Scotland’s Zoom Boom has triggered a botched plastic surgery epidemic…
As of 1 October 2021, England saw change to prevent the administration of Botox or Fillers in under 18-year-olds. What’s more, England should expect further regulation following the recent conclusion of the APPG Inquiry into non-surgical cosmetic procedures.
In Scotland, there is no such equivalent law, but it is an indication that cosmetic medicine is becoming more regulated. In both England and Scotland, implementation of the licensing recommendations is likely to influence change that will impact on insurers and brokers, and it will be important that they keep up to date with these changes.
In this webinar, we will discuss this growing area of personal injury in the cosmetic surgery industry, from a pursuer and defender perspective, and the plans for regulation of the industry.
