AI-Powered Personalisation: The Friendly Guide to Future-Proofing Your Aesthetics Clinic

Imagine greeting a Gen Z client who can design their entire skincare plan from a selfie—before they walk through your door. That’s not sci-fi; 72 % of UK Gen Z already expect AI-driven personalisation, and 64 % say they’ll spend more with brands that offer it. In my book, clinics that lean into AI now will be tomorrow’s market leaders.

Let’s be honest: nobody opened an aesthetics clinic because they love paperwork. But the Health & Care Act 2022 has paved the way for a new mandatory licensing scheme—likely to land in late 2026-27. (Although in truth they are keeping us all guessing).  

Rather than panic, let’s treat regulation as what it really is: a chance for ethical, well-trained practitioners to shine and shortcut-takers to exit stage left. Let’s look at all the possible options around the regulations and nail them all!

We are already seeing a shifting of standards with local authorities clamping down on the Under 18’s regulations and the NMC declaring the 1st June 2025 as the date all remote prescribing will end.  Further tightening of standards will follow over this next period leading to the final phase from Government.
