The British Government has decided that from October 1 "cosmetic" treatments with lasers and IPL should not be regulated and therefore do not with the quality of care Commission (CQC), and then have to pay VAT.
The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (nonprofit organization) has condemned the Ministry of Health (DOH) proposals to the laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) technology, when used to deregulate "aesthetic" (not medical)purposes.Most experienced professionals from the complete removal of the regulation for those who are not "health professionals" deal, and not this "disease, disorder or injury" to refuse.
In other words, the health workers were trained and organized into groups and use of IPL for rosacea and other medical conditions are both trained and regulated, but "health" on non-medical treatments to deliver and so can use the same Equipmentfor tattoo removal and skin rejuvenation (ie non-medical applications), without any regulation.
For the more cynical person, there may be an operation, said that the tax paid late invasive cosmetic deregulation in the fastest growing areas of the IPL and laser for tattoo removal, hair removal and alternatives.
The non-medical personnel are not provided as medical treatment and then the skin of the same equipment and tattoo removalRegeneration, or as a condition as purely cosmetic and not a doctor. It could be argued that treating all forms of skin rejuvenation, this treatment of skin lesions caused by aging or sun or UV damage, and then health professionals should not offer, but it is unclear who is actually responsible for the regulation of these types of laser and light treatments.
IPL can treat and remove unsightly rosaceaVaricose veins and birthmarks. This powerful technology can also unwanted hair from the body and reduce scarring and stretch marks, and therefore have a common non-surgical medical procedures.
IPL treatment (in the right hands) was a great success, but after deregulation, we now expect the horror stories about cooperatives with inadequate training and lack of experience, having invested in this unit, in the hope of hearing talk about "making money". If beauty salonscould buy "solar wheel" before the regulation, thousands of people are damaged. It is now expected to look for beauty salons "for profit" will be groped his luck in laser and IPL treatments
In September 2010, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) concern about the increase in the number of patients receiving appropriate treatment for the 'laser treatment failed. "Before deregulation," professional "had with the Association of Chartered Quality CareCommission (CQC) and follow strict guidelines, but "can always buy a laser for cosmetic purposes."
A case: -
A woman of 38 years went for hair removal. On her third visit she had stretch marks, and the therapist said the device could be treated equally. The lady had said that the treatment of stretch marks and had to go to A & E because of blisters, the doctors had "third-degree burns," as the therapist had the wrongInstitutions. The settings for hair removal are not the same for the removal of stretch marks!
It is estimated that there are 1000 licensed operators in the UK and last year (2009) were nearly 4,000 reports of adverse reactions or laser light treatment, deregulation and then increase the number of people suffering damage to one. Besides burns, the use of IPL by an inexperienced person permanent changes in pigmentation. If the eyecan not be worn on the right retina and blindness.
IPL uses different frequencies of light are aimed at different conditions of tissue and skin or skin, a shorter wavelength to influence. The red color of varicose veins, a higher wavelength (triggering) is used for hair removal. The two are completely separate and should not be confused or may incalculable damage. The understanding and management of this process is actually a highly specializedAlways an experienced physician.
Other factors that may not have a beauty salon appreciate:
the victim makes the skin more sensitive and thus more prone to anti-platelet drugs and blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, bruises and a number of diabetes medications may increase range of drugs can excessive influence on the response to skin treatments light and St . John alsoSensitivity.
Conclusion:
Regardless of whether the treatment you receive is classified as a doctor and not. Use an established clinical treatment for laser or IPL, deregulation is not that regulation is not necessary.
