Regulation of non-surgical cosmetic procedures: Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment
Overview
In June 2025 we published our response to the consultation on the regulation of non-surgical cosmetic procedures that we ran from December 2024 to February 2025.
The response paper contains information on the feedback we received in the consultation and our revised proposals. The Scottish Government would like to know how you think these revised proposals will affect your business. Your responses to these questions will be used to inform a Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment.
