What you need to know...
The licence must cover the premises and everyone offering treatments. To carry out treatments without a current licence is illegal.
You must still have an annual licence under the 1991 act if your premises held:
- a massage or special treatment licence
- a cosmetic skin piercing registration under previous legislation.
