LEVEL 7 PENDING… 🎓
I talk a lot about striving for excellence, but I also want people to understand what that actually looks like behind the scenes.
I’m currently completing my ProQual Level 7 Diploma in Aesthetic Practice. Level 7 is postgraduate education, studied at the same qualification level as a master’s degree. It is the highest recognised level within the current aesthetics-practice pathway, and it is bloody hard!
This isn’t a quick course, an attendance certificate or something automatically handed to you because you already work in medicine. Medical professionals undertaking this qualification have to complete the same required learning, practical evidence and assessments to earn it.
The full diploma represents 660 hours of study and covers far more than simply learning where to inject. It includes advanced anatomy, consultation and assessment, psychology, ethics, professional practice, botulinum toxin, dermal fillers and, crucially, recognising and managing complications.
This is what taking aesthetics seriously looks like.
The industry is changing, and rightly so. We are moving towards greater regulation, higher standards and proper accountability. Hopefully, it will begin to separate highly educated, responsible practitioners from the people offering £70 lips in the back of a hairdresser’s or from a garden shack as though injecting someone’s face carries no more risk than painting their nails.
It isn’t acceptable. I don’t care who that upsets.
When somebody trusts me with their face, that responsibility doesn’t begin and end with the appointment. You remain my client. I will always do everything within my ability to look after you, support you and deal honestly with any concern or complication.
No practitioner can promise that a treatment will be entirely without risk, but I can promise that I will never stop learning, never become complacent and never put cheap, fast treatment ahead of your safety.
Qualifications matter. Standards matter. Accountability matters.
Choose your practitioner carefully. You are paying for this level of safety, responsibility and care 🤍
