Welcoming New Aesthetic Regulation

Welcoming New Aesthetic Regulation: Your Safety is Our Top Priority

At Elvari Clinics— our clinic is led by a pharmacist clinician and backed by strong operational protocols - we wholeheartedly welcome recent regulatory advances in the UK aesthetics industry.

1. Responsible, Qualified Practice: A National Shift

The UK government has introduced a tiered licensing system to regulate non-surgical cosmetic procedures:

  • High‑risk treatments, such as non‑surgical Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs), will only be carried out by qualified healthcare professionals in CQC-registered premises.

  • Anti-wrinkle treatments, fillers, and lower-risk injectables must now comply with local authority licensing, which includes stringent criteria around training, hygiene, insurance, and operational standards.

  • Minors under 18 will be banned from undergoing high-risk procedures unless authorised by a healthcare professional.

2. Face-to-Face First: Prescribing with Caution

As of 1 June 2025, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) mandates that all prescribers must conduct in-person consultations before issuing prescriptions for non-surgical cosmetic treatments like anti-wrinkle injections or emergency aesthetic kits, effectively banning remote prescribing. 

3. Urgent Action: Tackling Danger from Unregulated Providers

Authorities have raised alarms over procedures carried out in unsafe settings—public toilets, hotel rooms, pop-up clinics - and the use of low-cost, unregulated products. These unlicensed practices have caused illnesses such as botulism and serious injuries.

Why Elvari Clinics Stands Apart

In essence, our standards are already aligned—and in many respects, exceed—the latest regulatory frameworks.
