Following the publication of the recent Keogh Review, a group of medical experts met at the House of Lords on Wednesday 15th May to discuss the future of dermal fillers.
The meeting was headed by Baroness Morris, chairperson of the Department of Health, and the panel was made up of aesthetic practitioners, drug manufacturers, medical experts and representatives from Treatments You Can Trust.
Sally Taber, from Treatments You Can Trust, is campaigning for strict regulations regarding the administration of dermal fillers and argues that beauty therapists should not be able to offer injectable treatments. "Coming out of a hairdressers with fillers is totally unacceptable," she argues and went on to recommend strict and diligent date collection and recording, a register of approved aesthetic practitioners, and raising dermal fillers to prescription only.
Member of the cosmetic review team, Dr Andrew Vallance, who was part of the panel said, The review recommendations cover a broad scope, however what is central is the ambition to make patient safety paramount and to ensure consumers are empowered to make a choice. The lack of available information on the number and descriptions of dermal fillers injected demonstrates the clear need for better data collection. Whilst we wait for the Governments response to the Review and for the recommendations to be implemented, it is important that safety measures remain in place.
Until then...geek on!
