What to expect on the Aesthetics course for Doctors?
For our foundation course, you should expect to spend the whole day at our training site. During this time, you’ll be part of a small group of trainees paired with Dr Stephen Hennessy himself. This gives you the best opportunity to ask questions and make sure that you’re following along precisely.
There will be a mixture of theoretical and practical learning. The theory not only includes the information behind why we use certain products and the science behind them, but it also includes information that’s important to setting up an aesthetic business.
As a doctor, you should be confident that you will pick up things in this industry quickly so you should be confident to approach our advanced courses relatively quickly.
The demand for Botox and dermal fillers has never been higher so if you’d like to join a multi-billion-pound industry then book your place on one of our foundation or advanced aesthetics courses today.

Frequently Asked Questions from Botox Professionals
Not only does this mean you will be more experienced than people who have only practiced on dummies, but you will also have experience in reacting to and adapting your technique to suit the different face and lip structure of individual people.
We make sure that all of the trainees in our class complete a full series of injections across multiple models so that they have a complete experience in all of the major Botox and filler services.
If you wish, you can bring your own model with you. By doing this, you can see the effects of your work over time. All trainees will work on every model present though so bare this in mind if you want to bring your own model.
The only problem is we know that doctors are already extremely overworked so we’re sure that any free time you have you might want to spend with your family or relaxing. That’s why we usually see junior doctors who have the time to also perform some part time work benefitting most from juggling aesthetics and NHS work.
The only thing to consider is if you are a first stage foundation doctor and cannot prescribe Botox (as it is a prescription only medication) you will need to work with another doctor or qualified prescriber who can consult with your patients before you administer Botox on them.
However, you should have some belief in yourself! You’re a trained medical professional and are among some of the most skilled individuals in the country.
We’ll give you plenty of business tips to help you get started. As well as this, you’ll have access to private groups and chats with the rest of our alumni where we encourage a supportive and helpful environment. You can use this to ask any questions you have in the future and reassure yourself that you’re not the only one who gets nervous after making a big career change.
If you still aren’t sure if starting your own business is what you want to do then you can always seek employment at a current clinic. With your experience after completing our course, any good clinic would be glad to have you.
Working at a current clinic also means your yearly salary may be set. This means it will be more reliable and consistent but it won’t offer the highest pay ceilings that working for yourself does.
