The complete absence of regulation of non-surgical beauty treatments, such as botox-style injections and fillers, is dangerous and must urgently change, say MPs.
After a year-long review, they claim the government has left the industry to regulate itself, despite concerns regularly raised by many within the sector.
Recommendations include mandatory training for all practitioners.
Patient Safety Minister Nadine Dorries says she will review the report.
The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Beauty, Aesthetics and Wellbeing, says that while demand for non-surgical procedures has exploded in recent years, the UK government has failed to keep up - with aesthetic training courses almost entirely unregulated.
