We’re a few weeks into our Level 5 Laser Tattoo Removal course, and this group is
genuinely exceptional. The standard they’re already operating at is beyond impressive.
What’s stood out most is the way they’re handling the unpredictable realities of real clinic work. Ink that doesn’t respond at expected settings and tissue reactions that require quick reassessment and immediate adjustments. These are the moments that separate theory from real capability, and they’re stepping up every time.
There’s no hesitation, no panic – just calm, informed decision making and confident
application of their training in real time.
This is exactly what high level education should look like. And we couldn’t be prouder of the professionalism, focus and clinical maturity this group is demonstrating already.
LEVEL 2 & LEVEL 3
COURSES – SOLD OUT
Level 2 and Level 3 are fully booked and the students have been incredible!
Our Level 2 students have officially progressed onto Level 3, and watching this
group develop and grow has been brilliant.
It has been phenomenal watching how this group operate and their thirst fro knowledge. They’re not just turning up and going through the motions. They’re meticulous with their technique, they’re asking questions that show they’re actually thinking clinically, and they’re putting in the work to get it right.
Because of such high demand, we’ve now released new Level 2 and Level 3 dates: 16th March and 4th May. If you’ve been sitting on the fence about starting your qualification properly, now’s the time!

LIA ARE GOING
GLOBAL!
Things are moving on a global scale right now and it’s a big moment for us.
Trisha has just returned from examining in Sweden and is heading to France in two weeks. After that, it’s Barbados
and Trinidad. At the same time, Nira is travelling to Marbella to examine students there. Right now, we are operating
across multiple countries, and that’s not by chance.
High standards aren’t just taught here they’re examined on an international level. We’re the ones flying out,
stepping into clinics around the world, and assessing practitioners against the same clinical competency standards
whether that’s in the UK, across Europe or throughout the Caribbean.
It means the standards we teach aren’t just theoretical, they’re the same standards being upheld globally. It means
this school isn’t just participating in the industry, it’s actively shaping it.
Very few aesthetic training providers operate at this level. This is what it looks like when your educators are recognised internationally and entrusted with maintaining standards worldwide. It’s something we’re incredibly proud
of here at the London Institute of Aesthetics.

This month marks a significant milestone for the
London Institute of Aesthetics. On 15th January, we
celebrated our first anniversary with an event that
brought together students, graduates, and industry
professionals who share our commitment to
regulated, evidence-based training.
The celebration was more than just marking time it was a reflection on what we’ve built together: a community of practitioners who refuse to take shortcuts, who understand that professional credibility isn’t negotiable, and who recognise that proper qualification is career protection.
LEVEL 4 FULLY BOOKED
We’re pleased to announce that our Level 4 course has reached full
capacity. This consistent demand reflects a growing recognition across the industry: practitioners are actively seeking VTCT Of qual regulated pathways over unregulated CPD alternatives.

LOOKING AHEAD:
INDUSTRY REGULATION IS
COMING
The aesthetics industry is moving towards mandatory
regulation. It’s not a question of if, but when. Practitioners
with proper VTCT Ofqual qualifications will be positioned to
continue practising. Those relying solely on CPD
certificates may find themselves unable to meet new
regulatory requirements.
This isn’t fear mongering it’s professional reality. The
practitioners who invest in proper qualification now are
protecting their careers for the next decade and beyond.

If you’re ready to rise this is your next step.
WHY IT’S TIME TO REFRESH YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE AND TREATMENTS
As we say goodbye to winter, your skin is likely feeling the effects of colder temperatures, dry air, and central heating which can all
contribute to dullness, dehydration, and sensitivity. That’s why spring is the perfect time to reset your skincare regime and prepare for the brighter, warmer days ahead.
YOUR SKIN NEEDS A Seasonal Switch
Just like your wardrobe, your skincare routine needs to shift with the seasons. Winter calls for heavier, more occlusive moisturisers and
treatments that lock in hydration. But as spring approaches, it’s time to focus on reviving skin radiance, boosting cellular renewal, and
preparing your complexion for more sunlight exposure.
TREATMENTS THAT TRANSITION WITH YOU
At the London Institute of Aesthetics, we offer advanced treatments tailored to seasonal needs. One of the standout services for this
time of year is our Glass Facial a skin rejuvenation powerhouse that blends skin boosters and microinjections to enhance hydration, tone, and glow without downtime.
This trending non invasive facial treatment is ideal for:
- Combatting post winter dullness
- Deep hydration without clogging pores
- Smoothing fine lines
- Improving skin elasticity
- Boosting that natural spring glow
WHY NOW IS THE Best Time
Starting your skin transformation in spring sets you up for a radiant summer. Whether you’re targeting pigmentation, breakouts, or loss of glow early treatment gives your skin time to repair and regenerate naturally. It’s also an ideal season to start prepping for special events or simply invest in your self care.
TRENDING TREATMENTS TO EXPLORE:
- Skin Boosters for hydration
- Microneedling for collagen and texture
- Chemical Peels to clear away winter build up
- And of course, our Glass Facial to reset, restore and refresh.
READY TO SPRING INTO ACTION?
Let us help you choose the right professional treatments to elevate your skincare this season. Whether you’re a skincare enthusiast or new to aesthetics, the team at LIA is here to guide you every step of the way.
