CSA stands for the Clinical Standards Authority for Non-Surgical Cosmetic Interventions (CSA).
This group was created in 2016 with the objective of improving patient safety in non-surgical cosmetic treatments, but the full launch is anticipated in April 2017.
What Organisations are in the CSA?
The CSA is currently made up of the following:
- British Association of Dermatologists (BAD)
- British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS)

What is the Role of the CSA?
The role of the Clinical Standards Authority for Non-Surgical Cosmetic Interventions is to:
- Set standards and a code of conduct that all practitioners must adhere to
- Lead evidence-based research
- Scan the horizon for new therapies to mitigate risk
- Collect data on activity and adverse events
- Collaborate with stakeholders such as JCCP
- Advise regulatory bodies including:
- Department of Health (DoH),
- The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA),
