Response to the Scottish Government's consultation on licensing of non-surgical cosmetics
19 Feb 2025
We have published our response to the Scottish Government's consultation on the regulation of non-surgical cosmetic procedures.
In our response, we have welcomed the Scottish Government's plans to ban certain treatments for under-18s, bringing Scotland in line with England to reduce the risk of ‘cosmetic tourism’ across the UK.
We believe any scheme introduced should be simple and transparent. The requirements for different procedures must be clearly communicated with the public so they know what to look for and how to choose a practitioner.
