Course content produced by medical & beauty experts.

Aesthetic therapy is part of the beauty industry but it is not beauty therapy. It is often led by energy devices, many treatments move past cosmetics into a structural or permanent impact on the epidermis. Course content is rigorously researched, what is taught at ATAI always has an evidence base. While the content is advanced it is written in an inclusive manner for learners of all academic levels.

Our aesthetics courses are all designed for people without existing experience, as such core skills of client care, professionalism, ethics, psychology for aesthetic practice and clinical governance are all covered. You will gain the needed skills to holistically treat the bodies largest organ while understanding how diet and environmental factors influence skin health. We move far beyond brand training to equip you with the understanding of the science behind cosmeceutical products and the knowledge of evidence-based practice to make informed decisions for complex treatment protocols. We think you would have to agree, there ever been a more exciting time to be in the world of aesthetic beauty.
