About aesthetician services
For anything invasive, check the practitioner's qualifications, whether they are on a recognised register such as JCCP or Save Face, and who prescribes. Premises offering laser or IPL must be registered with the local authority in most areas, and in Scotland with Healthcare Improvement Scotland.
