One of the recommendations proposed in the new guidelines is that local councils consider providing sharps boxes for people to dispose of used needles and syringes.

Rajiv Grover, consultant plastic surgeon and president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), said: "Due to the lack of regulation in the cosmetic sector it is impossible to know how many patients could be at risk of blood borne diseases from needle sharing with either Botox or fillers.

"These should be considered medical procedures and BAAPS has campaigned for over a decade to have this field of non-surgical cosmetic treatments tightly regulated. The dangers of sharing needles in cosmetic injectables are so great that any practitioner who does this should be considered guilty of a criminal offence and nothing less."

据英国广播公司9月24日报道，英国国家卫生医疗质量标准署（NICE）称，如今，越来越多的人在家或沙龙注射鞣剂、真皮填充剂和肉毒素，但是很多人忽视了卫生问题，而共用针头有可能传染艾滋病和乙肝之类的血源性疾病。

我们都知道，注射海洛因和合成类固醇之类药物的人容易传染这些血源性疾病，但是据NICE了解，追求美容、采取修复治疗的人也处于此类风险之中。为此，他们正在为英格兰和威尔士修改指导方针，并向公众征求对修改草案的意见，其目的是鼓励人们使用无菌针头和注射器，阻止传染病的传播。
