Faces | Where To Buy Authentic Toxins and Diluents Online?

To buy toxins and diluents, aesthetic professionals need to be cautious. As counterfeit products circulate in the UK aesthetics industry, the dangers of fake toxins and diluents continuously bring horror to practitioners and clients alike. In 2023 alone, a hefty amount of unregistered prescription products was seized in Greater Manchester, proving that there are certain groups of individuals who would capitalise on the uninformed buyers just to make money.

Events like this are a nightmare for aesthetic practitioners who have recently started their journey in aesthetics. The same sentiments can also be shared by practitioners who have already fallen for too-good-to-be-true deals. But to know where to buy toxins and diluents, we need to understand how prescription-only medicines work.

Understanding Prescription-Only Medicines

A prescription-only medicine or POM, is a type of medicine that can only be purchased if it is authorised by a health professional. Aesthetic practitioners obtaining POM need to have a valid prescription for it. Once a prescription has been given, it can be submitted to authentic pharmacies.

Medicine classified under POM is strictly regulated because of the risk it imposes. If someone offers a POM outside the right channels, you should think twice! But don’t worry; we’ll now be looking at where you can buy this medicine!

Where to buy Toxins & Diluents

A simple answer would be to go to a reputable pharmacy. But here are the things you need to check about the pharmacy first before making that first purchase.

1. The pharmacy name and business should be registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). An online pharmacy should declare that they are registered with the GHPC on their ‘About Us’ page. Look up the pharmacy on the pharmacy register by clicking here.

2. Healthcare professionals in these pharmacies should be registered with different UK regulators.

3. Their website shouldn’t look sketchy, and when you call for someone, they should know the answers to your questions about their products.

To save you the hassle, you can check out this reputable marketplace. Faces have also gathered verified, trusted, and knowledgeable pharmacies in the aesthetics industry to provide aesthetics professionals with safe and reliable pharmacy services. Learn more by clicking here.

Requirements to buy Toxins & Diluents

There are certain requirements to meet before buying a prescription item. The following are:

1. Identity Card or ID – Practitioners need to verify their identity by presenting an ID. Examples of valid IDs that can be presented are passports and driving licences. All information on your ID should also be visible.

2. Certificate of Training – To verify that you have been trained to use toxins, diluents, and other prescription medicines, you need to present a photo or scanned copy of your training certificate. Make sure that your training certificate indicates the training academy you’ve graduated from, your name, the name of the trainer, and the tracking number of the certificate.

3. Insurance Documents – You need to be insured before procuring POMs. If you haven’t gotten your insurance, here is a list of insurance providers that you can work with. When sending your insurance documents, make sure that your document contains your name or your business name, a policy or reference number, and your insurance coverage dates.

4. Prescription – Obviously, prescription items would need a prescription from prescribers. Prescribers would need to do a consultation with your clients before you get a prescription for your POMs. 

If you haven’t partnered up with a prescriber, you can look for one near you by clicking here.

How to buy prescription items

To order prescription items, you need to find an authentic pharmacy. You would also need to compare different pharmacies to get the best deals. To make it quick and hassle-free, simply create or log in to your Faces account. Once logged in, click on the shop icon and browse our catalogue of different prescription items from our partnered pharmacies.

The 3 Gigantic Risk of Inaccurate Consent Forms Exposed.

On average, Faces receives 5,917 filled-out consent forms everyday. And every day, we ask our practitioners to nudge their clients into filling out every single item on our consent forms. This minimises the risks for the practitioners and provides a standing legal document for the clients themselves.

Now some question how ‘serious’ consent forms really are, and practitioners ask if their clients could skip parts of these consent forms. We understand that correctly filling out a consent form may take more time than usual, but it is for the benefit of both parties. Before we tackle the repercussions of incorrectly filled consent forms, let’s have a refresher on what consent is.

What is consent?

The NHS describes consent as an act or agreement that gives permission for something to happen. Since all adults are assumed to have a sufficient mind to think, consent is required for every procedure. However, if a person doesn’t have the capacity to make a decision, the practitioner needs to take ample measures, like asking their insurance providers first. Consent can be given in 3 ways.

Non-verbally: Sometimes called implicit consent, examples would be extending their arm in a blood test, nodding their heads, or opening their mouths during a dental exam.

Verbally: A person directly implies consent by saying they’re happy to do the treatment.

Written: consent is expressed through a written document. This is your strongest evidence that your client has declared consent to the treatment.

The repercussions of incorrectly filled consent forms

Let’s paint you a picture. Suppose you have a client for an anti-wrinkle treatment today. The client walks in, misses a few questions and ticks on the consent form, and you carry out the treatment. You’re not worrying about anything since this hasn’t been the first time someone has done this. After a few days, you get a call, and something has gone wrong with your client’s treatment. What will happen next?

Legal trouble

Your client will sue you; what is worse, your client will have an advantage over you. Your client can sue you for negligence and malpractice. This can range from £1000 to amounts exceeding £1 million. Besides the financial downfall you might be facing, you also need to prepare a lot of paperwork.

Insurance may not back you up

Are you partnered with the right insurance? If not, then they’ll try to find every loophole they can find to deny your claims. This means you are liable for shouldering the costs of your client’s medical expenses. Scenarios like claim denials can also trigger an investigation by regulatory bodies such as the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses (BACN), or the British College of Aesthetic Medicine (BCAM). Worse case, they found you guilty and can suspend your licence to operate, which will lead to serious disciplinary actions.

Need the right insurance partner? Here’s a list of the top-rated insurance companies in 2024.

Your dream going down the drain

Your business is temporarily suspended, your reputation is permanently damaged, and you are financially bankrupt. The dream of attaining financial freedom and an outstanding career path is going down the drain. The reason is an incorrectly filled consent form. You were given the worst scenario of a lifetime just because of a few-minute mistake.

How can Faces help?

Let’s mitigate the risk for your business. Faces has over 200 consent form templates that you can freely use for your business. With Faces, you can monitor which part of the consent form has still not been filled out by your client, and you can prompt them by resending the consent form back to fill everything out correctly. When accessing the filled-out consent forms, you can also see the edit history of all the consent forms.

It’s a headache to keep track of compliance documents, strategically plan your taxes, and keep financial records, especially when you don’t have the time and diligence for it!

Insurance is not required by law; however, it’s a must-have if you want peace of mind when operating.

As a bonus, here are the things you need to consider before working with an insurance company.

  • List of coverage 
  • Industry-specific policies
  • List of treatments and services covered
  • Reputation

If you’re unsure, you can create a Faces account and get insurance. You can also read a list of leading aesthetic insurance providers here.

3. An aesthetic website

You’re providing aesthetic treatments; therefore, your website should be aesthetic too!

Integrate a booking system, upload reviews, and list the different treatments you provide.

Build a professional website in 15 minutes or less (no coding required) with Faces’ Website Builder!

Insurance Comprehensive Coverage for UK Aesthetics: Pro Guide

If you’re providing aesthetic treatments in the UK, you’re likely aware of the importance of comprehensive insurance coverage. Aesthetic procedures, while non-surgical, come with their own set of risks. Insurance comprehensive coverage is not just a precaution; it’s necessary to protect your business, clients, and peace of mind in the field of UK aesthetics.

We will explore the options for aesthetic insurance in the UK. This article will highlight the benefits and necessity of comprehensive insurance coverage for aesthetic practitioners.

What is Specialised Aesthetic Treatment Insurance?

This particular form of insurance is designed for professionals offering a range of elective cosmetic procedures, such as dermal fillers, Botox injections, chemical peels, and laser hair removal. Trained experts from diverse disciplines usually provide these treatments and differ from procedures typically performed by doctors or surgeons.

The Importance of Aesthetic Insurance

While these treatments may not involve surgery, they are not without risks. Aesthetic insurance provides a safety net if a client experiences issues or claims your services. Let’s explore the benefits of aesthetic insurance, emphasising why it’s not just a choice but a necessity for UK aesthetic practitioners.

1. Comprehensive Coverage

Aesthetic insurance offers wide-ranging protection. This includes covering treatment risks, property damage, and even liability claims. For instance, if a client experiences an adverse reaction to a treatment, this insurance can handle legal costs and compensation claims. It’s not limited to accidents but being prepared for any eventuality in your practice.

2. Peace of Mind

Insurance for aesthetics grants practitioners peace of mind. Knowing you’re covered in case of unexpected incidents allows you to focus on providing the best care for your clients. This emotional and professional support is invaluable. It enables you to operate with confidence and assurance.

3. Financial Security

The financial risks in the aesthetic industry can be significant. From equipment damage to costly legal battles, these can test your finances. Aesthetic practitioner insurance is a financial safety net, protecting you from these unforeseen expenses and ensuring your business’s financial health.

Legal Protection: Insurance Comprehensive Coverage for UK Aesthetics

4. Legal Protection

Comprehensive insurance coverage is your best ally in the event of legal challenges. Whether it’s a malpractice claim or a workplace accident, this insurance provides the necessary resources to handle legal proceedings against potential legal pitfalls.

5. Enhanced Credibility

Holding aesthetic insurance boosts your credibility in the eyes of clients. It shows a commitment to professionalism and a readiness to address any issues that may arise responsibly. This trust is important in building a loyal client base and enhancing your professional reputation.

6. Business Stability

Insurance is a cornerstone for business continuity. It ensures that your practice can weather storms, be they financial, legal, or reputational. In an industry where client trust and business reputation are crucial, insurance fortifies your practice against potential disruptions.

7. Tailored Solutions

Aesthetic insurance is not one-size-fits-all. Providers offer customisation options to cater to the specific needs of your practice. Whether you’re a solo practitioner or part of a larger clinic, there’s a policy that fits your unique requirements.

How Much Does Aesthetic Insurance Cost in the UK?

The cost of aesthetic insurance in the UK can vary widely depending on several factors:

  • Coverage Limits: Higher coverage limits often result in higher premiums.
  • Experience and Qualifications: Practitioners with more experience and advanced qualifications may have lower insurance rates due to their reduced risk profile.
  • Type of Treatments: Your specific treatments can also impact the cost. Some treatments are riskier than others, affecting your premium.
  • Location: Your practice’s location can influence the cost of insurance. For example, practitioners in major cities may have higher premiums due to increased competition and client volume.
  • Claims History: A history of claims or lawsuits can raise your insurance costs.

On average, aesthetic insurance in the UK can range from a few hundred pounds to over a thousand pounds annually.

Debunking Common Myths About Insurance in the Beauty Sector

An image of a Dermapen, a handheld device used for microneedling treatments. The Dermapen features fine needles and is designed to improve skin texture and appearance through controlled micro-injuries.

Insurance is an essential aspect of any beauty-related business. However, there are several myths and misconceptions surrounding insurance in the beauty sector that can lead to confusion and potentially inadequate coverage. In this article, we’ll debunk some of the common myths about insurance in the beauty industry.

10 Myths About Insurance in the Beauty Sector

Here are some of the myths about insurance and the realities behind it.

Myth 1: “I Don’t Need Insurance; I’m Careful.”

Reality: Accidents can happen to even the most careful professionals. Having insurance provides a safety net in case of unforeseen incidents, protecting your business from financial setbacks.

Myth 2: “My Homeowner’s Insurance Covers My Home-Based Salon.”

Reality: Most homeowner’s insurance policies don’t cover business-related activities, especially if clients visit your home for treatments. You’ll likely need a separate business insurance policy.

Myth 3: “I’m a Solo Practitioner; I Don’t Need Liability Insurance.”

Reality: Liability insurance is crucial, even for solo practitioners. It protects you from potential legal claims, such as client injuries or dissatisfaction with services. It can be a lifesaver in case of unexpected legal expenses.

Myth 4: “Insurance is Too Expensive.”

Reality: Insurance costs can vary, but the price of insurance is often a fraction of the potential financial losses you could incur without it. Many insurers offer affordable policies tailored to the beauty industry.

Myth 5: “I Don’t Need Insurance for My Beauty Products; They’re Safe.”

Reality: Product liability insurance is vital if you sell beauty products. Even safe products can cause allergic reactions or other issues in some individuals. This insurance covers you in case of product-related claims.

Workers' Compensation Insurance: Debunking Common Myths About Insurance in the Beauty Sector

Myth 6: “I Can’t Afford Workers’ Compensation Insurance.”

Reality: In the UK, if you have employees, you are legally required to have workers’ compensation insurance. Failing to comply can result in severe penalties. Fortunately, there are policies designed for small businesses that make this coverage affordable.

Myth 7: “My Business Interruption Insurance Isn’t Necessary.”

Reality: Business interruption insurance can be a lifesaver during unexpected events like fires or natural disasters. It covers lost income and ongoing expenses, allowing your business to recover more smoothly.

Myth 8: “I Don’t Need Insurance; I’ve Been in Business for Years Without Issues.”

Reality: Past success is no guarantee of future safety. Insurance provides protection against unforeseen events that can happen to any business, regardless of its history.

Myth 9: “I Can Figure Out Insurance on My Own.”

Reality: Insurance can be complex, with various types of coverage and policies. Consulting with an insurance professional who understands the beauty industry can help you make informed decisions and avoid potential pitfalls.

Myth 10: “Insurance Doesn’t Benefit My Clients.”

Reality: Knowing that you have insurance can instil confidence in your clients, knowing that you’re prepared to handle unexpected situations professionally. This can enhance client trust and satisfaction.

Conclusion

Insurance is a vital component of any beauty-related business, and it’s essential to separate fact from fiction. By understanding the realities and myths about insurance in the beauty sector, you can make informed decisions to protect your business, your clients, and your peace of mind.

Local SEO can also be particularly beneficial, making sure locals find you first!

4. Collaborate with Influencers

The power of influencers cannot be underestimated in beauty and aesthetics. Collaborating with local influencers can bring a surge of visibility to your clinic. They don’t always need to have millions of followers; even micro-influencers can have a potent impact due to their niche and loyal audience.

5. Email Marketing: The Underrated Gem

Email marketing might seem outdated, but it remains one of the most effective ways to communicate directly with potential and existing clients. Regular newsletters, updates on new treatments, and exclusive offers can keep your clinic at the forefront of clients’ minds.

Learn how to boost your clinic's online presence with these proven aesthetics marketing strategies. Stand out in the crowded digital landscape.

6. Host Events and Open Days

Hosting events or open days at your clinic is an excellent way to introduce potential clients to your services. It allows them to meet the team, understand treatments better, and feel more comfortable about choosing your clinic.

7. Offer a Loyalty Programme

Customer retention is just as important as acquiring new ones. By introducing a loyalty programme, you can incentivise clients to return for more treatments, ensuring a steady revenue stream.

8. Engage in Content Marketing

Engage your audience with valuable content that addresses their concerns and interests. Whether it’s a blog post on the latest aesthetic trends, a video on the benefits of a particular treatment, or an infographic on skincare, content marketing can position your clinic as an industry leader.

9. Harness the Power of Reviews

Positive reviews can significantly boost your clinic’s reputation. Encourage satisfied clients to leave reviews on platforms like Google My Business and Trustpilot. Address any negative feedback promptly and professionally, showcasing your commitment to excellence.

10. Keep an Eye on the Competition

While focusing on your marketing strategies is essential, it’s equally vital to be aware of what your competitors are doing. This doesn’t mean copying them, but rather understanding the market dynamics and adjusting your strategies accordingly.
