Dr. Gabriela Aguilar Medical Aesthetics is registered as an independent doctors consulting service providing a range of non-surgical aesthetic treatments for patients over the age of 18 years.

This service is registered with CQC under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 in respect of some, but not all, of the services it provides. There are some exemptions from regulation by CQC which relate to particular types of regulated activities and services and these are set out in Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 of The Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. Dr. Gabriela Aguilar Medical Aesthetics provides a range of non-surgical cosmetic interventions, for example dermal fillers and body slimming procedures which are not within the CQC scope of registration. Therefore, we did not inspect or report on these services.

Dr. Gabriela Aguilar is the registered manager. A registered manager is a person who is registered with the Care Quality Commission to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are ‘registered persons’. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the service is run.
