Formal Voting For European Non-Surgical CEN Standard
For several years now work has been developing on a draft Non-Surgical Standard for the European aesthetics sector with input from UK clinical experts and patient representatives.
The Non-Surgical Standard draft has now reached final voting stage within CEN, the European Committee for Standardisation.
If passed, the Non-Surgical Standard “FprEN 16844 – Aesthetic Medicine Services – Non-Surgical Medical Procedures” is expected to be published by Q3 2016.

Cosmetic Treatment Regulation in England
The issue of non-regulation or poor regulation of cosmetic surgery and treatments is one which is continually in the news in the UK, as despite reports and recommendations, there is as yet no system in place as yet for registration of cosmetic treatment providers in England or minimum qualifications for carrying out treatments.
As members of the EU (for now anyway) the UK would be subject to any EU level requirements.
