Regulation of non-surgical cosmetic procedures

We propose that Group 1 will contain those procedures which carry the lowest level of risk, are the least invasive, and which we propose can be safely carried out by a trained and licensed practitioner who is not a healthcare professional.

We propose that Group 1 procedures can be undertaken in either a licensed premises or a HIS regulated setting. These questions invite you to consider procedures that we propose to include in group 1. For each procedure you are invited to consider which group you believe the procedure belongs to, and whether:

• the procedure can be carried out in a licensed premises or HIS regulated setting, (Group 1 - Our recommendation for these procedures)
• only in a HIS regulated setting, (Group 2) or
• in a HIS regulated setting and only by an appropriate healthcare professional. (Group 3)

Individual procedures are described in more detail in the glossary in Annex B of the background paper, but if you do not know what a procedure involves you may wish to select ‘Don’t know’.

Listed below are procedures which we propose belong in group 1. For each procedure please select which group you think is most appropriate.

We propose that Group 2 will contain procedures which carry a higher level of risk, and are more invasive than those in Group 1. We propose that Group 2 procedures should only be undertaken in a HIS regulated premises. We propose they can be safely carried out by a trained practitioner who is not a healthcare professional, but such practitioners should be supervised by an appropriate healthcare professional.

These questions invite you to consider procedures that we propose to include in group 2. For each procedure you are invited to consider which group you believe the procedure belongs to, and therefore whether:

• the procedure can be carried out in a licensed premises or HIS regulated setting,
• only in a HIS regulated setting, or
• in a HIS regulated setting and only by an appropriate healthcare professional.

Individual procedures are described in more detail in the glossary in Annex B of the background paper but if you do not know what a procedure involves you may wish to select ‘Don’t know’.

Listed below are procedures which we propose belong in Group 2. For each procedure please select which group you think is most appropriate.

We propose that Group 3 will contain the procedures which carry the highest levels of risk and which are more invasive than Group 1 or 2 procedures. We propose that, as well as being undertaken in a HIS regulated premises, these procedures should always be undertaken by an appropriate healthcare professional.

These questions invite you to consider procedures that we propose to include in group 3. For each procedure you are invited to consider which group you believe the procedure belongs to, and therefore whether:

• the procedure can be carried out in a licensed premises or HIS regulated setting,
• only in a HIS regulated setting, or
• in a HIS regulated setting and only by an appropriate healthcare professional.
