CosmediCheck Standards

You must provide and maintain full insurance documentation covering all treatments and procedures. This includes public liability and professional indemnity insurance at all times, and you must notify us of any changes or updates to the policy.

You must provide recognised and accredited qualifications for all treatments and services offered. Every service must be fully covered and valid under your insurance policies.

You must provide evidence of a legitimate business and premises. This includes valid business registration, proof of address, and photographic imagery of the workspace.

You are required to obtain and maintain all necessary permits, licences, and governing body registrations specific to your sector, such as local council tattoo permits.

It is your duty to conform to the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and all industry-specific regulations at all times.

Every client must receive a thorough assessment tailored to their individual requirements before any treatment. This should include a full assessment of their medical history, needs, and expectations.

You must provide advice and treatments tailored to each individual's needs while maintaining up-to-date client records for every service completed.

All feedback must be obtained from genuine clients who have completed a treatment. Falsifying or incentivising reviews is strictly prohibited and may lead to account removal.

Members must agree to initial and ongoing comprehensive business checks to verify credentials, regulatory compliance, and professional conduct.

It is your responsibility to inform CosmediCheck of any relevant changes to the business, such as new services, changes in name or address, or insolvency.

Any concerns or complaints raised by a client must be addressed promptly following the official CosmediCheck concerns process.

Members must acknowledge that CosmediCheck is a platform to help clients find reputable businesses, but the platform is not legally responsible for the treatments or interactions themselves.

You must only use regulated, licensed, and MHRA-approved products sourced from reputable suppliers. These must be used strictly in accordance with manufacturer guidelines.

Facilities must be clean, well-maintained, and compliant with safety protocols. Mobile services are only permitted if they are specifically documented and covered by your insurance policy.

Clients must fully understand their treatment options before giving consent. Explicit consent is also required for any photographic imagery used for marketing purposes.

Treatment imagery must not be doctored or edited to enhance results. Misleading clients with edited "before and after" photos is a breach of our standards.

You must explain all potential risks, side effects, and aftercare processes to the client to assist with minimising complications.

You must provide clear pricing, including any upfront costs, deposits, or third-party payment fees.

You must protect client information in compliance with GDPR and ensure discretion in all communications.

You must have relevant protocols in place, including first aid and anaphylaxis training, to deal with emergency situations.

You must adhere to industry cleanliness standards, including the use of single-use sterile equipment and following COSHH assessments for hazardous substances.

Appropriate PPE, such as nitrile gloves and masks, must be used to uphold infection control standards.

You must work strictly within the parameters of your permits, licensing, and insurance at all times.

You must follow strict protocols for the disposal of clinical waste and sharps. Needles and syringes are strictly single-use and must never be reused.

Members are expected to maintain a high standard of professional conduct and should not engage in defamatory or disrespectful commentary about others in the sector.

You must assess that a client is physically, mentally, and emotionally of sound mind before proceeding with a service.

Practitioners should commit to ongoing training and personal development to ensure their knowledge remains current.

All prescription-only medications must comply with UK regulations and can only be administered after the correct legal processes are followed.

Failure to comply with these standards will result in a full review of your membership and may lead to account termination or reports to relevant authorities.
