For qualified practitioners. Aesthetics Unwrapped resources are professional reference materials for registered healthcare professionals and qualified, insured aesthetic practitioners. They are not patient information and are not intended for members of the public.

UK aesthetics regulation is already changing, and some of it is already in force. This plain English guide tells you exactly what you must be doing right now, what the proposed licensing tiers would mean for your practice, and includes a self-audit checklist so you know precisely where you stand.

This free guide covers:

→ What you are legally required to do right now
→ The proposed Green, Amber and Red licensing framework, explained clearly
→ What "named regulated HCP oversight" actually means in practice
→ Penalties for non-compliance when the scheme arrives
→ Wales and HIW: what is already in force and what is coming
→ Scotland's separate timeline and what it means for you
→ A step-by-step preparation checklist
→ A quick self-audit: am I compliant right now?

No jargon. No waffle. Just what you need to know.
