How We Check Aesthetic Clinics
Draft. A human still has to fill the marked gaps before this page can be published.
Updated 2026-11-11
Every clinic on AestheticsVerified is matched against the official health register in its country. Clinics cannot pay to be listed, and they cannot pay to change what we show about them.
What we check
1. The clinic’s licence. We look the clinic up on the official register for its country and record the licence number and the date we checked. Clinic pages show this as “Licence checked [month year]”.
2. Doctors, linked to the register. Where a clinic names its doctors, we link each one to their public medical council entry, so you can see their registration yourself.
3. Prices, with a date. Prices come from the clinic’s own published price list. Every price shows the month we last checked it. Read how we collect prices.

What a licence check does not tell you
A licence shows a clinic is allowed to operate. It does not guarantee results, tell you whether a treatment suits your skin, or measure the skill of a single doctor. Always have a consultation with the treating doctor before you book, and use our consultation questions.
When we cannot find a licence
We do not quietly remove the clinic. Its page says what we could not confirm and when, for example “Licence not found on the register, January 2027”. The clinic can send us documents and we update the page once we have confirmed them.
Coming next
We are building a deeper check that also covers doctors’ aesthetic credentials and the products and devices a clinic uses. Clinics that pass it will carry a Verified mark. Until that check is live, no clinic on this site is labelled Verified.
