For aesthetics clinics

Websites and booking for aesthetics clinics.

Aesthetics runs on a rhythm: consultation, treatment, a review, then a top up a few months later. Miss a beat and the patient drifts to whoever messages them first. We build websites and booking that keep that rhythm, with the rules on prescription only treatments built in.

Lines & wrinkles

Consultation first
  • Medical history & consent

    Signed on the patient's phone at booking

  • Face to face consultation

    With the prescriber · deposit taken

  • Treatment appointment

    Opens once the consultation is complete

  • Two week review

    Booked automatically after treatment

  • Next appointment reminder

    Timed to the treatment

No product names on public booking pages.

Heard at the front desk

The same questions, all day.

Every one of these is a phone call, a DM, or a reception queue. A good website and booking system answers them before anyone has to pick up the phone.

  • How much is Botox?
  • I have had it before, can I just book the treatment?
  • Do you have anything this Saturday?
  • Is my review included, or is it extra?
  • What do I need to avoid before my appointment?

The workflow

How a patient moves through your clinic.

Seven steps, from the first search to the next visit. At each one: what happens, where it usually goes wrong, and what we build to fix it.

  1. 01 / 07 Discovery

    Found for the concern, not the product

    Patients search a concern, like frown lines, long before they search a product name.

    Where it goes wrong: Pages named after products rank poorly for the concern, and break the advertising rules.

    What we build

    A page for every concern patients search, written to rank and to stay compliant.

    google / search

    yourclinic.co.uk › concerns › frown-lines

    Frown lines treatment · Your Clinic

    Book a consultation with a qualified prescriber to talk through your options, what to expect, and costs.

    skinguide.example › wrinkles

    Lines and wrinkles: your options explained

    A general guide to treatments for lines and wrinkles.

  2. 02 / 07 Enquiry

    Answered at 10pm, not next morning

    DMs, calls, and forms asking about price, often late in the evening.

    Where it goes wrong: Replies go out the next morning, after they have booked elsewhere.

    What we build

    Instant answers to the common questions, with a consultation slot to book there and then.

    messages / new enquiry
    Hi, how much is it for forehead lines?
    Thanks for asking. Every treatment starts with a consultation with our prescriber, where we go through your options and prices. These are free this week:
    Thu 18:00 · Sat 10:30 · Sat 11:15
    Saturday 10:30 please
  3. 03 / 07 Consultation

    History and consent before they arrive

    Medical history, expectations, and a face to face assessment by the prescriber.

    Where it goes wrong: Paper forms, missing history, and no record of what was discussed.

    What we build

    History and consent sent at booking, signed on the phone, and saved to the patient's record.

    forms / medical history

    Before your consultation

    Current medication

    None

    Allergies

    None known

  4. 04 / 07 Decision

    Treatment opens when the prescriber says so

    Many clinics give patients time to reflect between the consultation and the treatment.

    Where it goes wrong: Treatment gets booked in the same breath as the consultation.

    What we build

    Treatment slots that only open once the prescriber has recorded the patient as suitable.

  5. 05 / 07 Treatment

    Every vial traceable

    Product, batch number, units, and areas recorded against each treatment.

    Where it goes wrong: Batch numbers on paper, so a product recall means searching notes by hand.

    What we build

    Treatment records with batch numbers you can search in seconds.

    treatments / tr-2291

      Every patient on 4F21A, in seconds

  6. 06 / 07 Review

    The review books itself

    A check on the result, usually around two weeks after toxin.

    Where it goes wrong: Reviews get forgotten, and unhappy patients go quiet, or go online.

    What we build

    The review offered automatically the moment the treatment is logged.

    booking / review

    Review · 2 weeks after treatment

    09:00
    10:30
    13:00
    16:30

    Offered as soon as the treatment record is saved.

  7. 07 / 07 Rebooking

    Back before the result fades

    Results wear off over a few months, so patients need to come back.

    Where it goes wrong: No reminder, so they drift to whichever clinic messages first.

    What we build

    Reminders timed to each treatment, with one tap to book.

    messages / reminders
    Hi Sarah, it has been 12 weeks since your last appointment. Would you like to book your next one?
    Yes please, any Saturdays?

Laws & regulations

The rules, built in.

Aesthetics is one of the most closely watched corners of UK healthcare advertising, and the rules reach into your booking flow, not just your wording. These are the ones we build around.

The ruleWhat it saysWhat we build in
  1. What it saysPrescription only medicines, including botulinum toxin, cannot be advertised to the public. The ASA treats naming the product, or clearly hinting at it, as advertising.

    What we build inBooking pages and confirmation messages that never name a prescription only medicine.

  2. GMC · NMC

    Remote prescribing of cosmetic injectables

    What it saysDoctors and nurses must not prescribe injectable cosmetic medicines remotely. The prescriber assesses the patient face to face first.

    What we build inTreatment slots that stay locked until a face to face consultation is recorded.

  3. England

    Botulinum Toxin and Cosmetic Fillers (Children) Act 2021

    Source (opens in a new tab): Botulinum Toxin and Cosmetic Fillers (Children) Act 2021

    What it saysIt is an offence to give botulinum toxin or fillers to under 18s for cosmetic purposes, or to arrange it.

    What we build inDate of birth checked at booking, with cosmetic toxin and filler treatments blocked for under 18s.

  4. Health and Care Act 2022

    Licensing of non-surgical cosmetic procedures

    Source (opens in a new tab): Health and Care Act 2022, section 180

    What it saysSection 180 gives the government power to bring in a licensing scheme for non-surgical cosmetic procedures in England. Check its current status before planning around it.

    What we build inPractitioner records that can hold licence numbers and expiry dates, with renewal reminders.

  5. ASA · CAP Code

    Claims, testimonials, and before and after photos

    Source (opens in a new tab): ASA, Beauty and Cosmetics: Botulinum toxin (Botox) products

    What it saysBefore and after photos and testimonials count as claims, and claims need evidence behind them.

    What we build inPhoto consent for marketing recorded separately from clinical photo consent.

  6. ICO · UK GDPR

    Treatment photos as health data

    Source (opens in a new tab): ICO, What is special category data?

    What it saysTreatment photos and medical history are special category health data. Using a patient's photo in marketing needs its own, separate consent.

    What we build inPhotos stored in the patient's record, not on personal phones, with marketing consent easy to withdraw.

A plain English summary, not legal advice. Rules change, so check the source and take advice from your regulator, indemnity provider, or clinical lead.

Every rule for aesthetics clinics, and what it means for your website

The software you may be using

Good software, wrong fit?

Most aesthetics clinics run on one of a handful of platforms. They are good products. They are also built for thousands of clinics, so they work the way most clinics work.

Aesthetics clinic platforms

  • Pabau
  • Consentz

Good at

Booking, consent forms, treatment notes, and photos in one subscription, built for aesthetics.

May not fit if

Your rules go further than its settings allow, or you want your website and booking to feel like your brand rather than an embedded widget.

Replace or connect

A system built around your exact consultation flow and owned by you, or a custom website and booking front end connected to the platform you already use.

Salon and beauty booking

  • Fresha

Good at

Quick to set up and low cost, with a marketplace that can bring in new clients.

May not fit if

You need clinical steps in the booking: medical history, consent, prescriber sign off, and batch records.

Replace

Booking built for a clinic, with history, consent, and the prescriber's decision in the flow.

The manual way

  • Paper
  • WhatsApp
  • Notebooks

Good at

Free, familiar, and flexible.

May not fit if

Something goes wrong: a product recall, a complaint, or a patient who never came back for their review.

Replace

Records you can search in seconds, and reminders that send themselves.

Product names belong to their owners, and we are not affiliated with any of them. Every clinic is different, so we only recommend replacing software when it is genuinely holding you back.

Before and after

The same day, done differently.

Hizmedia built AiwasLabs around how we actually work: the shop, the bookings, patient accounts, and a report parser our doctors use every day. Reports that used to be retyped by hand now go out in minutes, and more of our visitors book since launch. It feels like our own system, not software we rent.

Common questions.

Not as a promotion. Botulinum toxin is a prescription only medicine, so the ASA treats naming it, or clearly referring to it, as advertising. Your website can present it factually as one possible option after a consultation, so we build pages around concerns and the consultation instead.

That is your clinical decision, not ours. The system can let a prescriber mark a patient as suitable for repeat treatment for a set period, so returning patients book straight in until a fresh assessment is due.

Yes. We can take a deposit or full payment at booking, apply your cancellation policy automatically, and send reminders, which helps cut no-shows and late cancellations.

No. Often the best answer is to keep your current system as the record and build the website, booking, or patient account around it, connected where it offers an API. We only suggest replacing something when it is genuinely holding you back, and we will tell you plainly which is which.

Clinic websites start from £2,400 and are usually live in about four weeks. Booking systems, patient accounts, and online stores start from £6,000. You get the exact figure before any work begins, with no surprises at the end.
