Fantastic News for UK Independent Aesthetic Practitioners!
A huge thank you to all the incredible IAPs who have stood strong, petitioned tirelessly, and raised their voices for our industry. Dedication and perseverance has paid off!
The Radiance Revolution celebrates this milestone with pride, proof that when we unite, we are unstoppable.
We’re here, we’re thriving, and we’re not going anywhere. 🤍
The news is in, and it's a hard YES for Independent Aesthetic Practitioners.
No bans.
No backdoor blocks.
No JCCP fantasyland.
Here's the official confirmation from the UK Government:

Let's break it down and tell you what the hell to do next.
🏆 The Scoreboard Has Spoken
JCCP wanted us banned.
JCCP didn’t get us banned.
JCCP’s minutes weren't “sombre” because they won - They were sombre because THEY GOT SHELVED.
They failed.
They lost.
Their minutes were just fear-mongering spin to control the narrative over us as a last-ditch attempt.
HOWEVER! This isn't over, but for now?
Independent Aesthetic Practitioners: we are NOT being banned.
Just licensing.
🗞 What the Gov Just Confirmed
NO exclusion of so-called “non-medics”
YES to a new licensing scheme
NO special treatment for JCCP
YES to fairness if we keep the pressure on
NO Wild West, and NO Wes Streeting flop.
Instead? Wessy boy came through with a triumph, not a Trump 🎯
🛑 Don't Get Complacent. This Is Just Round One.
Now the real work begins:
Licensing must be fair, proportionate, and affordable, NOT a gatekeeping cash grab.
Every decision now affects our future more than ever
Your qualifications, experience, and tax-paying businesses must count
And the JCCP? They still need to be taken down, brick by shady brick.
🔥 What You MUST Do Next
💪 JOIN THE IAP NOW
👉 https://uk-iap.co.uk/membership/
This organisation is the only one that has been:
🧡 Working day and night
🧡 Spending their OWN money
🧡 Pushing through to the Charity Commission, PSA, CMA, Nationwide Councils, CIEH, Parliamentary Committees and more to be heard on your behalf
🧡 Filing formal, factual complaints
🧡 Calling out misconduct
🧡 Shielding YOU while you were still in shock
They've suffered for all of us. You don't know half of it. But we do, we've been checking in on their work.
📣 Support Them. Stand With Them.
Get your students and colleagues to join too.
This is your seat at the table.
They will guide you through upcoming phases, qualifications, licensing, and consultations.
They are well-organised, professional, and they know the strategy.
The IAP is not just a membership, it's a movement.
A new era
A safe space for Independent Aesthetic Practitioners
(And we say NO to the insulting label “non-medics” 🛑)
⚠️ Say It LOUD: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
We're done with medics slating us online.
See one post saying “Don't go to non-medics?”
➡️ Screenshot it.
➡️ Report it.
➡️ Send it to their regulator.
Let the GMC, NMC and GDC handle their hate speech.
We are lawful, insured, tax-paying business owners.
We will not be erased.
We will not be silenced.
And we sure as hell won’t be told to stay in our lane by a bunch of failed nurses cosplaying as God.
🚫 NEVER Register With JCCP
❌They are not your regulator
❌They are not your standard
❌They are not your moral compass
❌And they are not your future
If Sally Taber calls?
Tell her to f*ck off, politely but firmly.
(Or just hang up. We support both.)
🧭 The Next Phase: Consultation is CRITICAL
You MUST:
❗Show up
❗Make your voice heard
Insist that:
❗Your experience counts
❗Licensing isn't extortion
❗Regulation remains inclusive, fair, and balanced
This is the dawn of a new chapter, but we still need fire in our bellies.

👑 Final Words
The JCCP tried it.
They failed.
They threw us off to mess with us, not because they won, but because they lost and couldn't face it.
This sector is OURS now.
And we'll decide how it's shaped.
FACTS: 1 - JCCP: 0
Welcome to the revolution.
We’re not done.
We’re just getting started. 🧡
