Verbatim
“concerns about the rise of unregulated pop-up clinics”
“At Babtac, we are very concerned about the rise of unregulated pop-up clinics on Harley Street offering cosmetic procedures. A major issue is the continued lack of enforceable regulation across the sector, leaving consumers exposed to serious risks, including physical complications, emotional distress, and an increasing burden on the NHS”
“With treatments becoming more accessible due to lower costs, decisions that should involve careful research are sometimes made more impulsively. Without enforceable standards, self-regulation leaves consumers exposed to harm and undermines the professionalism of the sector.”
