## Key points

- MPs say cosmetic treatment rules leave consumers exposed to harm.
- High-risk filler procedures should be limited to qualified professionals.
- Government proposals include licensing and treatment restrictions.

## Summary

MPs say regulation of cosmetic treatments and beauty products has not kept pace with their rapid growth, leaving people exposed to avoidable harm. A Commons committee has called for urgent safeguards, including restricting high-risk injectable procedures to appropriately qualified medical professionals.

The report cites accounts of chemical burns, scarring and infections, and warns that children are increasingly exposed to products promoted on social media. It says untrained people are performing Liquid Brazilian Butt Lifts and Liquid Boob Jobs, while online marketplaces can bring dangerous or illegal products to UK consumers. Government proposals include restricting some high-risk treatments and introducing licensing for lower-risk procedures such as Botox and lip fillers.
