What is an Aesthetics Clinic?
This is a healthcare or non healthcare service which provides non surgical treatment to clients using a range of toxins (anti wrinkle), hyaluronic acid (facial fillers) to alter the natural structures of the skin
WHO CAN PROVIDE AESTHETIC TREATMENTS ?
​
Currently in the United Kingdom 'anyone' can provide these treatments although it is strongly advised that you choose ONLY TRAINED MEDICS - DOCTORS, DENTISTS, NURSES, PHARMACISTS - registered with GMC, NMC, GDC, GPhc and HCPC.
​
Currently 'non medics' (see above) can provide these treatments after a 1 day Course
​
Are Aesthetic Practitioners Licensed & Registered?
​
No.... there is currently no requirement for anyone practicing aesthetics to undertake this
​
All trained 'medics' (see above) are registered under their specific Registration - this is a national register who are there to protect the public and investigate any trained individual who is not working within their Code of Conduct .
​
There is no such thing for non medics - Medics therefore take more accountability & responsibility as we adhere to our Code of Conduct and potentially have the risk to lose our career.
​
Non medics are currently not be in this position and as there are no Registration Board to report them to and have a low risk of losing their career
