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.

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?

Data Consent
