Regulation in Aesthetics: Why It Matters

The aesthetics industry in the UK remains largely unregulated. This means that, in many cases, treatments can be carried out by individuals without formal medical training, accountability, or standards of practice.

At Avismo Aesthetics, we hold ourselves to a higher standard.

• Karen is regulated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and is also an independent prescriber, meaning she can assess, prescribe, and manage treatments safely.
• Lorna is regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), ensuring her practice is held to rigorous healthcare standards.
• Andrea is a registered nurse, also regulated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

What does this mean for our clients?

• We are accountable to professional governing bodies.
• We must follow strict clinical standards and ethical codes of conduct.
• We complete ongoing training and professional development.
• We uphold the same duty of care that applies in medical practice.
• All prescription-only treatments are prescribed safely and appropriately, with your wellbeing as the priority.

This level of regulation provides our clients with reassurance, knowing their treatments are delivered within a framework of safety, professionalism, and responsibility. When choosing an aesthetics provider, regulation should not be optional. It is your guarantee of care.

General information, not a diagnosis or a treatment plan. Suitability is decided in person after an assessment, and the consultation for that is free.
