Training — Start Safely.
Start Properly.
Doctor-led foundation training for clinicians new to aesthetics, built on safety, clinical judgement and long-term career confidence.
Is This the Right Starting
Point for You?
This course is for you if…
- You’re new to medical aesthetics and want a safe, structured entry point
- You value clinical reasoning as much as practical skill
- You want to understand why treatments work, not just how to perform them
- You’re looking for training that prioritises patients, ethics and outcomes
- You want to build confidence gradually, with proper foundations in place
This may not be for you if…
- You’re already confidently injecting independently
- You’re looking for advanced techniques or complex case management
- You want fast-track certification without clinical depth
- You’re not open to feedback, mentorship or continued learning
- You’re seeking a purely cosmetic, non-clinical approach
Meet Your Trainer
Train With a Doctor Who Sets the Standard
I’m Dr Lauren — an Aesthetic Doctor, educator and clinic owner with over 15 years’ experience in medical aesthetics.
I created the ATA Foundation course because too many clinicians enter aesthetics without the support, structure or clinical grounding they deserve. The early stages matter. This is where habits are formed, confidence is built and patient safety is protected.
In this course, I’ll guide you through the fundamentals — not just techniques, but how to assess, plan and think like an aesthetic clinician.
My aim is simple:
To help you start your journey feeling supported, capable and proud of the standards you’re setting.
Let’s raise the bar. Together.
Dr Lauren
Our Students
“Dr Lauren is incredible - you can tell she genuinely cares about her students and wants us to succeed. It was honestly amazing. The training was really hands-on, very clear, and I felt supported every step of the way. Everything was explained in a way that made sense, and I never felt rushed or overwhelmed. It was a really positive environment and gave me so much confidence going forward.”

“Having someone like Dr Lauren with her level of experience and formal qualifications in training makes such a difference. You feel supported, informed and inspired throughout. This course has helped everything click into place for me. The combination of theory, practical experience and ongoing support has really deepened my understanding of facial anatomy and safe, evidence-based practice.”

This level allows you to build skills at the right pace, without being rushed into advanced treatments before you’re ready.

How to identify, manage and minimise complications
What it takes to take those first bold steps into building your own Aesthetic business

“Dr. Lauren was an outstanding trainer - the training is thorough, patient-focused, and delivered in such a supportive way.

“It was a great experience - Dr Lauren is highly skilled and she shares everything - no gatekeeping! A perfect blend of theory, live model demonstrations and hands-on practical work - it’s a fantastic clinic space for learning, with training to suit all stages of your career and a huge attraction for me was having the reassurance of continued support following your training.”
