💉 What do you think? Should aesthetic nurse practitioners in England, Wales and Northern Ireland be able to hold stock of prescription medication, just like their peers in Scotland?⁠

✅️ Comment 'THIS' below if you believe cosmetic nurses across the whole of the UK should have the same rights as in Scotland. That is, to be legally permitted to hold stock, regardless of whether they're a prescriber or not⁠

✅️ Comment 'THAT' if you think Scotland has it wrong and aesthetic nurses should not be able to hold stock⁠

⚖️ This is a particularly nuanced debate - for example, you may believe that nurses SHOULD be able to hold stock, but only if they're an aesthetic nurse prescriber. Or, perhaps you want to see nurses - whether prescribers or not - being able to hold emergency stock only.⁠

👇️ So, if your feelings aren't captured entirely by a 'THIS' or a 'THAT' comment, feel free to leave us your thoughts below - whatever they may be!⁠

🔗 You can check out our new interview with Professor David Sines, CBE - Executive Chair of the JCCP - who discusses his thoughts on this and where the JCCP stands on the matter⁠, here: https://bit.ly/ScottishAestheticsRegulationImpactOnEngland

🎓️ As the UK’s leading postgraduate aesthetics training school, we have more graduates than any other provider. This means that, over the years, we’ve seen more than our fair share of ‘red flags’!

💉 Even though we only train healthcare professionals, a medical background isn’t enough to guarantee best practice for botox and fillers. This is especially true of beginners, and it’s why dedicated aesthetics training is so necessary.

👄 Lip filler is one of the most popular treatments we teach; it’s something every trainee wants to try. But it’s deceptively complex.

🔮 In many cases, poor outcomes can be predicted so, if you're looking to level-up your lip filler techniques and produce safe, natural-looking results your patients love, check out this article for a wealth of advice!

🚨 As a medical aesthetics professional, understanding the recent UK outbreak of botulism linked to fake cosmetic Botox is critical for patient safety⁠

💉 We explain the situation and clarify how genuine botulinum toxin differs from counterfeit products, plus why vigilance in sourcing matters⁠

⚠️ We also detail how to distinguish typical eyelid ptosis from the more dangerous drooping linked to systemic botulism. These are clinical details that could help you identify a serious complication early and act decisively⁠

⭐️ This is information every aesthetic practitioner needs to know⁠

⭐️ Managing eyelid ptosis is part of being a responsible aesthetic practitioner, not just a confident one⁠

💧 When brow drop happens, your patient needs reassurance and solutions. Knowing when to use prescription eyedrops - and how - gives you a practical tool to improve both function and appearance⁠

🚀 It’s also about trust. Your patients will feel safer when they know you’re equipped to manage every outcome calmly and clinically⁠

💉 Learn about your options for successfully managing lid ptosis using drops and when to consider re-treatment, in this detailed article⁠

⚠️ Lower face complications are among the most under-recognised yet impactful risks in aesthetic medicine, particularly with popular jawline filler treatments⁠

💀 Understanding the anatomical depth, vascular structures and muscle dynamics of this area is essential for safe, predictable outcomes⁠

💉 Explore practical, evidence-based strategies to minimise complications and elevate your confidence in jawline contouring. We'll also provide details of our Facial Contouring Masterclass if you're looking to really hone your multi-area approaches ⁠

⭐️ Dr Janine Rothburn - a Harley Academy clinical trainer and dental surgeon with a special interest in aesthetics - talks you through the best non-surgical treatment options for reducing gum show⁠

💉 When using toxin, this advanced treatment requires precise anatomical knowledge and careful muscle modulation. Without it, there's a high risk of compromising smile function or creating an unnatural result⁠

👄 In some cases, carefully placed lip filler can be used to support the upper lip. This allows you to add volume and structure to help reduce gum show without botox⁠

🧠 Learn how we cover these treatments in our Perioral & Lip Filler Masterclass to elevate your aesthetics skills and expand your offering!⁠

✅️ Comment THIS below if you use saline to reconstitute Botox⁠, as per the manufacturer's guidelines

✅️ Comment THAT below if you use bacteriostatic saline instead⁠, even though it would make your treatment 'off label', as it may be more comfortable for your patient

⭐️ This is an important and nuanced area of aesthetic medicine. It's one that speaks to the deeper purpose behind our work: helping people feel aligned with how they see themselves⁠

🎯 As aesthetic practitioners, whether we’re supporting a trans woman with gender-affirming care or treating a cisgender woman experiencing age-related masculinisation, the underlying goals are often remarkably similar. But emotionally and psychologically, the context is different⁠

💉We explore multi-area injectable treatment options for trans women looking for non-surgical feminisation, and how best you can support this often underserved cohort to incredibly rewarding outcomes - for both you and your patients⁠

Our Story

We are proud to have developed the first Level 7 Injectables qualification regulated by Ofqual, the government’s Office of Qualifications and Examinations. The term ‘level 7’ was previously relatively unheard of but has since become a hallmark quality education in aesthetics, setting the foundations for safer practice in the UK.

We have also created the first complete qualification suite in Skin Rejuvenation. This course equips practitioners with cutting-edge knowledge so they can treat their patients holistically, meet a wider range of needs and position themselves as experts in their field.

Our ambition is to create a very high standard of care in aesthetics and a community of practitioners confident in their ability to deliver that standard.

Education and innovation is at the heart of everything we do. Our offer is unique because we combine one-to-one mentoring in a real clinic environment with the latest online learning technology in order to offer the best possible educational experience to our students.
