Summary

The Special Treatments Registration Policy sets out the Council’s approach to regulating certain beauty and cosmetic procedures that involve breaking or altering the skin, such as tattooing, cosmetic piercing, semi-permanent skin colouring, electrolysis, and acupuncture. These treatments can pose health risks if not carried out safely, so the policy ensures that practitioners and premises meet strict standards for hygiene and competence. It provides clear guidance for applicants, supports consistent decision-making, and underpins enforcement to protect public health. By requiring registration and compliance with conditions, the Council aims to reduce risk, promote best practice, and maintain confidence in the safety of these services across the Island.
