Aesthetics in Worthing just got Safer: What the New UK Regulations Mean for You

If you’ve been considering Botox or dermal fillers, you may have seen headlines about new UK regulations coming into force in 2025. These changes are designed to make aesthetic treatments safer, more consistent, and better regulated — and at Blue Bird Aesthetics in Worthing, we’re proud to say we already meet and exceed these standards.

🩺 What’s Changing in 2025?

The UK government has introduced new rules to protect patients and raise industry standards. Here’s what they mean for you:

• Injectables must be performed by trained, insured, and licensed professionals.
  Treatments like Botox and dermal fillers will now fall under local authority licensing — ensuring only qualified practitioners can deliver them.

• Face-to-face consultations are now mandatory for every Botox appointment.
  Not just the first one. This guarantees proper medical assessment each time. At Blue Bird Aesthetics, this has always been our standard.

• Under-18s are protected from high-risk cosmetic procedures.
  These treatments will only be allowed with approval from a healthcare professional but I am afraid this will always be a firm no at Blue Bird Aesthetics

💉 Why It Matters

Unfortunately, the rise of unqualified providers has led to serious complications — from infections to hospital admissions. These new laws are a vital step toward protecting patients and ensuring that aesthetic medicine is treated with the same care and professionalism as any other medical procedure.

Botox isn’t just a beauty treatment — it’s a prescription-only medicine. And it deserves to be treated that way.

✅ What This Means for You at Blue Bird Aesthetics

The good news? Nothing changes for our patients — because we’ve always put safety first.

• All treatments are carried out personally by Dr Amber Halliday, a GMC-registered medical doctor and independent prescriber.

• We are fully insured, licensed, and only use UK-approved, premium products.

• Every client receives a comprehensive, face-to-face consultation before treatment, with clear aftercare support.

• No third-party prescribers. No rushed decisions. Just honest, medical advice tailored to you.

In short: you’re already in safe hands.

🎯 Thinking About Treatment?

As of 1st June 2025, only qualified prescribers — like doctors, dentists, and some nurses — can assess and consult for Botox. At Blue Bird Aesthetics, your consultation is carried out by a medical doctor, meaning if treatment is suitable, we can proceed safely and legally — all in one appointment.

💰 The consultation is at no extra charge, and your £50 deposit is fully redeemable against treatments in clinic.

⭐️ If you’re starting, restarting, or reviewing your Botox plan — come see us. We’re committed to helping you achieve natural-looking enhancements that bring out your inner confidence and leave you feeling revitalised.
