I’ve done both the Foundation and Advanced day courses with Interface Aesthetics and had such a great experience. Both days were really hands-on and interactive, which made learning so much easier and more enjoyable. Getting the chance to practise on live models on the day was invaluable and definitely helped build my confidence with injectables.

I’m now doing the Level 7 course and still loving it. The support from the staff and mentors has been amazing — they’re always there to help and really want you to do well.

I’d highly recommend Interface Aesthetics to anyone thinking about training in facial aesthetics!

I have been attending training at Interface Aesthetics for the past year. Their Aesthetic Doctors are outstanding in their clinical expertise and strong interpersonal and teaching skills. They provided me with encouraging constructive feedback, as well as connecting theory to practice with real patient examples. They created a positive and encouraging learning environment for me, I will not go anywhere else for my continued aesthetics training!!!

I attended both the foundation and advanced course all in one weekend. I am a staff T&O nurse just starting out in this industry, so was unbelievably nervous. From the minute I walked into the door and throughout both days, I was met with nothing but kindness, encouragement and motivation from the interface team. From Marcello and the team BTS to Dr Ahmed to Dr Davina you were nothing but AMAZING. You’re so knowledgeable, informative, helpful and your eagerness to train safe, educated practitioners is second to none. I have left your training course feeling inspired. Thank you all for your patience, support and all the tips, tricks and knowledge you have passed on. I will definitely be returning for masterclasses! Thank you again, the 2 days were so well put together, what an amazing team.

I’m a doctor from Malta and have now travelled to London twice to train with Interface Aesthetics, first for the Advanced Fillers and Botox course, and then for Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty. Both times, the experience has been absolutely outstanding!

The teaching is extremely hands-on and practical, with trainers who are not only highly knowledgeable but also genuinely patient and encouraging. A special thank you to Mr. James and Dr. Yousrah, who were my instructors, they’re both incredible teachers who take the time to explain everything clearly and make sure you feel confident every step of the way. It was also lovely that they remembered me from my previous visit!

Another huge thank you to Veronika, who handles all the organisation so seamlessly, she really makes the whole process stress-free and enjoyable.

I always look forward to coming back here. The environment is professional yet friendly, and the quality of training is second to none. Highly recommend Interface Aesthetics to any medical professional wanting to take their aesthetics skills to the next level!

I had the most incredible experience with Interface Aesthetics. From start to finish, the day was flawlessly organised and genuinely inspiring

From the moment the day was organised by Marcelo, everything was seamless. He made sure every detail was taken care of and that the day was completely tailored to my needs. From the very beginning I felt completely at ease! It was relaxed and welcoming and even after 1 visit I was made to feel part of the interface family

I spent the full day under 1-to-1 supervision with Dr Ahmed, focusing on profile balancing, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better trainer. His knowledge, precision and ability to explain the finer points of facial aesthetics were incredible. It was an incredible opportunity to talk about all aspects of aesthetic medicine outside of just injectables too. The level of attention and guidance throughout the day was exceptional - it genuinely felt like elite-level mentorship.

The follow-up from Dr James afterwards was also outstanding. He took the time to message me, answer any further questions and make sure I was supported on the day by the team. It’s rare to see that kind of ongoing commitment and care.

And a special thank you to Veronika, who was brilliant at keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. She was always quick to respond, even out of hours, and made the whole experience effortless.

Interface Aesthetics delivers the highest standard of training I’ve ever experienced. The professionalism, expertise and genuine passion from the whole team are on another level. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough - an absolute 5-star experience from start to finish.

I genuinely can’t wait to be back

I recently attended the Interface Aesthetics course for dermal fillers and Botox, and it was absolutely fantastic. Finding a good course was challenging despite asking friends and colleagues, as there are so many options available, especially in London. I discovered Interface Aesthetics on Google, reached out via email, and was met with the lovely Veronika Gjakova, the Sales and Marketing Administrator. She answered all my questions and provided detailed information that convinced me to enroll. I'm so glad she did, as the hands-on experience exceeded my expectations.

The hands-on day was immersive, running from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and by the end, I felt exhausted but accomplished. Melissa, my trainer, was fantastic. She answered all my questions and provided invaluable support and guidance throughout the day. By the end of the course, I felt fully confident in my ability to perform the treatment techniques I had learned.

Marcelo, the General Manager, was also amazing. He introduced me to a variety of websites and support groups that will help me deepen my knowledge and learn new skills. James the owner, was incredible with his positive energy and effective teaching style. The online material was easy to navigate, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable.

I'm now looking forward to taking more courses with them on polynucleotides and skin biostimulators. I highly recommend Interface Aesthetics to any Dentist or GP, whether early in their career or even still in university, as they offer courses for graduates as well. This experience was truly a game-changer for me!

I recently attended the polynucleotide training session at Interface Aesthetics with Dr. Jordan Falkner and was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the teaching and the hands-on experience. The pre-course material and training session were informative whilst offering an excellent balance of theory and practical, hands-on experience.

The on-the-day training was well-organised, professional, and in a wonderful clinic. I left the session with enhanced knowledge and practical skills that I now feel fully equipped to start offering this treatment in my clinic.
