Great news, let’s hope that the rest of the U.K. follows suit.

MSPs have voted overwhelmingly to regulate non-surgical cosmetic procedures in Scotland, banning treatments for under-18s and requiring Botox and filler injections to be carried out by registered medical professionals.

Hopefully this will improve patients safety, and provide patients with knowledgeable, researched and evidence based treatment.
Aesthetics is an area of clinical medical practice, and as such should be performed by appropriately qualified and experienced medical professionals only.

In recent developments, the Scottish Parliament has agreed to the general principles of the Non-surgical Procedures and Functions of Medical Reviewers (Scotland) Bill.

The Bill is now progressing to Stage 2, allowing MSPs to submit amendments to the current principles. Any suggested amendments will be considered and debated at the meeting scheduled for 24 February 2026, before proceeding to the next stage.

In the final stage, any remaining amendments will be considered before Parliament votes on the Bill, with a simple majority required for it to pass.

A positive step forward. Let’s hope that in the future regulations prevent non medics from performing these high risk aesthetic procedures.

Today the Scottish Parliament's Health Social Care and Sport Committee recommended that the Scottish Parliament agree to the general principles of the Non-surgical Procedures and Functions of Medical Reviewers (Scotland) Bill.

The Bill, proposed in October last years, aims to regulate the non-surgical cosmetic procedures industry, following growing concerns surrounding the rise of botched procedures that risk patient safety.

The recommendations highlights concerns surrounding professional support and guidance, lack of clarity around requirements for clinical supervision for procedures covered by the Bill, and a call for stronger sanctions to ensure that irresponsible practitioners are suitably punished.

“Our Committee believes patient safety must always come first and that’s why we are supportive of this Bill which will provide much needed regulation of the non-surgical procedures industry,” shares the health, social care and sport committee convener, Clare Haughey.

📢 Patient Safety Comes First!

We’re glad to see ITV highlighting the serious risks of non-regulated aesthetic treatments.

At BCAM, we’ve been calling for:

✅ Mandatory regulation
✅ Robust training standards
✅ Practitioner accountability

Why? Because non-regulated treatments can lead to complications and poor outcomes – and patient safety must always be the priority.

Always choose a qualified, medically trained practitioner and check credentials through recognized professional bodies like BCAM.
