Recommendation 19
19
Deferred
Paragraph: 113
Vulnerable individuals lack sufficient time to consider non-surgical cosmetic procedure decisions.
Conclusion
The dangers posed by non-surgical cosmetic procedures in vulnerable groups have been evident throughout the inquiry. The new licensing regime provides an opportunity to ensure that anyone planning to undertake a non-surgical cosmetic procedure has the time and space to consider their decision, and weigh up the risks and benefits. It is clear this is not currently the case for everyone in that position.
