MATA are pleased to announce that we are offering Botox Courses in Edinburgh up to Level 7. Scotland’s demand for injectable treatments has been rising significantly year on year. With Edinburgh being the capital of Scotland, there really is no surprise that there is a vital demand for skilled and qualified injectable practitioners in the area. With such a high demand for both the treatment and practitioners, it is no short of certain that adding injectable therapies to your qualifications and skill set will be a lucrative development for you.
To be able to legally and safely administer BOTOX® in the UK, there are certain regulations in place. Medical & Aesthetic Training Academy (MATA) understand these regulations, and will ensure that every delegate goes above and beyond the necessary requirements to be able to practice BOTOX® legitimately with a trusted reputation.
Edinburgh BOTOX® Courses
When embarking on your journey into studying aesthetics, you want to ensure the academy you select will provide you with the best possible opportunity for success.
MATA has always been an advocate pushing for better industry legislation and we have won numerous awards for the work which we have conducted in order to make the world of aesthetics a safer place. Our courses and qualifications support this advocacy, ensuring that every delegate graduating from one of our courses is able to administer treatments at a safe and effective level. Our award winning academy holds a reputation for improving standards in the industry and we are extremely proud of the work we achieve.
We offer two levels of training. We understand there are delegates with varying degrees of ability and we aim to ensure that all can be accounted for. Both the Foundation Level BOTOX® Course, and the Advanced Level BOTOX® Course equal units towards an internationally recognised Master’s degree (UK Level 7). Pre-requisites for either course is a Bachelor’s degree (UK Level 6) but the Foundation Level BOTOX® Course must be completed (either with MATA or an equivalent course) before progressing onto the Advanced Level BOTOX® Course.
The Foundation and Advanced levels count towards our UK Level 7 Botox Qualification.
Upon completing a course with MATA, you will be awarded a certificate which is your proof of attendance and passing the assessment and will enable you to successfully apply for indemnity insurance for your business in Edinburgh.

Edinburgh Points of Interest
Edinburgh is Scotland’s capital city, home to Scotland’s Crown Jewels, Edinburgh Castle, Arthur’s Seat and the National Museum of Scotland. There are few cities that can rival Edinburgh’s rich collective of culture, geological formations, natural wonders and historical monuments.
The medieval old town is the city’s oldest neighbourhood with small winding streets lined with historic architecture and monuments, wool shops and quirky drinking holes. The newer parts of the city, also known as Edinburgh’s ‘New Town’ date back to the Georgian era. Properties which were once servant housing or stables are now some of the most desired properties in the city. Thanks to strict building codes the original architectural and design integrity has been preserved making this residential area, rich with communal gardens and parks, a sight to behold.
Despite all of its iconic historical sites, Edinburgh is a bustling cosmopolitan city. Whether it’s a family day out, a night out with delicious food and drink or a sightseeing tour that most appeals to you, you will not be left short of things to do in this wonderful place.
