Understanding LCP Categories
The Letter of Credentialing and Privileging (LCP) is issued by the Malaysian Medical Council to doctors who are qualified to perform aesthetic procedures. It comes in four categories based on the doctor's training, qualifications, and the scope of aesthetic procedures they're permitted to perform.
- Who qualifies
- Registered medical doctors (MMC) who are currently completing the accredited training pathway required to obtain a LCP. They are practising under supervision while working toward formal LCP certification.
- Scope of practice
- Limited to procedures performed under the direct supervision of an LCP-certified doctor at a registered facility. Not yet permitted to independently perform aesthetic procedures.
- Typical procedures
- Assisting on consultations and procedures, observation, and supervised hands-on training across non-invasive treatments such as botulinum toxin, dermal fillers, chemical peels, and laser treatments.
- Who qualifies
- Registered medical doctors who completed accredited LCP training in non-invasive and minimally invasive aesthetics.
- Scope of practice
- Non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments only.
- Typical procedures
- Botulinum toxin, dermal fillers, chemical peels, mesotherapy, microneedling, IPL, non-ablative lasers.
- Who qualifies
- Doctors with a recognised specialist qualification (e.g. Dermatology) plus additional aesthetic training.
- Scope of practice
- Chapter 1 scope plus advanced energy-based and intermediate procedures within their specialty.
- Typical procedures
- Ablative lasers, advanced threads, sclerotherapy, deeper peels, fractional resurfacing, complex pigmentation work.
- Who qualifies
- Registered surgeons (e.g. Plastic Surgery) credentialed for surgical aesthetic procedures.
- Scope of practice
- Full scope including invasive surgical aesthetic procedures under appropriate facility standards.
- Typical procedures
- Rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, facelift, liposuction, breast surgery, fat grafting and other surgical procedures.
Always confirm that the procedure you're booking falls within the doctor's listed LCP category and scope. Doctors marked 'In Training' must be supervised by an LCP-certified practitioner.
Common questions patients ask before booking
Why should I check a doctor's LCP before an aesthetic treatment?Open
Aesthetic treatments can involve injections, lasers, peels and other procedures. Checking the doctor's registry listing helps you confirm the basics before you book: registered name, LCP number, chapter, expiry date and listed scope.
What does LCP mean for aesthetic treatments?Open
LCP stands for Letter of Credentialing and Privileging. It indicates that the medical practitioner appears in the registry for aesthetic medical practice for the relevant chapter and scope.
What if the clinic brand is famous, but I cannot find the doctor?Open
Search the actual doctor, not only the clinic brand. Ask who will personally perform the treatment and request their full registered name, MMC number and LCP number.
Is a found listing the same as a guarantee of safety?Open
No. A listing is a strong trust signal, but patients should still check that the certificate is current, the exact procedure is within scope, and the doctor will personally perform or supervise the treatment.
What if the LCP expiry date on record has passed?Open
MOH updates this registry periodically and renewals can take time to appear. Ask the clinic to show the doctor's current LCP letter before treatment.
What should I do if my doctor is not found?Open
Spelling variations are common. Ask the clinic for the full registered doctor name, MMC number and LCP number, then try again. If still unclear, we can verify manually via WhatsApp.
Still unsure? We'll verify for you.
