Hi, I've seen a few forums about this subject but it's still bringing no clairity. About 6 months ago I paid a lot of money to become a qualified and insured laser teeth whitening technician. I had been offering this service in salon with insurance and certificate in place when I was visited by trading standards claiming that it was illegal for any beautician to offer this treatment and you have to be a dentist or dental professional. I have since stopped practicing this as I could face prosecution personally! When phoning the GDC they agree with the above and tell me it is completely illegal and beauticians are being prosecuted. But yet there are numerous salons and mobile techs offering this treatments all over my area. I also hear this will be at the professional beauty show? Can anyone shed some light on this matter as I feel like I'm being victimized and hitting a brick wall!
