felt like we were being used as cheap labour," she said.

In October last year, she went on a one-day course in filler and anti-wrinkle injections at foundation level.

Perfectly timed and great for any prospective ‘beauty’ patients to see this. I recently edited a documentary highlighting the unregulated aesthetics industry which aired a week ago directed by the amazing ashnilakhani. This really is an important topic.

Once you start on the slippery slope of cosmetic work such as this there is no turning back for fear of finding how you truly look. Best not go there in the first place.

Serves them right, who thinks that having fish lips is attractive anyway.
