Calls for only medical professionals to administer cosmetic fillers
Calls for only medical professionals to administer cosmetic fillers
24 May 2019
A petition is calling for a review of the new Therapeutic Products Bill, as dermal fillers and lasers continue to be excluded from regulations.
There are no legal restrictions on who can use the fillers, resulting in an increase in the number of people receiving botched cosmetic procedures.
New Zealand Society of Cosmetic Medicine member, Dr Catherine Stone, hopes the Government will listen.
She says they want regulation so just medical professionals or people who are properly trained are able to use the dermal fillers.
