ABOUT THE PUBLISHER
The Aesthetics Compliance Co.
The Aesthetics Compliance Co. publishes regulatory intelligence for clinic operators in the United Kingdom. The gap between regulator-speak and operator-readable guidance has, for too long, been filled by training providers selling courses and lobbyists arguing for their members. The operator's view was missing.
We publish guides, briefings and a forthcoming quarterly bulletin tracking regulatory developments in detail. Our editorial position is independent. We do not represent practitioner associations, training providers or device manufacturers. We are not paid by them, and we will not become so.
