About MAL

Medical Support for a Professional, Patient-Safe Clinic

Aesthetic injection procedures require appropriate professional credentials, safe medication management, clinical documentation, patient information, hygiene and systematic quality assurance. Our services help your clinic organise medical support according to its treatments, patient population and contractual needs. MAL is an industry term for contracted physician support. This service does not replace the legal responsibilities of the healthcare provider or clinic manager (verksamhetschef), and no prescription or medication order is issued without an individual medical assessment.

What Is Included in Our MAL Services?

Medication Orders and PrescriptionsPhysician assessment, individual patient-specific medication orders and prescription support within applicable regulations and the agreed service scope.
Medical ConsultationSupport with clinical questions, contraindications, medicines and individual patient cases.
Complication SupportMedical guidance on assessment, appropriate action and onward management. Emergencies must follow the clinic’s emergency protocols.
Clinical Quality ManagementSupport with documents, procedures and processes covering medication handling, hygiene, incident reporting, complaints and patient safety.

Who we help

For Nurses, Dentists and Aesthetic Clinics

01

Who do we work with?

We work with licensed professionals and businesses that require medical support for aesthetic injection procedures, including botulinum toxin, dermal fillers and other treatments involving medication-related questions. The need for a prescription or medication order depends on the product, professional authorisation and the individual patient’s circumstances.

02

Does a MAL agreement confer authorisation?

A training certificate or MAL agreement does not, by itself, confer legal authorisation to perform a treatment. Every healthcare provider remains responsible for ensuring that personnel, premises, operations and treatments meet applicable requirements.

Quality-Management Systems for Aesthetic Clinics — MAL PREMIUM

MAL PREMIUM includes support with documentation and procedures for systematic quality assurance. Materials may address roles and responsibilities, medication handling, hygiene, patient records, patient information, consent, incidents, complaints, patient safety and follow-up. Each clinic must adapt, approve and implement its procedures; document templates alone do not constitute an operational quality-management system.

IVO’s 2023 inspections found shortcomings in areas such as medication handling, hygiene, documentation and patient information – with a MAL you get routines that hold up.

MAL PREMIUM

Quality-management system for aesthetic practices – MAL PREMIUM

  • About 17 documents: routines, record templates and medication handling
  • Handling of incidents and complaints
  • Template for the patient safety report
  • Support from Dr Alex when the routines are introduced

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About MAL and Physician Support

Can’t find the answer here? Email or call – we’ll reply as soon as we can.

Is every aesthetic clinic legally required to appoint a MAL?+

MAL is an industry term, not a universally mandated statutory position with that exact title. The medical support a clinic needs depends on its treatments, medicines and organisation. The healthcare provider always retains its own legal responsibilities.

Do nurses need physician medication orders for Botox?+

Botulinum toxin is a prescription-only medicine. Legal authority to prescribe or order a medicine is separate from the right to perform aesthetic injection procedures. Each patient and medication order must be handled under applicable regulations.

Can dentists use MAL services?+

Yes, subject to assessment of the practice’s needs. Dentists’ prescribing rights are regulated and limited; the service must reflect the treatments and professional authorisations involved.

Can aesthetic injections be delegated?+

Aesthetic injection procedures governed by the specific Swedish legislation cannot be delegated to individuals lacking the required professional authorisation.

Are individual medication orders included?+

STANDARD includes up to 15 and PREMIUM up to 30 individual orders/month, subject to agreement. BASIC does not include individual orders.

How much do additional medication orders cost?+

SEK 250 excluding VAT per order beyond the quantity included in STANDARD or PREMIUM, subject to agreement.

Can you help with complications?+

Medical consultation and complication support are included in STANDARD and PREMIUM. Emergencies require immediate management under the clinic’s emergency procedures and, where necessary, emergency healthcare.

Is a quality-management system included?+

A quality-management system is included in PREMIUM. Each healthcare provider must adapt and implement the templates and procedures.

Are services available throughout Sweden?+

Digital support may be available to clinics throughout Sweden if an individual assessment confirms that the arrangement can be delivered safely and lawfully.

How do I get started?+

Choose a package, complete the application and provide relevant clinic documentation. Services begin only after review, approval and agreement.
