Build on your existing medical knowledge while developing a new area of clinical practice centred on facial assessment, treatment planning and patient care.
Apply your existing knowledge of anatomy, diagnosis and patient assessment to facial aesthetic medicine.
Develop an additional area of practice and provide aesthetic care within an appropriately structured clinical setting.

Develop a complementary clinical pathway that can grow alongside your existing medical career.
Aesthetic medicine combines medical knowledge with detailed facial assessment, procedural skill and considered treatment planning.
Aesthetic medicine builds naturally on skills you already use as a doctor — anatomy, patient assessment, diagnosis and clinical decision-making.
It is also an area of medicine that is not typically covered in undergraduate training and continues to evolve rapidly. Our courses are designed to help doctors develop the additional knowledge, practical skills and clinical judgement required to begin treating aesthetic patients with a structured approach.
Whether aesthetic medicine becomes a complementary part of your existing practice or a larger clinical focus, DDA can support your education as your skills and experience develop.
Aesthetic medicine requires more than procedural technique. We focus on the clinical thinking behind treatment — anatomy, assessment, patient selection and sound decision-making.
Understand facial structure, tissue planes and anatomical relationships before selecting a treatment approach.
Develop consultation, patient-selection and treatment-planning skills rather than treating isolated concerns.
Translate theory into supervised hands-on experience with real patients and direct clinical feedback.
Continue refining your knowledge through further education, clinical resources and practitioner support.
