Aesthetic Clinics

Every aesthetic clinic already manages sensitive information — health histories, consultation notes, treatment records, clinical photography, and increasingly, AI-powered imaging tools.

AI Safe™ for Aesthetic Clinics helps you understand what your responsibilities are, how they apply in practice, and what you need to put in place to operate with confidence.

WHY AESTHETIC CLINICS ARE DIFFERENT

Not every business handles health information, clinical photography, Special Category Data, AI imaging and long-term clinical records.

  • Health Information

  • Clinical Photography

  • Special Category Data

  • AI Imaging

  • Long Term Clinical Records

Aesthetic clinics do, which means the practical responsibilities are different from those of most small businesses.

This guide has been written specifically for those differences.

Your Profession's Defining Data Assets

  • Health histories

  • Clinical photographs

  • Treatment records

  • AI skin analysis & imaging

  • Consent records

BUILD PRACTICAL CAPABILITY

This guide helps you answer questions such as

  • Do we understand which client information requires additional protection?

  • Have clients given informed consent for treatment, photography and AI imaging separately?

  • Could our clinical photographs become biometric data when processed by AI?

  • Are our booking systems, imaging platforms and AI tools handling client information appropriately?

  • Could we confidently explain how AI supports our consultations, treatments and record keeping?

THE FOUR CONSENT FORMS

Included and ready to use

One purpose each, with individual tick boxes throughout — a single catch-all signature does not satisfy UK GDPR for aesthetic practice.

FORM 2

Data Consent

Covers storage of health records, treatment notes and contact details — each with individual consent options.
