Foundation Botox & Dermal Fillers Course
Our foundation botox and dermal fillers course is designed for clinicians entering injectables for the first time. Starting a career in aesthetic medicine shouldn't feel like entering a maze of complex terminology and overcrowded classrooms. At Harley Street Institute, we make your first step into aesthetics clear, structured, and genuinely confidence-building.
I attended the foundation Botox and fillers course with no previous experience in aesthetics. The course was well presented with an online package followed by practical training. Would highly recommend.

Great experience from start to finish! All staff were so kind and helpful. The trainer, Dr Hena, was very skilled and knowledgeable, she supported the group throughout the day to ensure we all felt confident.
Fantastic foundation course. Very hands-on with live models. The ratio of delegates to trainers was excellent. Left feeling confident and ready to start treating patients.

Beginner Botox and Filler Course for Medical Professionals
Most programmes promise confidence but deliver confusion — too many slides, too many people, too little needle time. Our foundation botox and dermal fillers course is structured very differently.
We keep it focused. We keep it small. This approach ensures beginner injectables training is practical, logical, and immediately applicable.

Personal attention guaranteed
Real live models
Not mannequins or demos
Logic over memorizing
Understanding-based teaching
Modern safety principles
Red-flag recognition
Over 95% of our graduates begin treating immediately after completing aesthetic medicine foundation training — not because we rush them, but because we teach combined botox and dermal fillers training in a way that makes sense.
Course Summary
Foundation Aesthetics Course in the UK (Harley Street, London)
This injectables foundation course is suitable for doctors, dentists, nurses, and other registered healthcare professionals entering entry-level injectables training:
Prerequisites:
- • Active registration with GMC, GDC, NMC, GPhC, HCPC etc.
- • Indemnity insurance (provided for the training day)
- • Basic experience with patient care
Before You Arrive — Online Theory That Actually Helps
Before attending the on-site injectables foundation training day, you will complete our online pre-learning modules. The pre-learning modules provide a grounding in botulinum toxin and dermal fillers training before hands-on practice:
This pre-course theory allows the terminology, anatomy, and concepts to settle in naturally, so you arrive prepared and confident. Because your online learning covers the theory, your in-person foundation training becomes almost entirely practical.
What Happens On the Day
Your day begins with a relaxed discussion with your instructors. Instead of delivering another long lecture, we focus on clarification, questions, and preparation for hands-on practice.
And then you get straight to injecting.
Most of your foundation training day will be practical, guided work on real patients. You will inject, observe, refine, and repeat — with continuous feedback from Harley Street clinicians.
Throughout the day, you ask the real questions that matter:
- • "Is this the correct depth for this injection?"
- • "Should this patient have toxin, filler, or both?"
- • "Where is the safe zone here?"
- • "Is this asymmetry normal or concerning?"
- • "How do I reduce discomfort in this area?"
This is where knowledge becomes logic, and logic becomes skill.

An honest word from your trainers
Most graduates earn more from skin than from injectables in their first year.
The Foundation Botox & Fillers Course is a strong start — but it is not a complete clinic. Before you commit, look at the maths below and consider upgrading to the Certificate in Aesthetic Medicine (CAM). It is the upgrade pathway we recommend to almost every trainee.
Realistic income proposal — per treatment
UK private-clinic averages. Monthly figure assumes a conservative 4 clinic days per month at full capacity. Your local pricing and patient volume will vary.
| Treatment | Price / session | Revenue / day | Revenue / month* | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| What this Foundation course alone unlocks | |||||
| Botox (3 areas) | £250 | £1,500 | £6,000 | ||
| Lip Filler (1ml) | £250 | £1,000 | £4,000 | ||
| Additional treatments unlocked by upgrading to CAM — the low-hanging fruit | |||||
| Skin Peel (medium-depth) Repeat course of 4–6 sessions per patient | £150 | £900 | £3,600 | ||
| Microneedling (face) Course of 3–4 sessions standard | £200 | £1,000 | £4,000 | ||
| Polynucleotides (per session) Protocol of 2–3 sessions | £400 | £2,000 | £8,000 | ||
| Profhilo (per session) 2 sessions, 4 weeks apart | £450 | £2,700 | £10,800 | ||
| PRP (face) 3-session course typical | £350 | £1,750 | £7,000 | ||
*Monthly figure based on 4 clinic days/month at full capacity for that single treatment. Real-world clinics blend treatments; your actual mix will determine total earnings.
Foundation Botox & Fillers — alone
~ £4,000–£6,000 / month
Realistic ceiling for a part-time injector relying solely on Botox & lip filler in the first year. Patient return cycle: every 3–4 months.
With Certificate in Aesthetic Medicine (CAM)
~ £10,000–£14,000 / month
Same part-time clinic, but with skin treatments running monthly between injectable cycles. Patients return more often, and complication risk is lower.
Want the maths talked through honestly?
CAM combines Foundation, Advanced and the full Skin Rejuvenation Certificate. You can still book Foundation alone — but most trainees ask for the upgrade after the first day.
