LA Aire Launches NZ-First Accreditation for Safer Cosmetic Care
As concerns grow around the lack of cosmetic medicine regulations and training, LA Aire—New Zealand’s leading cosmetic medicine consultancy—is stepping in to fill a crucial gap in safety, ethics and clinical accountability.
Co-founded by Dr Nameer Wadea and Dr Peter Aspell, LA Aire has introduced a national first: LA Aire Accreditation.
This new benchmark gives both clinics and patients confidence that accredited providers are operating at the highest level of clinical governance. More than a badge, it’s a signal of professionalism and a promise of safe, ethical care in a market where standards can vary widely.
“With LA Aire Accreditation, we’re providing patients with the assurance that their treatments are conducted under stringent safety protocols and ethical practices,” says Dr Wadea.
What accreditation means
Clinicians and clinics with LA Aire Accreditation:
- Meet strict safety protocols and infection-control standards
- Are ethically governed and held accountable
- Have demonstrated the appropriate qualifications, training, and experience to responsibly perform aesthetic treatments
- Have access to 24/7 medical oversight from NZSCM-accredited doctors, providing peace of mind to patients
Displaying the LA Aire Accreditation badge shows patients that a clinic puts their wellbeing at the centre of every treatment. This structure supports both patients and practitioners, offering legal and clinical guidance, access to ongoing education and a future-ready framework for evolving cosmetic regulation.
“In an industry that’s rapidly evolving, it’s crucial to have a standard that ensures both safety and quality,” says Dr Aspell.
Why it matters
LA Aire Accreditation helps lift the entire industry. Backed by support from local councils, healthcare regulators and advertising standards bodies, it offers clinics a way to lead with transparency, not just compliance.
In addition to accreditation, LA Aire’s services include cosmetic training, clinical governance, standing orders and business consultancy, led by NZSCM accredited doctors.
