Wrinkle reducing injection, Medi-Laser Aesthetics in Walsall & Leicester
There are several controversial issues in this area such as whether we should encourage more direct marketing of such products (e.g. Juvederm® Ultra ads on TV), which medical and non-medical specialities should be allowed to administer these treatments and also about the reclassification of fillers from medical devices to prescription-
Certainly, the USA and Europe actually do not allow non-medically qualified people to inject dermal fillers. Furthermore, the major manufacturers and suppliers of these products do not tend to supply or train non-medical practitioners.
Dr Nina Sharma of Medi-Laser Aesthetics freely accepts that some beauticians may well get a more desirable aesthetic result from dermal fillers than some doctors because it is not all about science but there is a lot of art to this technique. However, she has great concerns about a beautician’s ability to select/reject the right patients on the basis of their medical history and they definitely do not have ability to deal with the potential side effects which can range from severe life-threatening anaphylactic reactions to simple over-correction or tissue necrosis, etc. Certain complications can challenge even the most skilled aesthetic doctors but they can then rely upon a network of other medical colleagues for guidance. However, beauticians simply do not have the ability to prescribe or indeed the general medical knowledge to effectively and safely deal with such medical complications. Moreover, most aesthetic medical practitioners would then be unwilling to take on clients/patients referred by these non-medical practitioners.
Unfortunately, there are increasing numbers of scare stories about things going wrong with these relatively new aesthetic procedures as they become more popular. However, if we are to continue using them more frequently, we must ensure that the public is adequately protected through perhaps a combination of self-regulation and also government involvement. One first step should be to follow the USA in only allowing medically qualified personnel to use these products because after all, they do have many more years of experience with them than we do in the UK.
