Scottish Government Moves to Enforce Strong Regulations on Botox Clinics

The Scottish Government is introducing stringent regulations on non-surgical procedures like Botox, aiming to ensure all treatments are administered by registered health professionals in safe environments.

• The proposed Bill in the Scottish Parliament mandates that procedures involving Botulinum toxin, injectable fillers, and Brazilian butt lifts must be performed by registered healthcare professionals.
• Under the new legislation, it will be illegal to conduct these procedures outside of appropriate healthcare settings, effectively prohibiting informal practices such as Botox parties in homes.
• The regulatory framework will be backed by Healthcare Improvement Scotland, ensuring that hygiene standards are maintained and public safety is prioritized in cosmetic treatments throughout Scotland.
