COURSE DETAILS

The Certificate in Aesthetic Medicine is a rigorously structured, clinically focused training designed for licensed medical professionals aiming to build, refine or solidify their competence in the field of aesthetic medicine.

This program is particularly suited to novice doctors, as well as those who, despite previous certifications, lack the clinical confidence or real world exposure to begin independent practice.

Unlike typical short-format workshops, this course is anchored within a high patient volume, fully functional aesthetic clinic. Delegates engage with real patients under close faculty mentorship, ensuring a practical, protocol driven learning experience.

Training is delivered in small groups (2-3 doctors per patient), allowing for concentrated, step by step guidance through each stage of treatment.

Each delegate manages multiple patients per indication, ensuring procedural continuity from consultation and planning to treatment execution. Core modules include neuromodulators, dermal fillers, energy based devices, lasers regenerative treatments and recent advances. Throughout the course, there is a strong emphasis on clinical accuracy, protocol adherence and patient centred outcomes.
