Superdrug to run mental health checks for patients seeking Botox and lip fillers

Superdrug to run mental health checks for patients seeking Botox and lip fillers Superdrug will offer mental health screening to customers who come in for cosmetic procedures such as lip fillers and Botox, in a move NHS officials hope will set a “higher bar” for the sector.

Customers seeking treatment will now be asked to complete a questionnaire developed by psychologists working in the field, and where issues are raised they will be directed to a GP or mental health groups.

The move is intended to help identify people who may have body dysmorphic disorder or other anxieties that experts say are flourishing on social media and driving more people to seek cosmetic procedures. The Independent
