Helping You Look & Feel Your Best
All patients enquiring about cosmetic enhancement need to be aware that there are new laws in New South Wales surrounding the use of prescription medications which are used for the purposes of cosmetic enhancement.
Dr Edward Or is a qualified medical practitioner and has the necessary licences and training to treat patients enquiring about minor cosmetic enhancement procedures in accordance with the law, once the consultation assessment is complete. We may also offer same day services for cosmetic patients.
The New Laws and How This Affects Cosmetic Patients
The new legislation in New South Wales (NSW) and the updated laws from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) have significantly impacted the availability and regulation of cosmetic enhancement and dermal fillers in Australia. NSW legislation now requires practitioners performing these procedures to hold specific qualifications and licensing, ensuring a higher standard of safety and clinical oversight.
This move aims to reduce the risks associated with cosmetic injections by mandating proper training, sterile practices, and accurate patient assessments before treatment. Additionally, legislation emphasises the importance of informed consent, where patients must be fully aware of potential risks and complications, fostering a safer environment for cosmetic procedures across the state.
Meanwhile, the TGA laws clarify the classification and regulation of products used for cosmetic enhancement and dermal fillers as restricted medicines, limiting their supply to registered healthcare professionals and prescribing physicians (specialists).
The TGA has implemented stricter controls on the importation, supply, and administration of these products to prevent misuse and unauthorised sales, especially through non-medical channels. These laws aim to ensure that treatments are provided by qualified practitioners only, reducing instances of unlicensed or unsafe procedures. Overall, these combined legal measures reinforce patient safety, promote professional accountability, and improve the quality standards within the cosmetic medicine industry in Australia.
