The Lagos State College of Health Technology has issued a strong advisory to students in its aesthetic medicine programme, urging strict compliance with professional ethics, safety standards, and industry best practices.
Provost of the College, Raheem Akewushola, gave the warning while receiving the 2025/2026 cohort of students for the final phase of their six-month training.
He emphasised that adherence to established standards is critical to ensuring safe practice and protecting the health of citizens, noting that the programme attracts participants from across Nigeria as part of efforts to standardise aesthetic medicine practice nationwide.
Akewushola commended the Course Coordinator, Felix Avajah, for his dedication to the programme, stressing that comprehensive training is essential to eliminate quackery and prevent harmful practices within the field.
He advised students to develop a thorough understanding of the human body, particularly the skin, which he described as the largest organ, as a foundation for professional competence.
The Provost also clarified that the College’s training strictly covers non-invasive procedures, warning that the institution does not authorise or support invasive surgeries or the use of injectables.
He added that the College would distance itself from any practitioner found engaging in procedures outside the scope of its training.
The advisory underscores LASCOHET’s commitment to promoting safe, ethical, and standardised healthcare practices in Lagos State and beyond.
