Does England's new cosmetics law affect your clinic? A checklist for owners

Nine treatment types, who can deliver them, CQC registration and penalties: a ten-minute checklist for clinic owners. Free for subscribers.

Checklist

The government has published draft rules that would limit nine types of cosmetic treatment in England to doctors, dentists and some prescribers, working in clinics registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Clinics that break the rules could face unlimited fines.

The consultation closes at 11.59pm on 13 January 2027. This checklist takes about ten minutes: go through your treatment menu, check who delivers each treatment, and see what you need to do now.
