Your Safety First
Safety & Standards
In aesthetic medicine, trust is earned through transparency and unwavering commitment to patient safety. Here's how we protect you.
Our Accreditations
GMC Registered
All our doctors are registered with the General Medical Council, ensuring they meet the highest professional and ethical standards required to practise medicine in the UK.
CQC Compliant
Our clinic operates in accordance with Care Quality Commission guidelines, maintaining rigorous standards for safety, effectiveness, and patient care.

Our Safety Principles
These principles guide every interaction and procedure at Cosmedocs.
Doctor-Led Care
Every patient receives a consultation with a qualified doctor before any treatment. We never delegate initial assessments to non-medical staff.
Informed Consent
We take time to explain procedures, risks, alternatives, and realistic outcomes. You'll never feel rushed into a decision.
Right to Decline
Our doctors will decline treatment if they believe it's not in your best interest, regardless of commercial considerations.
Cooling-Off Period
For first-time patients, we recommend and respect a cooling-off period between consultation and treatment.
