Independent Inspectorate
Setting the standard for professional inspections in the aesthetic industry
Our Mission
The National Medspa Association (NMSA) was established as a result of the lack of professional independent inspections of both non-invasive and invasive aesthetic practitioners and/or training providers. To ensure that consumers had a choice in the area of non-surgical and surgical aesthetic treatments, it was essential that a set standard was met as a minimum requirement.
The introduction of NOS (NMSA Occupational Standard) was critical to ensure a fair and equal chance of success for all practitioners and/or training providers offering these types of treatments.
Ending Unregulated Practices
It is time to put an end to the unregulated marketplace where practicing non-invasive and invasive aesthetic treatments without proper training or experience is permitted. NMSA will carry out inspections of the practitioner and/or training provider premises (from where they operate).
NMSA is working to seek fit-for-purpose high self-regulation of both the non-invasive and invasive aesthetic industry, to include all those who are offering these treatments to the public.
Eliminating Wandering Practitioners
NMSA aims to eliminate the 'wandering' practitioner and/or training provider who goes without inspection and who has no responsibility to the public. The Inspectorate Body will ensure that all inspected practitioners work to a certain standard and criteria and operate from designated premises.
When the public see the NMSA inspected sign, they know that the practitioner and/or training provider has met the inspection requirements. This includes the inspection of the premises in line with the recognized Code of Practice, which includes business operation, quality, cleanliness, and hygiene, as well as the practical administration of the treatment and overall business practice.
Externally Audited Quality
The NMSA is committed to quality, and they are the only Inspectorate Body that is externally audited to the non-invasive and invasive aesthetic scope. When non-invasive and invasive aesthetic practitioners and/or training providers are inspected by NMSA, the consumer can be assured that their provider of choice has complied with criteria and standards that meet occupational standards.
The NMSA is open to be involved with any standard improvements and will be working with like-minded organizations to establish high quality, controlled performance, transparent standards, and a level playing ground for all qualified and inspected practitioners and/or training providers of the aesthetic industry.
Vision for National Recognition
The NMSA seeks a high level of self-regulation, with expectations that the government may recognize one national standard for practitioners and/or training providers working in the area of both non-invasive and invasive aesthetics.
