The scheme has been developed by our environmental health team and is open to all beauty, cosmetic and aesthetic businesses across the city.
This is a voluntary scheme which aims to improve standards within the industry, provide reassurance to customers and help promote compliant businesses to the public.
More and more people are choosing to have non-surgical cosmetic procedures. Treatments such as dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle injections (including Botox), chemical peels and energy-based treatments have become increasingly common. The popularity of these procedures is due to:
- the influence of social media and beauty trends
- easier access to aesthetics clinics and high street providers
- more affordable options
- ongoing improvements in products and technology
Most of these treatments are offered by private providers, and new procedures are becoming available all the time.
However, as the popularity of these treatments has increased, so has the number of concerns around poor standards and high-risk procedures received by the council. This includes an increase in complaints received from both the public and practitioners within the industry.
To help manage this, the Government is planning to introduce a mandatory licensing system for non-surgical cosmetic treatments in England. However, a date for this is yet to be announced. Until the mandatory scheme is introduced, our local voluntary compliance scheme aims to offer a level of reassurance to the public when they are considering cosmetic procedures.
Please note, the voluntary scheme will not replace your obligation to obtain a licence in the near future.
To register for the scheme, contact our Environmental Health Team by emailing us at environmentalhealth@wolverhampton.gov.uk alternatively, you can call our Customer Services Team on 01902 551155.

The voluntary compliance scheme will focus on infection prevention and control standards, including facilities available within the premises such as access to a hand wash basin, clinical waste provisions, readily cleansable walls and floors, storage facilities, and cleaning chemicals.
It will also look at practitioner competence, including personal hygiene, personal protective equipment, cleaning procedures, and a review of pre-consultation and after care procedures.

For practitioners who wish to apply, but have been subject to investigation and or enforcement action by Wolverhampton City Council or another local authority, they will need to demonstrate a period of good practice to us before we can consider your application.
Here’s feedback from our local businesses who’ve joined the scheme
Jayne Gooch, of The Skin Medic Clinic, based at Fused, Castle Street
As an aesthetic nurse with over 20 years of experience, I have seen first-hand how important regulation, education and clinical accountability are within the aesthetics industry. Patient safety must always come first, and initiatives such as the Cosmetic Compliance Scheme play a vital role in helping raise standards and promote responsible practice in our field.
The process of joining the scheme with Environmental Health Wolverhampton was straightforward and supportive, and the clinic assessment reflects the level of professionalism and governance that patients deserve to see in our industry. Being part of the scheme demonstrates commitment to transparency, safe practice and continuous professional development, which ultimately helps build public trust in aesthetic medicine.
Shannon Leigh Passmore, of Leigh & Co, Silverton way
I recently joined the compliance scheme and found the entire process smooth and straightforward from start to finish. The application was clear and easy to complete, and the site visit and assessment were professional, supportive, and well organised. I believe the scheme is incredibly important for maintaining high standards, ensuring client safety, and demonstrating commitment to best practice within the aesthetics industry. I would highly recommend any clinic to join, as it’s a fantastic way to stand out and show clients your commitment to excellence.
Leanne and Amy-Jo of Pillar Medical Aesthetics, 78 Griffiths Drive
We were thrilled to be asked to be one of the first members of the Cosmetic Compliance Scheme. Joining the scheme was a straightforward process with clear guidance throughout.
Our site visit felt supportive rather than intimidating. As a nurse-led clinic, we already prioritise safety and governance, so it was reassuring to see that we were already up to the compliance scheme standard.
We think the scheme is a really important step forward for the aesthetics industry. It brings a level of accountability that has been needed for a long time. For clinics that are already working to high standards, it helps illustrate their safe, ethical practice and sets us apart from the unregulated side of the industry.
Ultimately, this is exactly the direction the industry needs to be moving in. Having a framework like this not only improves patient safety now but also prepares clinics for future, much needed, national licensing. It raises standards and ultimately protects the public, which should always be the priority.
Annabelle of Eterno Skin Clinic, based on King Street
We were invited to be part of the Cosmetic Compliance Scheme by Charlotte, whom we have had a great professional relationship with for many years. A date was agreed and Charlotte provided some preparatory information to help us get best prepared.
The visit was detailed but efficient as well as being very positive with us being complimented on many aspects of our business and its competency.
Having ran the business for 12 years I have seen firsthand the changes in the industry, some of which being worrying, so it is really important that expected standards are now being monitored of businesses within this field, as this will hopefully eliminate bad practice, which in turn will increase safety to members of the public who opt to undergo such aesthetic/skin procedures.
