Aesthetic clinic license without a doctor
To establish an aesthetic clinic, a specialist dermatologist’s medical license is needed, and to establish an aesthetic clinic, a general practitioner’s license is needed, but note that you can establish your own aesthetic clinic with any experience and expertise. But how?
License for Aesthetic clinics for Nurses or with Midwifery Qualifications
Currently, in Iran, it is not possible to establish an aesthetic clinic using nursing or midwifery qualifications. If you have studied nursing, midwifery, or related fields, you can invest in establishing a aesthetic clinic, but it’s essential to contract with a physician to obtain the necessary license.
If you intend to establish a laser clinic, you still need a general medical practitioner’s license. Additionally, procedures such as filler injections, Botox, etc., must be performed by a qualified physician, and performing these procedures by other members of the medical staff is not legally permissible. It could result in penalties or the closure of the clinic.
Please note that the regulations for establishing an aesthetic clinic may vary in different cities. Therefore, it’s advisable to contact the relevant medical organization for more information on how to establish your aesthetic clinic.
Cost of Obtaining an Aesthetic clinic License
The cost of obtaining an aesthetic clinic license varies depending on the services offered and the conditions of the clinic. However, it’s common to expect the cost to be more than 3 million Iranian Rials.
If you choose to assign the process of obtaining your clinic’s license to a legal company, you should consider additional costs for using their services.
Duration and Validity of the License
Generally, it’s not possible to specify a fixed time frame for obtaining a license. Depending on the documents provided and the services the clinic offers, the time it takes to receive a license can vary. However, on average, obtaining a license usually takes about 2 to 3 months.
Purchase of Aesthetic clinic Licenses
Many individuals in the beauty industry buy and sell aesthetic clinic licenses. Those who cannot manage their aesthetic clinics for any reason can legally sell their aesthetic clinic licenses. Additionally, individuals who want to establish an aesthetic clinic quickly and do not have enough time to obtain a license can purchase a license from an already established clinic.
Dissolution of Aesthetic clinic Licenses
For various reasons such as migration or changes in economic status, founders of an aesthetic clinic may decide to dissolve the institution. In this case, shareholders of the aesthetic clinic can formally proceed with its dissolution.
