Across the UK, the demand for facial aesthetics has surged dramatically in recent years (Furness, 2022). This presents a burgeoning opportunity for National Health Service (NHS) professionals, such as nurses, doctors, and dentists, to diversify their career paths and tap into this ever-expanding sector.
Indeed, who could be better suited to meet this demand than our highly trained and dedicated NHS professionals? It’s a natural transition, bringing in valuable medical expertise to a field that greatly benefits from it. With the right training and support, this could be a transformative career move.

Having co-created the Level 7 Certificate in Facial Aesthetics and offering training in various UK cities, MATA strives to improve safety in facial aesthetics through high-quality training, available exclusively to medical professionals.
Let’s explore the rise in facial aesthetics, the opportunities this presents for NHS professionals, and how MATA can be instrumental in this transition.
The Rise in Facial Aesthetics
In a society where Instagram filters and high-definition video calls are becoming the norm, the demand for aesthetic treatments is at an all-time high (Savage, 2021). The UK market has seen a particularly significant increase, with non-surgical treatments like Botox and dermal fillers becoming increasingly popular. This growth is expected to continue, with the facial aesthetics market predicted to reach £3.6 billion by 2025 (MarketsandMarkets, 2020).
The reasons behind this are multifaceted. Advances in technology, social media influence, a growing ageing population, and the quest for ‘perfection’ are key contributors to this trend (Savage, 2021).
Opportunities for NHS Professionals
For NHS professionals, the aesthetics industry provides an opportunity to leverage their existing skills in a new, lucrative way. Diversifying into aesthetics can add an additional revenue stream, while still maintaining a role within the NHS. The flexible working hours associated with aesthetics are also appealing, allowing for a more manageable work-life balance.
A career in aesthetics is not merely about increasing income. It’s about using your skills to help people feel better about themselves and increase their confidence. As a medical professional, you already possess the interpersonal skills and medical knowledge that can make a real difference in this field.
