👇️ Learn how to support patients with aesthetic concerns stemming from medically-assisted weight loss
As the MHRA has just approved a higher dose of Wegovy for the UK, we take a look at the cosmetic impact
💉 GLP-1 injections can cause rapid weight loss, which can also result in, often unwanted, facial fat loss. As medications such as Mounjaro continue to gain in popularity, so do patients seeking non surgical solutions for what's become known as 'Ozempic Face'. This typically involves:
✅️ Volume loss leading to sagging and/or hollowing
✅️ Skin laxity and a general loss of definition
✅️ Fine lines and wrinkles developing or becoming more pronounced
⭐️ We spoke to Harley Academy's Head of Clinical Training, Dr Max Greenfield for his advice on the best modalities to treat this growing cohort, as well as information on how aesthetic practitioners should adapt their clinical consultations in these instances

⭐️ Cosmetic nurse, Jayne, from in Leeds, has worked in aesthetic medicine for over 15 years alongside her NHS role
💉 After retiring from the NHS, she took on a new challenge - to increase her confidence, expand her treatment menu and learn new skills in cosmetic injectables!
🎓 Jayne chose to train with us, taking our Ofqual-regulated and JCCP-approved qualification, the Level
7 Diploma in Cosmetic Injectables.
🙌 Not only did she want to build confidence and competence, she also wanted to prepare for incoming aesthetics regulation, and decided Harley Academy was the best fit to help her do this - especially as a non-prescribing aesthetic nurse.
👏 We love Jayne’s candour and passion for what she does, as well as her commitment to elevating her techniques for her patients.
🚀 As she explains, since getting to grips with new approaches for upper face botulinum toxin treatments during her practical mentoring sessions, patients at her clinic have had better results than ever!
If you’re looking to get into aesthetics as a beginner or with some basic training behind you, we can help. Check the link in our bio for a range of options, or just drop us a DM! 📩

⚠️ Want to know what you can and can't say to promote botulinum toxin treatments to your aesthetic patients? Click here 👇️
https://bit.ly/HowToAdvertiseToxinTreatmentsLegally
💉 It's against both the law and the Committee of Advertising Practice Ltd regulations - the CAP Code - to advertise any prescription-only medications to the public, and enforcement is becoming an increasingly high priority for the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA)
🚫 'Advertising' doesn't just mean paid ads, either - it includes any social media content on your or your clinic's account, plus your website, posters, flyers and more. And no, you can't get around the rules by calling it 'anti wrinkle treatment'!
📲 Read our updated guidance, with helpful bitesize video information from CAP, to help you understand - and stay within - the rules

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.
We are passionate about empowering professionals with the latest and safest techniques so they can evolve in their careers. Community is also key for us and our students can speed up their learning curve through mentorship programs, workshops and forums.
It is no surprise that 90% of our Level 7 graduates already have successful aesthetic practices, and our student body keeps on growing.
At its best, aesthetics is a truly satisfying specialty which significantly improves the quality of life for our patients while providing a rewarding practice and an unmatched lifestyle to the clinician.
