Frequently Asked Questions
Advanced courses aside, the main business of the HUB is to take novices and train them to practise with confidence. You will not only feel confident to start but will feel confident to launch your career in aesthetic medicine.
We have entire HUB training modules on the pros and cons or where to practice and how best to set up your fledgling practice. One of the benefits of medical professionals in aesthetic medicine is that some of you already have a safe, clean and regulated place to practice, your own surgery!
Medical professionals are the best people to be practising aesthetic medicine. You have a highly transferrable skillset in that you understand medicine, unlike non medics. You inject many times a day and have manual dexterity, confidence and important medical knowledge Our program is designed to leverage these transferrable skills to get you to a level of competence quickly and efficiently.
Aesthetic medicine will reward your artistic talents in a way that many medical careers do not. Many practitioners complain about not being able to exercise creativity and expand their talents in dentistry, medicine and nursing. Aesthetics provides you with a balance where you are able to use your dexterity and creativity to create beautiful work.
This is a difficult question to answer and depends on a number of factors. What is certain is that you will have the best education in both aesthetic medicine and also the marketing, business skills and soft skills you need to succeed.
Check out the course information pages for the number of CPD hours available. Our courses combine online learning with hands on days. All our courses are CPD verified and insurer-approved.
Dr MJ is always available for you to ask questions, attend courses and shadow her work. A typical complications clinic is full of professionals here to learn. Be it complications, injection technique, marketing strategy or vetting a supplier for your practice, we’ve done it all before and we have the answers. You will also be invited to join our HUB Graduates Community for ongoing support.
Aesthetic patients are great. They are happy to pay for treatment and say yes to treatment plans. Medical aesthetics is fully discretionary and the patients are more receptive to sales and marketing than health-focussed patients or NHS patients. We will teach you how to capitalise on these factors.
We only train medical professionals and you will need to provide evidence of your professional registration. We train dentists, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, dental therapists & hygienists, and physician associates. For foundation courses you don’t need any aesthetic medicine experience.

    • the best training I have attended in my 11 years in Aesthetic Medicine.

    I recently attended the Hands on ultrasound training day with Dr MJ and can honestly say that this is the best training I have attended in my 11 years in Aesthetic Medicine. The whole team, from the booking process to the training were so helpful and organised. MJ’s knowledge and teaching style is another level of training and I would encourage all my medical aesthetic colleagues to attend this amazing course. The pre course training was fantastic as well as the hands on training. I felt so supported throughout the whole process. I have since introduced ultrasound scanning into my Aesthetic Practice and thanks to Dr MJ can add another level of safety to my Patient’s treatment plans. I will definitely be returning for more courses in the future.

    • I couldn’t recommend this course enough, MJ is incredibly knowledgeable and leader of the industry, you really are being taught by the best!

    I just finished my foundation training with MJ. The online content gives you a great depth and breadth of understanding to prepare you for putting this into practice. It’s great to know you have the most up to date and evidence based content, plus treatment videos to look back on whenever you need. What I loved about the hands on course was that you get stuck into treating patients with guidance from MJ. MJ and Charlotte were so supportive and encouraging throughout. I have left feeling confident to get started and put all this great teaching into action! I couldn’t recommend this course enough, MJ is incredibly knowledgeable and leader of the industry, you really are being taught by the best! When it’s time to further my training I wouldn’t look anywhere else!

    What can I say about MJ and her team? You’re all rockstars. I felt at home from the first email of booking until the end of the course. MJ is a fountain of knowledge and she wants to share it with her delegates and make aesthetics safe and predictable for the patients. The Smileworks team are all helpful and astute. I will definitely be back for more training (and treatment!)

    A brilliant course, I learnt so much and really enjoyed how hands on it was. It was everything I needed to get started using ultrasound as part of my practice.
