Scotland is set to be the first UK nation to introduce detailed regulation of non-surgical cosmetic procedures.
In May, the Scottish Government announced plans to introduce a Non-surgical Cosmetic Procedures Bill during the current session of the Scottish Parliament. The main aim of the Bill is to protect the public by ensuring that such services are provided in appropriately registered premises and by providers who meet enforced standards.
Writing for The Scotsman, healthcare partners Duncan Batchelor and Claire Raftery discuss the implications of the proposed Bill and explore how it could reshape the regulation of cosmetic procedures in Scotland.
