You may have seen in the media that new UK regulations are being introduced to make cosmetic treatments safer. At La Cara Aesthetics in Hastings, this is a change I fully welcome as it’s something I’ve always championed as a Nurse Prescriber-led clinic.
The Key Changes in UK Regulations for 2025
-
Injectables must be performed by trained, insured, and licensed practitioners – ensuring consistent safety standards. Treatments such as Botox and dermal fillers, which I provide here in clinic, will now fall under local authority licensing.
-
Face-to-face consultations are required for every Botox appointment – not just the first visit. This guarantees proper medical assessment each time. I’ve always offered free, in-person consultations as standard.
-
Under-18s will be protected from high-risk cosmetic procedures unless approved by a healthcare professional.
Why This Matters
Sadly, the rise in unqualified “cowboy” operators has led to serious injuries, infections, and even hospital stays. These new laws are designed to protect patients, raise standards, and ensure only medically trained professionals deliver aesthetic treatments.
What This Means for You at La Cara Aesthetics
The good news? Nothing changes for you here, because I already meet and exceed the new requirements:
-
All treatments are carried out personally by myself Jac Sherwood – Registered Nurse, Independent Prescriber, JCCP registered, and Level 7 qualified.
-
I am fully insured, licensed, and only use UK-approved, premium products.
-
Every client receives a comprehensive, face-to-face consultation before treatment, with clear aftercare support.
In short: you are already in safe hands at La Cara Aesthetics. These changes simply raise the wider industry up to the standard I’ve always believed in.
