Why You Must See a Prescriber Before Anti-Wrinkle Treatments

💉 Why You Must See a Prescriber Before Anti-Wrinkle Treatments

As of 1st June 2025, it's officially the law in Northern Ireland:
You must have a face-to-face consultation with a qualified prescriber before receiving any prescription-only aesthetic treatment, including anti-wrinkle injections.

 
🛡️ Why This Change Matters

This new legal requirement isn’t about making things harder — it’s about making things safer. Prescription-only treatments are medical procedures, and they carry real risks if not assessed and administered properly.

A proper consultation ensures:

✅ The treatment is safe for your individual health
✅ You fully understand the product, procedure, and outcomes
✅ You’re receiving care from a professional held to medical and ethical standards

 
👩‍⚕️ What We Do at Urban Lasers & Aesthetics

At Urban, we’re committed to not just meeting, but exceeding safety standards.

Our founder, Nurse Katie, is a fully qualified and insured nurse with a passion for honest, client-first care. That’s why we run monthly in-person prescriber clinics, where a qualified prescriber will:

📋 Review your medical history
🗣️ Discuss your goals and expectations
💉 Provide a full consultation before any treatment takes place

Once your suitability is confirmed, Nurse Katie can carry out your treatment, knowing it’s been done the right way — the legal way, and the safe way.

 
⚠️ Why It’s Your Responsibility, Too

With aesthetic treatments becoming more popular than ever, it’s important to remember: not all providers operate within the law.

It’s your responsibility as a client to make sure the clinic you choose is:

✔️ Legally compliant
✔️ Using qualified prescribers for prescription-only treatments
✔️ Transparent about their processes
✔️ Focused on your safety over shortcuts

If a clinic offers anti-wrinkle treatment without a prescriber consultation, that’s a red flag. You have every right to ask:
Who’s prescribing my treatment?
Have I been properly assessed?
Is this clinic following the law?

At Urban, we welcome those questions — because we believe you deserve answers and peace of mind.
