UK cracks down on 'cowboy clinics' with new rules on cosmetic procedures
High-risk treatments like Brazilian butt lifts and vampire facials to be restricted to qualified healthcare professionals

The move follows the death of Alice Webb after a liquid Brazilian butt lift and safety alerts over 'vampire facials'.
