Special treatments licence

If you run a business that offers beauty treatments, massage, alternative therapies or tanning facilities, you may need a special treatments licence.

Renew your special treatments licence

Special treatment licences are valid from 1 February of one year to 31 January the following year. It is your responsibility to renew it before it expires. 

If you do not renew it in time, you will need to apply for a new licence, which will cost more. You must stop providing licensable treatments until we approve your new application.
