Aesthetic Medicine Online PGCert

You will gain a thorough theoretical training in aesthetic medicine, with a particular focus on non-operative techniques. Explore the science and principles behind sought-after procedures, including botulinum toxin injections, dermal fillers, and laser treatments.

This programme specifically focuses on complementing your existing practical skills with knowledge on key issues in the aesthetic medicine profession, as well as evaluation and self-appraisal, and autonomy in the planning and management of learning. As such, the information covered is designed for you to develop an improved theoretical understanding of procedures, patient management, and key issues, rather than explicit practical training in aesthetic medicine techniques.

We have a large number of specialists teaching on the course, and many are world leaders in their fields. These include academics from other institutions, clinicians, and specialists from the medical industry.

Through interactive webinars and online lectures, videos and literature, you will gain confidence in a number of skills including evaluation and self-appraisal, and autonomy in the planning and management of learning. You also have the chance to put your learning to the test via optional simulation training.

Many of our students choose to progress onto the PGDip in Aesthetic Medicine which covers further modules such as 'Medicolegal Aspects and Patient Psychology', 'Regenerative and Cell Based Approaches', 'Advanced Aesthetic Modalities', and Principles of Practice Management. Many then go on to the MSc in Aesthetic Medicine (to complete a dissertation) to further their theoretical knowledge and understanding of other areas of aesthetic medicine, or develop their research skills.
