OUR STORY
After experiencing the lack of poor training standards first-hand, Dr Tristan Mehta founded Harley Academy in 2016 to drive up standards and innovate education in aesthetic medicine
Through initially creating the first-ever medical aesthetics curriculum mapped to Health Education England guidelines, Harley Academy has grown to meet surging demands for postgraduate training in aesthetics. We host the UK's largest community of aesthetics professionals and have more graduates than any other training provider
Continuing our 360º commitment to excellence in aesthetics education, 2023 saw unparalleled growth. We now have two bespoke City of London campuses dedicated solely to the academia and practice of aesthetic medicine. Our Harley Academy Threadneedle Street flagship site is the largest medical aesthetics campus in the UK
