Are you a beauty therapist? Here’s what you need to know about the new regulation change

Posted: December 12, 2023

Earlier in 2023, the government announced it would be introducing a new aesthetic licencing scheme for non-surgical cosmetic procedures in England. 

This upcoming change in the law means all beauty therapists and aestheticians who perform cosmetic therapies (such as microneedling, chemical peels or other skincare treatments) will now need to hold an accredited qualification by an official regulator, in order to practise legally. 

If the above applies to you, we’re pretty sure you have questions. Scroll down to find out everything you need to know and how our School of Hair, Beauty and Media Makeup can help.
