The Safety in Beauty Campaign
Announcing a leading expert advisory panel to highlight safe practice in the Beauty, Aesthetics and Cosmetic Surgery industries

Last month marked the three-year anniversary for the UK’s only independent non-commercial resource for victims of botched beauty and cosmetic procedures.
However, The Safety in Beauty Campaign reports that the industry is not an “inch safer than it was three years ago at the height of the PIP cosmetic breast implant scandal”

Campaign founder Antonia Mariconda stated;

“If anything, the industry is now actually worse than ever, with any Tom, Dick and Harriet jumping on the cosmetic cash lucrative commercial bandwagon”.

The Campaign, which has celebrated a number of significant milestones since its conception, has successfully managed to influence and change an increasingly worrying industry. With little regulation in place, members of the public are left vulnerable and without support or resource for when treatments and services are provided at a substandard level.

The Safety in Beauty Campaign was founded by Antonia Mariconda, a car crash victim and beauty writer who underwent 7 plastic surgery procedures herself.
She says;

“For three years we have worked tirelessly to protect the public from cosmetic cowboys, who are now rife in the industry, either unscrupulously flying in from abroad to cash in on the cosmetic boom of the last few years, or to undertake poor substandard, unregulated training in cosmetic injections and cash in on the lucrative sector.”

Reaching an all-time peak, the Campaign also reports an alarming rise in complaints submitted by the public in sectors including; lasers, aesthetic treatments, cosmetic tattooing, and fake beauty products and devices.

To mark the third year of activity, the Campaign announce their new expert advisory panel, featuring an impressive array of some of the UK’s most illustrious experts in beauty, aesthetics and cosmetic surgery industries. They all unite with one common objective – to crack down on the ‘cosmetic cowboys’ and to increase awareness of rogue activities.

Leading UK plastic surgeon, Norman Waterhouse, stated on behalf of the Campaign;

“The only way we can continue to safe-guard the public is to continue to create awareness of the safe ways to seek cosmetic enhancements, with reputable experienced medical professionals. We cannot drive this message enough, and we must continue to do so.”

The Campaign expert advisory panel features;
Norman Waterhouse – Specialist Plastic Surgeon
Ms Jonquille Chantrey – Cosmetic Surgeon and Medical Aesthetic Doctor
Dr. Stefanie Williams – Dermatologist
Mr Bessam Farjo – Hair Transplant Surgeon
