The licensing regime for non-surgical cosmetic procedures in England is still taking shape. Sarah Clover of Kings Chambers examines where things stand, what is known, and what practitioners need to be watching.

What does the NLPF actually mean in practice, and how does it sit alongside existing legislation and guidance? IoL Patron Philip Kolvin KC of 11KBW shares his assessment.
