Cosmetology licensing

The demand for cosmetology procedures has increased significantly in recent years. Despite the military situation, new beauty salons, cosmetology centers, etc. are opening in various Ukrainian cities. However, not all potential entrepreneurs in the beauty industry know that permission must be obtained for certain types of services they provide to their clients. For example, there are a number of cosmetology procedures associated with a minimally invasive effect on the skin, using beauty injections.This is already a category of medical services. That is why the issue of cosmetology licensing arises. Specialists Prykhodko and Partners will explain how to obtain permits for the implementation of cosmetology activities.

Why does a cosmetologist have a medical license?

Currently, the Ukrainian legislation does not distinguish a separate profession "cosmetologist". In the modern understanding of most people, a cosmetologist is a professional who specializes in various procedures (contour plastic surgery, massage, mesotherapy, etc.). However, there is often a lack of understanding that such procedures can only be performed by a specialist with a higher medical education.

For example, in your salon you can do such a procedure as a piercing. This procedure may be accompanied by the following risks:

1. Damage to the skin.
2. Heavy bleeding.
3. Risk of contamination or infection.
4. Allergic reactions to the materials used.

To ensure yourself, you will definitely need cosmetology licensing. This is one of the main confirmations of the legality of the activity. Let's consider this issue in more detail.

Today, cosmetologists offer a whole range of procedures that belong to the "cosmetic" category: hair removal, massages, beauty injections, etc. Most of the listed procedures can be performed by certain specialists after obtaining the appropriate license.According to the current Ukrainian legislation, cosmetic services that have a medical bent are subject to licensing. Among them, in particular, procedures that involve invasive deep penetration into the patient's skin:

• Mesotherapy.
• Botox injections.
• Subcutaneous administration of drugs based on silicone.
• Chemical peels.

All the above manipulations require special knowledge from the beautician. This is, first of all, a thorough knowledge of anatomy. People who have a medical education can engage in this practice.

Thus, cosmetology licensing of a beauty salon will be required in cases where the services provided in it involve invasive intervention. Violation of the integrity of the skin is the first signal that confirms the need to issue a license. This is the main basis for the safe operation of the salon. Licensing is a guarantee of security for your business.
