MPs on the House of Commons’ Health and Social Care Committee have warned about the dangers of a ‘conveyer belt’ approach to cosmetic procedures such as Botox and fillers, and called for more to be done to tackle the ‘wide-reaching’ impact on mental health caused by body image dissatisfaction.
“We heard of some distressing experiences – a conveyor belt approach with procedures carried out with no questions asked, procedures that have gone wrong, the use of filthy premises,” said chairman of the committee Jeremy Hunt, as a new report calls for change.
