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
As a qualified pharmacist clinician, Elvari Clinics operates with the highest standards of professionalism and patient safety. We have built our clinic on a foundation of:
Uniform protocols and robust operational policies, ensuring consistency and the highest quality of care.

Hands-on consultations, led by an accredited and experienced practitioner who consults face-to-face in well-controlled clinical settings.
Licensed and insured treatments, administered with rigour and guided by thorough training and ongoing professional development.
In essence, our standards are already aligned—and in many respects, exceed—the latest regulatory frameworks.
In Conclusion
These regulatory changes represent a pivotal moment for the aesthetics industry. They affirm the importance of qualified clinical practice, structured training, and patient protection—all values we uphold at Elvari Clinics.
