My JCCP Registration Has Been Renewed for a Further Two Years
What this means for patient safety at Dr Janice Brown Aesthetics & Skin, Hillsborough
A Commitment to Safety, Standards, and Accountability
I’m pleased to confirm that my registration with the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP) has been successfully renewed for a further two years.
This registration is not automatic. It requires ongoing evidence of appropriate qualifications, training, clinical governance, and professional accountability. For patients, it provides reassurance that treatments are delivered within a regulated, ethical framework.
I am currently the only aesthetic clinic registered with the JCCP in Hillsborough, and this distinction reflects my long-standing commitment to safe, medically led aesthetic practice.
What Is the JCCP – and Why Does It Matter?
The Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP) is a UK-based regulatory body established to promote patient safety, professional standards, and transparency in non-surgical cosmetic treatments.
While aesthetic medicine itself is not yet fully regulated in the UK, the JCCP sets a nationally recognised benchmark for best practice.
To maintain JCCP registration, practitioners must demonstrate:
- Appropriate primary medical or dental qualification
- Advanced training in aesthetic medicine
- Up-to-date professional indemnity
- Ongoing CPD and revalidation
- Clear consent, prescribing, and aftercare pathways

Why JCCP Registration Is Especially Important in Aesthetics
Injectable and regenerative aesthetic treatments require a deep understanding of facial anatomy, ageing, risk management, and complication recognition.
As a dentist with over 15 years’ injecting experience and an MSc in Aesthetic Medicine, my approach has always been grounded in clinical assessment, conservative treatment planning, and patient safety — not trends or quick fixes.
JCCP registration reinforces this approach by holding practitioners accountable to nationally recognised safety and governance standards.
The Importance of Choosing a Registered, Medically Led Clinic
Patients are increasingly aware of the risks associated with unregulated aesthetic treatments — particularly when procedures are carried out without appropriate training, prescribing rights, or aftercare support.
At Dr Janice Brown Aesthetics & Skin, this means:
- Face-to-face medical consultations
- Prescriber-led treatment planning
- Transparent discussion of risks and benefits
- Appropriate product selection and dosing
- Clear aftercare and follow-up
This standard of care applies across all treatments offered, including anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, Sculptra, polynucleotides, PRP / iPRF, skin boosters, and Tixel.
What This Means for Patients in Hillsborough and Beyond
For patients seeking aesthetic treatments in Hillsborough, Lisburn, Belfast, and surrounding areas, JCCP registration provides an additional layer of reassurance.
It confirms that your practitioner:
- Meets nationally recognised safety standards
- Is appropriately qualified and insured
- Works within a clinical, ethical framework
- Prioritises long-term outcomes over short-term trends
