Regulations not followed by wrinkle fillers and more

According to a UK review that happened on cosmetic procedures, injections to plump up the skin are a crisis waiting to happen.

Lasting harm can be caused by dermal fillers that are covered by same level of regulations.

Companies often put profits ahead of care in the cosmetic surgery and with this the cosmetic surgery had been `trivialised', as stated by the review.

There are certain measures as recommended by the review in order to protect patients well.

There is a boom in the cosmetic procedures industry and this ranges from breast implants to fillers. The worth of cosmetic industry in 2005 was £750m in the UK, in 2010 this reached £2.3bn and by 2015, it is expected to reach £3.6bn.

The pace however has not been followed by the regulations and patients have been left vulnerable due to this.

Non-surgical procedures are witnessing the maximum growth to take care of wrinkles, laser removal and Botox and this area has been considered as `almost entirely unregulated'.

The procedures need specialized expertise but they were being treated as having a lunchtime hairdressers' appointment and visiting common beauty parties.
