So, how does pushing non-medical Independent Aesthetic Practitioners out of the industry make money for specific groups and brands?
Here is a breakdown:
Make it Exclusive = Charge More.
When only doctors and nurses are allowed to do treatments, it creates a "prestige" bubble.
👉 Fewer people = more power to charge higher prices.
It becomes a "private club", and clients pay more for access.
Kick Out the Competition
By removing non-medics, there are fewer clinics and educators in the market.
👉 This means less choice for consumers and more control for the elite few.
They get to decide who trains, what it costs, and what's considered "safe."
Milk the Medical Practitioners
Medical professionals are seen as high-spending customers:
They'll buy the full range, including machines, products, training, and everything.
They'll sign up for expensive "approved" training and use only endorsed products.
👉 Non-medics disrupt this because they're savvy shoppers. They do more with less and don't just blindly follow brands.
Regulations Become Business Tools
When the JCCP and BAMAN help shape regulation to say "only medics allowed"…
👉 The brands that sponsor them win the market automatically.
They no longer have to compete. They have to be the chosen supplier for a smaller group of approved professionals.
Keep It All in the Family
The people behind these groups are often connected —
They become Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), sit on "advisory panels," and then magically appear as the face of a brand or training.
👉 Behind the scenes? They're being paid as consultants, speakers, and "experts."
It's a loop, a profitable one.
🧠What's Really Going On?
It's not about "safety."
This entire endeavour is about creating a closed shop where a handful of people and brands control the whole industry, and everyone else is forced out.
🧾 Quick Glossary:
Medical Monopoly – When only medics can offer treatments, blocking everyone else out.
Conflict of Interest – When someone helps make the rules and gets paid for the outcome.
JCCP – A lobbying group pretending to be a neutral register or "charity" funded by medical suppliers and insurers who are threatened by Korean research and development.
BAMAN – Another "independent" group with almost identical sponsors, working alongside the JCCP to create the same exclusive outcomes. With this strong intertwinement and affiliation, it means that the JCCP is not independent or neutral, especially since BAMAN has imposed a blanket ban on prescribing to non-medics, even face-to-face, which is not acceptable to the NMC. Note that BAMAN members have had a strong influence on Scottish gov policy even beyond their scope. This creates conflicts of interest everywhere.
The JCCP and BAMAN aren't about fairness or safety. It's a medical monopoly; its members stand to gain significantly financially from the policies they promote.
They are backed by brands that profit when the rules change to exclude non-medics.
The fewer people allowed in, the more money those left standing make.
It's about profit. It always has been.
