CPSA launches consultation on clinical standards for cosmetic procedures

The Cosmetic Practice Standards Authority (CPSA) has held workshops for the clinical and practice standards for non-surgical cosmetic procedures (dermal fillers, toxins, skin rejuvenation and lasers) and hair-restoration surgery. 

The CPSA has engaged with professionals from across the aesthetics sector. The workshops included nominees from: British Association of Dermatologists (BAD), British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS), British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), British Association of Cosmetic Nurses (BACN), British College of Aesthetic Medicine (BCAM), British Association of Hair Restoration Surgery (BAHRS), British Medical Laser Association (BMLA) and the Aesthetic Practitioner Working Group (APWG) led by Habia. 

The standards are currently being drafted and will go out to consultation in September. 

Once edited and complete, the standards will be passed to the Joint Council of Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP) to benchmark practitioners and providers.
