If you’re considering a career in aesthetics, you’re not alone, and you’re in the right place. The world of cosmetic treatments is booming, and there’s never been a better time to train in this exciting field. At Renu Academy, we’ve helped hundreds of newcomers take their first steps into the industry. Whether you’re a beauty therapist looking to upskill, a complete beginner, or a medical professional exploring new opportunities, here’s what you need to know before you dive in.
What Is Aesthetic Training?
Aesthetic training teaches you how to deliver non-surgical cosmetic treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, microneedling, skin peels and more. These procedures are in high demand across the UK, and clients are increasingly seeking qualified, trustworthy practitioners to deliver them safely and effectively.
At Renu Academy, we focus on hands-on training supported by expert-led theory, offering everything from beginner Botox and filler courses to advanced techniques and dermatology workshops.
Do You Need a Medical Background?
This is one of the top questions we get asked. The short answer? No, not always. While some courses are specifically tailored to medical professionals (like nurses or doctors), others are open to individuals from a beauty background or those completely new to aesthetics.
If you’re unsure where you fit in, our team is always happy to help you choose the right starting point.
What Skills Will You Learn?
On our foundation courses, you’ll cover:
- Facial anatomy – essential for safe, effective treatment
- Injection techniques – starting with Botox and dermal fillers
- Client consultation – how to assess suitability and manage expectations
- Aftercare & safety – keeping clients informed and protected
You’ll also begin to build your confidence, which is just as important as your technical know-how.
What Should You Look for in a Training Academy?
Not all academies are created equal. Here’s what to keep an eye out for:
- Experienced trainers – Look for courses taught by active practitioners
- Small class sizes – You’ll get more hands-on time and personalised feedback
- Post-training support – Mentorship, business advice, or even room rental can make a big difference
- Accreditation & insurance guidance – So you can practise confidently and legally
Renu Academy ticks all these boxes and more, plus, we offer flexible e-learning options for those who want to learn at their own pace.
What Happens After the Course?
Completing your training is just the beginning. You can begin practising (subject to insurance), gain further qualifications, or even start your own business. We’re often asked if we offer support beyond the classroom, yes, we do! From advice on setting up your first clinic space to ongoing mentorship, we’re here for the long haul.
