ROGUE THERAPISTS: Sarah Healey and Ashton Collins Discuss the Dangers of Unregulated Aesthetics

Imagine having unlicensed toxins injected into your face by someone with no training. That's what is happening across the UK every day - with disastrous  results. Nurse Practitioner Sarah Healey and Ashton Collins from campaign group Save Face join me to discuss the alarming lack of regulation in the booming non-surgical aesthetics industry.

Hear how unscrupulous beauticians are buying unlicensed products from overseas and injecting unwitting consumers with saline, beef gelatine and other products.

Sarah, who's been shortlisted for a Safety In Beauty Award, gives us a first-hand account of the process she follows when dealing with patients seeking injectable treatments and the risks they pose. We also discuss how social media and reality TV have played their role in escalating the demand amongst the young, and why it's more important than ever to ensure you're in the hands of a suitably trained and certified practitioner. So, tune in, as we end with a discussion around the current standards in aesthetic treatments and how to ensure your safety in this rapidly growing industry.

In loving memory of my friend Sarah, who died suddenly on 6th November 2023, and who always  believed in doing the right thing.
