The CCR Expo (Clinical, Cosmetic and Reconstructive) which was held a couple of weeks ago in London is one of the biggest cosmetic surgery and aesthetics industry events worldwide. They recently commissioned a series of surveys to find out the opinions of aesthetics practitioners, GPs, dentists and women (as they represent 90% of aesthetic patients).
Out of over 70 cosmetic practitioners which included doctors, surgeons, dermatologists and nurses almost 9/10 felt that there are far too many providers of non-surgical treatments who are not properly trained, and are damaging the reputation of those who are credible. Over a third of these doctors and nurses felt that new practitioners lacked knowledge of facial anatomy, and 87% felt these badly-trained providers are putting the public in danger. In a survey of 500 women, 18% said they would not go ahead with a cosmetic treatment primarily because they were wary of ‘botched’ treatments as seen in the media and not knowing where to go for a safe treatment.
MATA Courses was created by plastic surgeons experienced in facial aesthetics to provide the highest level of aesthetics training and improve safety for patients. Our courses are led by tutors who are the best in their fields and ensure as much ‘hands on’ practical experience as possible.
