Cosmetology
Licenses & permits
Aesthetic cosmetology (skincare, facial massage, depilation) — no medical license. Injections and skin-breaking device methods — medical activity: license + physician-cosmetologist mandatory.
Practitioner papers
Education diploma/certificate, health record (mandatory), product and device certificates, written client consent. For injections — a physician diploma + cosmetology certificate.
Equipment
Base: couch, sterilizer, magnifier lamp, ultrasound scrubber, microcurrent/RF — per service list. Injections — only registered certified products, a room meeting sanitary norms.
Consent & protocol
Before the procedure: questionnaire (allergies, contraindications), written informed consent, before/after photos with consent, client record entry. This is your defense in disputes.
Products
Buy only from official distributors — grey products = criminal liability on complications. Keep the registration certificate for each product/device in the office file.
Pricing
Procedure price = consumables (product+disposables) + time + rent + expertise. Cosmetology prices above nail services — the liability is higher. Sell procedure courses as packages at 10–15% off.
