For BBC Three, I produced, self-shot and directed this undercover investigation exposing unregulated training courses in the UK aesthetics industry and the risks they posed to patients.

The investigation used undercover and covert filming to expose dangerous practices within the industry. The story was subsequently adapted across BBC platforms, including BBC News at Six, BBC Breakfast, national radio, podcast, digital and social, and received widespread national press coverage.

The documentary was selected as a Sky Top Pick and Top Suggested on Apple TV, and its findings contributed to the wider scrutiny of the aesthetics industry ahead of new protections restricting cosmetic fillers for under-18s.
