Poorly executed beauty and body treatments can cause infections, skin damage and blood contamination. Supervision of hygiene routines in businesses that offer these treatments are therefore necessary. A new law proposal suggests a clarification of aesthetic surgical procedures and injection treatments. The purpose of the study was to examine if the legislation that regulates businesses that offer other beauty and body treatments than the ones mentioned above needs to be clarified. This, to simplify the supervision for health inspectors. A poll was sent to all municipalities in Sweden and an interview was held with the National Board of Health and Welfare. There are uncertainties whether the Health and Social Care Inspectorate or the municipalities should supervise the hygiene routines of certain treatments which makes it difficult for the health inspectors to know when they are responsible for the supervision. The health inspectors would like to see a clarification in which businesses are covered by their supervision and what requirements can be imposed on business operators to achieve better hygiene routines. The market for new beauty and body treatments is constantly emerging. According to health inspectors, the new trends and treatments are especially difficult to handle, and they would like a clarification on how to manage these businesses as well. The regulations might not need to be defined in the shape of a new law, but how the health inspectors are supposed to interpret the law needs to be clarified in the guidelines from the National Board of Health and Welfare.
