VAT on Medical Aesthetics Treatments

Cosmetic Treatments and VAT

The VAT on medical aesthetics treatments are again being discussed, will HMRC deem that treatments such as botox, dermal fillers and skin peels as cosmetic treatments not medical.

How would VAT effect the medical aesthetics clinics and the treatments provided?

Answer: Competively with prices or reduce profitability either can seriously hinder any start up clinic which requires financial investment to develop.

What options do medical aesthetics clinics have if VAT registered ?

VAT is currently 20% a cosmetic clinic or medical aesthetics practice would have to pay the HMRC 20% of all sales.

The clinic will need to either increase the cosmetic treatment prices which can be a competitive disadvantage or to incurr the VAT and lose 20% off your gross margins.

You will also be required to submit a VAT return and pay the HMRC every quarter, extra accounting fees may also be required.

Not all bad news.

You can claim back 20% on any VAT you pay on services or products for your clinics. This will reduce the amount paid to HMRC and dependant on how many VAT registered suppliers and services your clinic uses.

You will need a VAT receipt to claim any VAT back from HMRC.

Gerry and the GPs NHS Reforms

NHS reforms will include General Practitioners having to manage their own NHS practices.

Many NHS doctors surgeries will have to understand some of the fundamentals of running a business, budgeting, forecasting, procurement, leadership and providing cost effective services.

What many have not yet considered is the feasibility of introducing supplementary business units that can generate extra revenue to support their current NHS medical services.

Since earlier reforms in the dental area, NHS and private Dentists have already started to add additional services such as medical aesthetic procedures (botox. Dermal fillers, skin peels), holistic treatments, beauty, diet and nutrition some have even introduced private medical services including dermatology consultations and in some cases cosmetic surgery.

Will the local general practice change in the same way as dental practices once the reforms have been implemented and how will GPs manage their practice?

How will the government’s health reforms affect GPs and patient care?

PCTs currently pay hospitals for services to their patients, when doctors have control of their PCT budgets and have to make decisions based on not only patient care but also if the practice can afford the service or medicine.

Doctors Training

KT Training introduced business training as part of cosmetic courses.

In our 6 years of training medical professionals we realised that doctors have limited knowledge of the fundamentals of running a private business due to the nature of their specialty and the structure of the NHS.

We have also found that doctors have the intelligence to understand the fundamentals if they are provided

with the correct training.

How do KT Training assist GPs in developing private cosmetic practices?

The complimentary business lecture which has been called the condensed 2 hour MBA in the medical aesthetics business is part of the introduction to botox training course.

We provide a structured presentation to educate doctors on the fundamentals required to start and developing a successful cosmetic practice.

Botulinum Toxins for Cosmetic Use

Vistabel is the same btn type as botox. The units differ Vistabel is provided in 50 unit vials and botox in 100 unit vials.

Medical Aesthetics VAT on Cosmetic Treatments

Should medical aesthetics clinics be VAT registered?
There has been a lot of concern from medical professionals who run a private practice on the issue of charging VAT on the treatments provided.

Medical aesthetics clinics which have a turn over of £67,000 (the VAT registration threshold) are in a dilemma.

Do you become a VAT registered company?

In most business's this would be the case and they would be required to registered and pay VAT (20% from 4th jan 2010) on their turn over quarterly.

Medical practices, treatments and prescriptions for medicines do not require VAT registration as these services and products are VAT exempt. This place medical aesthetics clinics in a very grey area, are they medical which is VAT exempt or are they aesthetic, cosmetic which would require VAT registration and the clinic would have to absorb the VAT or charge this additional to the patients.

Some clinics identify if the patient requires the treatment for medical or cosmetic reasons to reduce the VAT this may or may not be a solution. Until the HMRC have a clear classification for medical aesthetics practices this will always be a difficult one to answer.

You always discuss your VAT or tax questions with a qualified accountant.

Let me know your thoughts and experiences with this.

Chemical Peels Courses

There are many different chemical peel treatments available rangeing from mild superficial peels to agressive and invasive peels.

Some superficial peels can be applied by a beautician, but stronger chemical peels should be applied by a medical professional who has recieved chemical peel training.

Some stronger peels like the Obagi Blue Peels should only be applied by a doctor.

The Obagi is a one off peel treatments which requires some downtime.

The superficial skin peels will require a course of peel treatments to acheive improvement with very little downtime if any.

With such a wide range of chemical peels available you should always speak to a medical professional regarding the best options for your treatments.

KT Medical Aesthetic Training Professional Courses

The Introduction to Botox training course is one of the core courses due to its popularity and profitability to any aesthetic practice. However, Botox is appropriate for the upper parts of the face. When used on the lower face, it can create a false, uncomfortable and unnatural outcome for your patients if not performed by experienced practitioners.

Clinicians with a keen desire to provide total aesthetic solutions are advised to attend the Dermal Fillers and Chemical Peels training courses. The Dermal Fillers course teaches you skill required in order to improve the lower part of the face naturally by treating the nasolabial, thinning lip border, drooping corners of the mouth and hollows in the face.

The Chemical Peels training course teaches clinicians the art of improving the quality of the epidermis (rejuvenation of the skin). We teach you 3 medical grade peels in one course which will enable you to treat most skin types including ethnic skin. The range of peels are AHA (Neostrata Glycolic Acids peels) TCA (Easy TCA peel) and ICP (for ethnic skin) and includes training and advise on essential skin care and recommendations on skin care products.

These three courses will give you the skill sets to deal with your patient's aesthetic needs plus the direction to start a successful medical aesthetics practice. All includes comprehensive pre-course material for you to study prior to attending on the day.

We are pleased to announce Sister Malti O'Mahoney, one of the UK's leading experts and practitioners who has published articles on mesotherapy and developed clinical studies for facial rejuvenation, cellulite and fat reduction will be teaching this course.


The Advanced Botox and Dermal Fillers Training is a combined course that will help you to improve on your technical skills and increase your revenue bases but it is advisable to gain market experience before you attend the Advanced Botox and Dermal Filler courses.

Local Anaesthesia - Dental Block Training

Many cosmetic clinicians have attended a dermal fillers training course and not attend a dental block course to ensure they have the knowledge to understand the nerves, procedure and deal with any complications.

Some prefer to use a range of dermal fillers that have lignocaine (Juvederm Ultra) to assist with pain management, but this does not offer the level of patient comfort when using a dental block.

KT Training Course Testimonials

May, 2009 Highly recommended & excellent teaching

Testimonial on independant training review web site.

I really enjoyed this highly informative course and felt that by the end of the day I was really well prepared to start injecting. Yasmin Khan is clearly very experienced in the field of cosmetics and Dr Ashley Hague was an excellent lecturer and tutor. There were plenty of models for us to practise on in the afternoon under careful supervision and in summary I would highly recommend the KT course to anyone looking to learn how to inject botox.
