THE Main Credentialing and Privileging Committee of Aesthetic Medical Practice which consists of doctors from the Health Ministry’s Medical Practice Division, aesthetic medical practitioners, dermatologists and plastic surgeons has been tasked to regulate aesthetic medical practices in Malaysia.
To ensure public safety and to uphold professional standards, a set of guidelines on Aesthetic Medical Practice was developed and implemented in June 2013. With the implementation of these guidelines only medical practitioners with LCP (Letter of Credentialing and Privileging) are allowed to carry out aesthetic medical procedures.
These procedures should also be performed in a licensed medical facility equipped with sterilised equipment and an emergency trolley. They should not be performed in a beauty centre or a person’s home. One can’t exactly bake a cake in a garage!
