A campaign by the Department of Health and Social Care advising the public on cosmetics procedures campaign has launched today (May 14).
The campaign is aimed at tackling poorly administered cosmetic procedures, particualrly botulinum toxin and fillers.
The issue was raised on Victoria Derbyshire's BBC programme last month, where it was announced that the campaign will address the number of procedures that go wrong, the impact on mental health, plus the cost to the NHS of fixing problems. The dangers of self-administered filler kits, sold online, were also highlighted. Representative from the DoH claimed it was also being launched due to the growing number of people going overseas for surgery.
