Introduction
Welcome to the first issue of The Consulting Room Magazine for 2025.
In this issue, the focus is on safety and for good reason. The Consulting Room has joined forces with the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP) to launch a new initiative – Safety in Aesthetics.
The aim is to provide the public with all the information they need to make safe and informed decisions when choosing an aesthetic practitioner. Every clinic listed on the site is accredited, professionally trained, and properly insured, ensuring they prioritise patient well-being above profit. You can find out more on page 20.
Also, on the topic of safety, leading UK consultant surgeon Gerard Lambe asks how much is too much when it comes to aesthetic treatments (p6); Piroska Cavell explores the delicate balance between ageism and aesthetics in the light of movies like The Substance and The Last Showgirl (p30-31) and we explore the topic of remote prescribing (p24-25).
In addition, our CPD article for this month focuses on treating skin of colour (p60-63), and we find out how a new and innovative skin marker enhances safety (p53-55). We also have all the latest news (p6-10), and you can find out what events the team has attended since the start of the year (p12-16).
We hope you enjoy this issue.
