The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency and the Medical Board of Australia announced there will be new guidelines for health practitioners providing non-surgical cosmetic procedures.
One woman reported to AHPRA that she had suffered an infection in her cheek following a botched cosmetic thread lift. Another woman had a nurse carry out dermal fillers despite her history of known skin conditions that would make the treatment dangerous. "Getting these services is not like getting a haircut – these procedures come with risk. We want to ensure the public knows what safe practice looks like, and that practitioners are doing everything necessary to keep the public safe," AHPRA CEO Martin Fletcher said.Medical practitioners are already subject to MBA guidelines but soon health practitioners performing non-surgical cosmetic procedures will also be required to follow the rules.
