About The London School of Facial Aesthetics
Taught by surgeons and dentists, for clinicians
The LSFA trains doctors, dentists, surgeons and independent prescribers in botulinum toxin and dermal filler treatments, with a curriculum built on head and neck anatomy, patient safety and real clinical experience.
Training built on anatomy, safety and confidence
The LSFA was created by clinicians with backgrounds in oral and maxillofacial surgery, who believe that great injectors are built on a deep understanding of facial anatomy.
Our courses follow a unique curriculum covering both the theory and practice of injectable facial aesthetics: anatomy, pharmacology, safety, technique and the management of complications. We teach through video lectures, workshops, simulation and, most importantly, supervised injecting on real patients.
More than 700 clinicians have trained with us, and ours is the only injectable aesthetics programme to be assessed and recommended by the British Association of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons (BAOMS).
Learn online, inject in clinic, keep our support
Each course is structured to take you from first principles to confidently performing treatments in your own practice.
