Do I have to travel a long way, or wait a long time to attend a training course?
Medics Direct courses are held regularly, within reasonable travelling distances of most locations in the UK. If you are struggling to make to any of the venues then contact us and we can discuss different options.
The Foundation Botox and Dermal Fillers course lasts for two days. All of the other courses last for one day.
What is included in the Botox and Dermal Fillers Foundation Course?
Information and theory on BOTOX® and dermal fillers, practical demonstrations by experienced practitioners showing how BOTOX® and dermal fillers are administered, hands-on experience for trainees with a model, one-to-one training and practical business advice. To see what other practitioners thought of the foundation course, see our testimonials section.

We run training courses throughout the UK. See our section on course dates or contact us for dates of introductory evenings and courses near you. After you have completed your training, you will be given the opportunity to access further supervision if you feel this is required (travel may be necessary to your nearest available mentor). We will help you to organise your medical cosmetics insurance and you can start immediately.
Which course should I start with?
Any of our training courses could be the starting point for a Medical Cosmetics career but most practitioners find that the Botox and Dermal Fillers course forms the foundation of their practice and start there. From this point you can either broaden your range of treatments on offer by training in Skin Peels, Mesotherapy or Microsclerotherapy or enhance your Botox and Dermal Fillers techniques with our Advanced course.
You will also be able to move onto Mentoring and Teaching Medical Cosmetics.
Medics Direct is a limited company set up to provide Medical Cosmetics training courses with business and clinical support to Registered Nurses, Doctors and Dentists throughout the UK. The company is headed up by Medical Professionals and run with the needs of Medical Professionals at heart.
At Medics Direct we aim to provide the highest level of training in the Medical Cosmetics Industry, using evidence-based and effective products that will form the basis of a successful career for Medical Professionals. Our purpose is not only to deliver courses but to give the support, encouragement and expert advice to enable you to develop and enhance your practice.
We believe in treating clients ethically - that looks are an integral part of someone's overall wellbeing and self esteem and that Aesthetic Practitioners are in a unique and personal position of influencing how people feel about themselves - this should be done with care and empathy and this is something that we cover in our courses.
Do I need insurance to practice?
The certificate you receive after you successfully complete your training course will allow you to get indemnity insurance. We can recommend a good Insurance Company.
How do I get clients and where would I practice?
We will work with you to find beauty salons, spas, and corporate clients that wish to provide medical cosmetics to clients, and employees. We will also promote you on our website and organise advertising/promotions and publicity. In addition, the salons and spas will promote you. All this is covered in our special business seminar.
No. A very lucrative medical cosmetics business can be developed using a combination of evidence-based products and techniques. No one product is essential.
It depends on how many clients you wish to treat and what you are treating them for. For each average client having 1ml of Dermal Filler, you would earn £145.00 from that treatment (suggested costs and profits are approximated and may vary depending on individual practitioner pricing/Salon fees etc.) A client having 3 areas of BOTOX® would earn you £150.00 (this is an approximate amount and is again inclusive of all costs). This money would be earned on average in about half an hour to an hour. On this basis you can see how lucrative a career in Medical Cosmetics can be.
You would be working on an independent basis, hosting your own clinics, and running and promoting your own business. You would be your own boss, but you will be able to call on all the facilities of Medics Direct.
Would I be left on my own after training?
The Medics Direct system provides full support and constant contact, if you want it, with the Medics Direct staff. Medics Direct social and educational events are organised on a regular basis.
Will I get help to organise my business and find clients?
Yes. Part of your course fee goes towards a business seminar directed towards finding and retaining clients. After this, we can provide you with promotional opportunities including having your clinics on our website. We can help you set goals and give you ongoing advice on the most effective ways of getting and keeping clients.
What happens after the Aesthetic Practitioner Course?
Comprehensive support, help to organise insurance, paperwork, and any documents and forms needed to get your new medical cosmetics business up and running. Also business seminars, master-classes, mentoring/support and networking events.
