UK Health Officials Urge Botox and Filler Screening for Body Dysmorphia

The guidance, covered by The Telegraph, The Sun, and The Independent, calls for mandatory mental health screening before any cosmetic treatment, as experts describe the industry as 'out of control' with unqualified practitioners and rising complications.
