Calling aesthetic practitioners and clinic owners: help shape the market
Beauty and hair industry membership body the National Hair and Beauty Federation (NHBF) is asking aesthetic professionals to share their knowledge of the sector.
The organisation, which provides guidance and support to hair and beauty professionals in the UK, has launched a survey into the aesthetics treatment market to gain a better understanding of the sector and give its members who provide advanced treatments more representation.
The NHBF wants to gather information from leading clinic owners and aesthetic practitioners on what services are most the popular and why, as well as gaining an understanding on who is performing them. The survey includes questions contributed by Aesthetic Medicine, and the results will be published exclusively in a later issue of the magazine and online.
The survey asks key questions including:
- Who provides advanced beauty and non-surgical aesthetics treatments?
- Where do these treatments take place?
- Which are the most common treatments?
- What clinical oversight is provided?
- What qualifications and training do practitioners hold?
- Which treatment trends do practitioners think will grow fastest in 2020?
Closing date for responses is Sunday, March 1, and all entries will be anonymous and remain strictly confidential.
Why has the NHBF Aesthetics Survey been launched?
The survey findings will be presented to the new Beauty, Aesthetics and Wellbeing All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) to help the group get a better understanding of advanced beauty and aesthetic treatments. The group aims to promote the beauty industry as a force for good and highlight the substantial contribution it makes to the UK economy, as well as pushing for regulation that works for both non-medics and medics in the sector.
“The research will give the APPG vital insight into the beauty and aesthetic treatments available and who provides them. To support practitioners and to protect the safety of the public, we need to ensure that qualifications, training and high-quality guidance are in place,” said Caroline Larissey, NHBF director of quality and standards.
