The Lagos State College of Health Technology (LASCOHET) has issued a strong advisory to students in aesthetic medicine, urging strict adherence to professional standards and safety practices.
Eko Hot News reports that the Provost of the College, Raheem Akewushola, gave the warning while welcoming the 2025/2026 cohort of students to the final phase of their six-month training programme. He stressed the importance of applying knowledge gained during their studies responsibly.
Akewushola emphasised that maintaining high standards in aesthetic medicine is essential to ensuring safe and effective practice. He urged students to remain committed to professional ethics and uphold the values of the institution in their careers.
He explained that LASCOHET’s decision to admit students from across Nigeria reflects its mission to standardise aesthetic medicine practices nationwide. According to him, the diversity of participants strengthens the goal of building a unified and regulated system.
The Provost also commended the Course Coordinator, Felix Avajah, for his dedication to the programme. He noted that consistent training and mentorship are vital in shaping competent practitioners in the field.
Akewushola highlighted the need for in-depth education to eliminate unqualified individuals from the practice. He stated that proper training helps protect the public and promotes trust in aesthetic healthcare services.
He advised students to develop a strong understanding of human anatomy, particularly the skin, which plays a central role in aesthetic treatments. According to him, such knowledge is crucial for delivering safe and effective results.
The Provost further clarified that the College’s training focuses strictly on non-invasive procedures. He made it clear that LASCOHET does not provide training on invasive surgeries or injectable treatments.
Akewushola warned that the institution would distance itself from any practitioner found engaging in procedures outside the scope of its training. He reiterated that compliance with guidelines is necessary to maintain professional credibility.
The advisory reinforces LASCOHET’s commitment to improving healthcare standards in Lagos State. It also reflects the broader effort to ensure that aesthetic medicine practitioners operate within clearly defined professional boundaries.
Students were encouraged to remain disciplined, continuously improve their skills, and represent the College positively in their professional journeys. The institution expressed confidence that the training will contribute to safer and more reliable aesthetic practices across the country.
