Establishing an aesthetic clinic in the UK is a detailed process that involves compliance with local regulations, certification requirements, and proper business setup. At Muya Consultancy, we guide you through each step, ensuring your clinic meets all legal and operational standards while aligning with your professional goals.

 

Your Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up an Aesthetic Clinic

1. Business Setup

• Company Registration:
  The first step is registering your company with Companies House. A director will be appointed to oversee the clinic's operations, including obtaining the necessary licenses and certifications.
• Comprehensive Business Plan:
  We assist in creating a detailed business plan, outlining:
  • The specific services your clinic will offer.
  • Financial preparation, including costs for rent, equipment, and staffing

 

2. Certifications and Insurance

• Certifications Required:
  Depending on the services you intend to offer, certifications at Level 7 or equivalent are typically required. Common certifications include:
  • Level 7 Diploma in Botox & Dermal Fillers (necessary for performing aesthetic procedures).
  • Certifications for microneedling, chemical peels, lasers, and IPL, at Levels 4 and 5.
  • Approved training courses can be completed through JCCP-certified providers, typically in 4-6 months.
• Insurance:
  Obtaining comprehensive insurance to cover all treatments is essential. The type of insurance will vary based on the scope of your services.

 

3. Local Council Licenses

• Licensing Requirements:
  Requirements differ by council. We assist in navigating local regulations to secure the necessary licenses for your clinic.

 

4. CQC License (Care Quality Commission)

If your clinic offers medical aesthetic treatments, obtaining a CQC license is mandatory.

• Licensed Procedures Include:
  • Injections of substances, including Botox and fillers.
  • Use of lasers, IPL, or other light treatments.
  • Microneedling, chemical peels, and thread placement procedures.
• CQC Licensing Process:
  The process typically takes 10 weeks and requires documentation such as:
  • A Statement of Purpose outlining your clinic’s mission.
  • Policies for patient safety and operational management.
  • Evidence of qualifications for your registered manager.

Once your CQC license is approved, your clinic is ready to operate.
