I agree that more regulations are needed but I do think it's all been handled very unfairly for Nurses who are often highly specialised in facial aesthetics and yet, because they're not Doctors, they've been shoehorned with non-medical practitioners such as "luck-trying" beauty therapists.
Remote Consultations were hugely sensationalised as being inappropriate, following the lines that Nurses are somehow incapable of making informed, medical decisions without the presence of a Doctor. Certainly in my vast experience of medical treatments (both beauty related and non-beauty related) I've always had a lot more faith in the Nurses I've been treated by than the Doctors, so I think it's very sad that yet again, the hard work and medical knowledge of Nurses and Nurse Practitioners has been stepped on by the all-powerful Doctors who were mostly just annoyed that they weren't able to monopolise the lucrative market of cosmetic aesthetics.
It's a good point.. there's no guarantee that even a qualified doctor will have the aesthetic taste to make your face look good.. for botox etc it's such a question of understanding what the patient wants and having the skill to implement that in an appropriate way.. it's an art really.
If I am correct there will eventually be a botox cream/lotion will be interesting to know who can administer this.. Yes, it should be someone properly trained to do beauty treatments as well.. All too often people choose a bargain.. and never ask who is actually going to do the treatment. I've just qualified, as a beautician, and from my training we learn who to treat and who not to. Also if a treatment goes wrong.. sometimes people react. Also beauticians etc can be sued, so if you have had a bad treatment.. do complain.
Personally I think there needs to be a doctor on site, no remote prescriptions done. I don't have a problem with a nurse administering it but it would be great if there could be a register of qualified nurses who specialise in cosmetic procedures such as Botox.

But that's just my opinion :) xx

As for the price issue, we all need to remember: if it seems too good to be true, it generally is! Do your homework and don't just go for thé cheapest option x
