The UK government has unveiled new plans to regulate the aesthetics industry, targeting unsafe practices that have left patients injured, scarred or requiring urgent NHS care. Under the proposed measures, only qualified healthcare professionals will be allowed to perform the most high-risk procedures, including non-surgical Brazilian butt lifts. These treatments must take place in Care Quality Commission registered clinics.

Lower-risk procedures such as Botox and lip fillers will come under a local authority licensing scheme. Practitioners will be required to meet strict standards in training, hygiene and insurance. Enforcement will include penalties for those operating outside the new rules. The changes follow widespread concern over unqualified individuals delivering invasive treatments in homes, hotels and unregulated clinics.

Health Minister Karin Smyth said the industry has long operated like a Wild West, with countless horror stories of harm caused by rogue practitioners. “This government is taking action to protect those seeking treatments, support honest and competent practitioners, and root out the cowboys as part of our Plan for Change,” she said. “This isn’t about stopping anyone from getting treatments. It’s about preventing rogue operators from exploiting people at the expense of their safety.”

The government will prioritise regulating the highest-risk procedures first, with a public consultation expected early next year. These steps form part of a broader commitment to raise standards, reduce NHS costs, and ensure that both patients and reputable professionals are protected.

, ‘s modern country house hotel located in the heart of Berkshire, has launched its reimagined spa. Designed to work in harmony with the surrounding countryside, The Spa at Coworth Park offers a slower, deeply intuitive wellness experience, for guests of the hotel, spa members, and visitors to enjoy.

Set within the 240-acres of countryside at Coworth Park, the spa with views over the wildflower meadow has been thoughtfully redesigned to reflect its natural setting. Light-filled spaces, soft textures and nature-inspired design create an atmosphere of calm and quiet elegance, while a renewed focus on holistic wellbeing ensures each guest experience feels bespoke and restorative.

Responding to a growing desire for thermal rituals, the spa’s wet facilities now include a poolside thermal experience featuring a Finnish sauna, citrine-lined steam room and snow shower. The gym has been expanded and reimagined as a space for both energy and clarity, equipped with the UK’s first Luxury Artis line. A Technogym Checkup station supports personalised wellbeing through intelligent testing of strength, mobility, balance and more, offering a tailored foundation for every fitness journey.

Eight refreshed treatment rooms, named after Coworth Park’s diverse flora, offer a menu of bespoke treatments in partnership with , and . A new 360-degree consultation process, combined with personalised soundscapes, ensures each treatment feels deeply attuned to the individual.

It’s the silent pause in a busy facial, the few minutes a mask takes to work its magic. The temptation is real: slip out, check your phone, sort the next appointment. But what if we told you that staying put is the ultimate power move for your business? Here’s why the chicest therapists never leave their clients’ side.

In the beauty industry we’re obsessed with the latest ingredients, cutting-edge technology, and perfecting our technique. We talk endlessly about the glow-up, the transformation, the flawless finish. But what about the moments in between? Those quiet minutes when the client is marinating under an LED lamp or a setting mask can feel like dead time. A chance to quickly restock or deal with front-of-house admin. It seems harmless, right? A minute or two is nothing.

Think again. In today’s hyper-aware, luxury-focused market, that quiet moment is where the true magic or the biggest misstep happens. Leaving a client alone isn’t just a missed opportunity; it’s a risk that can unravel the trust you’ve worked so hard to build.

The latest trend to dot your feed? Quite literally, polka dot nails. This playful, vintage-inspired manicure is officially summer’s breakout star, showing up on the fingertips of Hailey Bieber, Dua Lipa, and Sabrina Carpenter. Whether glazed, rhinestoned, or painted in punchy pastels, polka dots are popping up in every possible variation, from minimalist accents to full-blown retro statements. Nail artists are embracing the versatility, mixing black and white classics with cherry red combos or soft blush-on-blush looks. It’s the perfect crossover of fashion and beauty, echoing the season’s obsession with dotted dresses and 60s nostalgia. Call it the mani equivalent of a lemon sorbet: refreshing, sweet, and a little bit cheeky.

Many salon professionals have heard clients insist that their natural nails need to “breathe” between manicures. It’s a common refrain: “I’ll skip polish this week to let my nails breathe.” As well-intentioned as this advice sounds, it’s actually a myth. Nails don’t breathe – at least, not in the way people think. Let’s dive into the science of nail physiology, debunk the “nail breathing” misconception, and explain why products like gel polish and nail polish do not inherently damage the nail when used correctly. We’ll also explore how improper techniques, not the products themselves, are usually to blame for nail damage.

Understanding Nail Physiology

To understand why nails don’t need to “breathe,” we first need to understand what nails are. The hard part of the nail, the nail plate, is made mostly of a tough protein called keratin. In fact, fingernails and toenails are composed of the same type of keratin found in hair, claws, and hooves. Importantly, the nail plate is not living tissue; it’s a hardened sheet of dead keratinocytes with no nerves or blood supply. The natural nail plate is not living; it does not breathe. This is why cutting your nails doesn’t cause pain or bleeding, similar to getting a haircut.

Since the nail plate itself isn’t alive, it doesn’t require oxygen from the air. Any living parts of the nail, such as the nail matrix (where new nail cells are generated) and the nail bed (the skin beneath the plate), get their oxygen and nutrients from the bloodstream, not from the outside environment. Nails derive oxygen and nutrients from the blood supply and not the air. In other words, nails don’t “breathe” through exposure to air; they are fed from within.

It’s worth noting that nails are slightly porous. They can absorb a bit of water or oils from products, but this isn’t “breathing” in a metabolic sense. Even so-called “breathable” polishes are more of a marketing gimmick than a biological necessity. If nails truly needed direct access to air, wearing nail polish or extensions for weeks on end would be impossible, yet we know nails continue to grow just fine under a coating.

A new report from Swiss aesthetics brand reveals a sharp rise in interest among UK men seeking non-surgical cosmetic procedures, with an estimated 5.2 million now considering dermal filler treatment.

The Aesthetics & The Modern Man Report explores shifting perceptions of masculinity, ageing and self-image, showing that demand for injectable treatments is no longer limited to female patients. According to the findings, 49 percent of men aged 18 to 70 said they would be open to dermal fillers, and nearly one in four men under 35 have already had a cosmetic injectable.

The research also sheds light on changing attitudes within male grooming. Over half of respondents said they feel pressure to maintain a youthful appearance, and 38 percent of men reported feeling less confident due to signs of facial ageing. For many, dermal fillers represent a discreet solution. Jawline definition, under-eye hollowing and nasolabial folds were among the top concerns cited by male participants.

Teoxane, known for its hyaluronic acid-based fillers, conducted the research to better understand the motivations and barriers men face when considering aesthetic treatment. The report highlights a growing openness to cosmetic enhancement but also underlines a lack of targeted education and communication. Almost 60 percent of respondents said they did not feel aesthetics marketing spoke to them directly.

Despite the growing number of injectable products on the market, only seven botulinum toxin type A formulations are currently licensed by The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for aesthetic use in the UK. Each has undergone rigorous evaluation for safety, quality and efficacy. For practitioners, the real point of interest lies in how these products differ in formulation, clinical behaviour and treatment outcomes.

These are:

Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA)
Azzalure (abobotulinumtoxinA)
Bocouture (incobotulinumtoxinA)
Alluzience (relabotulinumtoxinA)
Nuceiva (prabotulinumtoxinA)
Letybo (letibotulinumtoxinA)
Relfydess (relabotulinumtoxinA)

Carbonated water has become an unexpected yet scientifically grounded addition to professional facial treatments. What began as a K-beauty trend has gained global interest, not only for its refreshing feel but also for its documented effects on skin cleansing, circulation and oxygen delivery. Behind the bubbles lies a cascade of physiological mechanisms that enhance skin health, particularly when tied to the Bohr effect.

Skin-Friendly pH and Effective Cleansing

Sparkling water naturally sits at a pH of about 5.5, which matches the skin’s acid mantle. This contrasts with tap water, which tends to be closer to neutral or slightly alkaline. Cleansing with carbonated water helps preserve the skin barrier and supports microbiome balance, unlike more alkaline cleansers that can raise the pH and strip the skin of protective lipids.

The effervescence also plays a mechanical role. Carbon dioxide bubbles agitate the skin’s surface and help dislodge dirt, oil and debris from pores. In spa settings, therapists often soak cotton pads in sparkling water or use it as a rinse following enzymatic exfoliation. The bubbling action lifts impurities gently, providing a form of micro-exfoliation without chemical agents.

Clients often report visibly refined pores and smoother texture after just one treatment. These outcomes are not anecdotal flukes. The bubbling acts as a mild astringent and cleanser that enhances the overall skin finish, without triggering dryness.

The Scottish Government has published its formal response to the public consultation on the regulation and licensing of non-surgical cosmetic procedures, confirming it will introduce legislation aimed at improving safety and oversight in the aesthetics sector.

Following detailed feedback from over 2,200 respondents, the government will move ahead with a dual licensing system and a three-tier classification of procedures based on risk. The regulatory framework will be introduced through both secondary and primary legislation during the current session of Parliament.

Three-tier procedure classification

The finalised model maintains the proposal to group procedures by risk and clinical complexity:

Group 1: Lower-risk procedures such as microneedling and superficial chemical peels. These will be permitted in licensed premises regulated by local authorities, with mandatory licences for both the premises and the practitioner. Clinics regulated by Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS) will be exempt from these requirements.

Group 2: Intermediate-risk procedures, including mesotherapy and injections of toxins or semi-permanent fillers. These must be performed in HIS-regulated clinical settings, either by healthcare professionals or by trained non-healthcare practitioners working under direct supervision. Supervision requires a qualified professional to assess the client’s suitability and remain on-site during the procedure.

Group 3: Higher-risk interventions such as deep peels, platelet-rich plasma injections, thread lifting, and lipolysis injections. These will only be allowed in HIS-regulated settings and must be carried out by an appropriately trained healthcare professional.
