Non-surgical cosmetic procedures
Anyone considering having a non-surgical cosmetic procedure should carry out thorough research beforehand and be aware that there are serious health risks if things go wrong.
Non-surgical aesthetic procedures are currently unregulated, meaning people who are not medically trained can carry out procedures.
But the procedures still require a sterile clinical environment and should be performed in appropriate treatment rooms to reduce the risk of infections.
Practitioners should be trained and know what to do if there are complications.
Non-surgical cosmetic procedures may include:
- Botox or filler injections
- Microdermabrasion
- Chemical Peels
- Non-Surgical Laser Treatment (Laser Lipo and Laser Hair Removal)
- Thread-lifts
- Brazilian Butt Lift, BBL or Liquid BBL
Some people who’ve had these procedures have unfortunately experienced issues including excruciating pain and infections, which have required medical interventions and hospitalisation.
In September 2023 the government carried out a consultation around a national licensing scheme for some aesthetic procedures. View the list of procedures under review.

If you have concerns about a clinic or practitioner offering these services locally, or you’ve had complications following one of these procedures, please contact licensing@tewkesbury.gov.uk
