UK ad compliance review · Aesthetics

Aesthetics and cosmetic clinic ad review

Aesthetics advertising sits close to medicines law. The CAP Code and the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 restrict how prescription-only treatments are promoted, and cosmetic interventions must not be aimed at under-18s.

Who it's for

  • Aesthetics and skin clinics
  • Cosmetic surgery and non-surgical cosmetic providers
  • Prescribers and nurse-led clinics advertising on social media

Common ad mistakes we check for

  1. 01

    Naming Botox or another prescription-only medicine

    Prescription-only medicines must not be advertised to the public. Nicknames such as "anti-wrinkle injections" with a price can still count.

  2. 02

    Prices and offers on prescription-only treatments

    A price list or discount for a prescription-only medicine promotes the medicine itself.

  3. 03

    Cosmetic ads that reach under-18s

    Cosmetic intervention ads must not be directed at under-18s through the media or context chosen, including social audiences.

  4. 04

    Unrealistic before-and-after images

    Images should be genuine and typical, without editing that exaggerates the result.

  5. 05

    "No downtime" or "no side effects"

    Absolute safety claims need proof, and for medicines they are not allowed.

The rules that apply

Read them at the source. Which rules apply depends on your product, your permissions and what the ad says.
