Our Ethos
The Interface Approach
At Interface Aesthetics we offer the very highest standard of training because of our experienced and diverse team, with expertise amassed over many years of working in facial aesthetics.
Our faculty is unique in the independent training provider space in the UK, in that each and every faculty trainer possess genuine and verifiable expertise in their field. We exclusively train registered healthcare professionals, and international equivalents. This commitment to expert-led training for healthcare professionals is our core mission, and is central to being officially recognised as the UK’s best independent training provider in 2024.
Global Expertise
Among our faculty we are able to draw on doctors, surgeons, dentists and nurses who include global leaders in injectables practice, research and education, such as our Founding Director Mr James Olding.
Our training is enriched by the clinicians at the forefront of research and practice in regenerative medicine, such as Dr Raquel Amado, as well as some of the most award-decorated injectors in the UK, such as Julie Scott INP. Our team is bolstered by some of the leading Key Opinion Leaders for pharmaceutical faculties in the UK, like Dr Yousrah Ahmed and Dr Ahmed El-Housseiney, who work seamlessly alongside dually-qualified injectors working in the NHS in facial surgery, such as Mr Felix Karst.
Understanding that expertise knows no borders, we are proud to have expanded our Faculty to include international experts, including Plastic & Reconstructive surgeon Dr Nicola Kefalas (Italy), and Maxillofacial surgeon Dr Alessandra Dall Magro (Brazil). We also boast faculty trainers that embody the art of combining entrepreneurship with clinical excellence, including Dr Davina Wilson and Dr Jane Leonard.
Embracing and growing talent safeguards the future of our organisation and of the aesthetics industry, and we are proud to invest in nurturing the rising stars of the injectables field within our own Faculty such as Dr Jordan Faulkner. Simply put, our training faculty is unparalleled in the UK injectables educational space.
Educational & Research Leadership
Improving standards also means providing comprehensive and evidence-based training. In addition to adhering to current guidance on aesthetic practice, at Interface Aesthetics we are national leaders in campaigns for stronger regulation of the aesthetics industry.
We back up this commitment with real world action, through being one of just a handful of providers of the OFQUAL-regulated VTCT Level 7 Postgraduate Diploma in Injectables, ensuring we are able to offer delegates the gold standard core competencies qualification in aesthetics.
We are also a JCCP-approved training institution, guaranteeing our delegates the most robust standards of education and practice now and in the future. Uniquely, we are an approved centre for clinical research, and our team, led by Mr James Olding, is actively involved in leading randomised controlled trials in cosmetic injectables; the ultimate testament to the ethos and credentials that form the foundations of our training offering.
Our commitment to research and evidence-based practice permeates every level of our organisation. Mr Olding is a clinical trial Principal Investigator, and Mr Felix Karst a Sub-Investigator. Both have mentored hundreds of junior mentees to produces research over the past 3 years, and more recently have supported mentees into leadership positions within the Interface Aesthetics research initiative.
In turn, mentees have become mentors, with past JTMS mentees like Dr Sarika Grover, Dr Zeanab Chaer & Dr Rahim Feddag now undertaking leadership roles in research projects involving the next generation of healthcare professionals joining our training. Our research story represents the very essence of talent creation in healthcare.
Pioneers in Training Development
Interface Aesthetics is at the forefront of new training and mentorship development, pioneering pathways and approaches in innovative and novel ways. These innovations include the creation of a structured training pathway that runs from entry-level to expert.
We operate a comprehensive pathway that consists in the gold standard training in injectables, leading postgraduate healthcare professionals from their first course through to full-face mastery across multiple treatment modalities. We also boast the most comprehensive online learning platform in the UK aesthetics sector: e-Interface. This online hub has over 100 hours of 4K video content, supporting all of our face-to-face courses, while also providing flexible learning through the delivery of online courses, such as our Complications Masterclass.
Our innovative approach to training encompasses every level of injector, from complete beginner to international expert. For those starting out in aesthetics, we created the first and only entry-level mentorship scheme for junior healthcare professionals called the Junior Trainee Mentorship Scheme (JTMS), now in its fourth year with over 300 alumni. At the other end of the spectrum, for international and UK-based expert injectors, we run a unique mentorship scheme for those looking to accelerate growth across clinical practice, leadership, research and public speaking.
Since 2022, our offering has moved to incorporate larger events through the launches of two separate congresses, FACExpo & FACExpert. Diversifying our delivery of training, these events form a growing part of our strategy to boost opportunities for delegates in networking, research and clinical practice alongside the formal training offered via our educational pathway.
Award Winning Learning Resources
E-Interface is the online video library consisting of over 100 hours of clinical cases, webinars, and guided learning. This unique resource continues to grow, and all resources are developed by our expert faculty of trainers and educators.
