14th SEPT 2010 - Important information for current and future patients regarding IHAS Cosmetic Register You may have heard the debate about the lauch of a Quality Assurance Mark for Cosmetic Providers by the Independent Health Advisory Service. Or even heard it being advertised in the media as "A Government supported scheme to clamp down on Botox Cowboys" Although we have actively sought for a reformed regulation mechanism we have given this due consideration and we will not be entering the voluntary scheme as we feel it will not provide the answer. The register will not stop poor practice but is rather a marketing ploy with a huge PR budget. We urge current and future patients not to soley rely on Logo's/Marks to prove a Practitioners area of expertise. We urge the public to research Practitioners own individual cosmetic experience and qualifications, how long they have been actively prescribing and administering treatments and with whom they hold their Cosmetic Medical Malpractice Insurance. We maintain to hold a close link with The Consulting Room, the Industrys leading Aesthetic Support Website. They have verified our Practitioners are registered with all the respective Medical Bodies and confirm our specialist qualifications. We will continue to lobby for effective and vigorous regulation, sadly this new Cosmetic Register is not it. For more information please read: 1. Treatments You Can Trust Launches to the Public but BAAPS Condemns it as State Sponsored Marketing
