Train, Toil, & Triumph!

All future as well as practicing pharmacists out there can hatch new opportunities for themselves by becoming a part of the Aesthetic Medicine field.?

With quality training under industry experts, it is time to make your journey more meaningful by helping your potential patient look and feel great!

What Is Medical Aesthetics?

In simple words, the field of Aesthetic Medicine deals with procedures, treatments, and services that are aimed at improving and boosting a patient's cosmetic appearance.

The term umbrellas rejuvenation treatments that are non-invasive to minimally invasive such as:

• Chemical peels
• Microneedling
• Laser rejuvenation
• Microdermabrasion
• Anti-wrinkle treatments
• Platelet-Rich-Plasma Therapy
• Laser hair reduction
• Body contouring
• Medical-grade skincare

The administration of such cosmetic services needs aesthetic doctors to be highly qualified, skilled, and trained with a great deal of knowledge in human physiology and anatomy.

According to the Aesthetic Medicine Global Market Report 2022 of 'The Globe Newswire', the global market for aesthetic medicine is projected to grow from $51.60 billion in 2021 to $56.73 billion in 2022. With this rate of growth, the industry is set to spike to $82.87 billion in 2026!

But that is not the only reason why Dr. Afifa Amer and Dr. Maleeha at Glow and Go Pakistan chose to challenge themselves and decided to become Aesthetic Practitioners.

Success Story Speaking Volumes

Dr. Afifa Amer - Senior skin aesthetician & Skincare expert at Glow & GO Pakistan

She is one of those many proud pharmacists who showed courage in the face of many odds and dared to rise above her mundane professional routine. The sky was not her limit!

From An Aesthetic Trainee To An Aesthetic Doctor

After completing her Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D) from Akhtar Saeed Medical College in 2016, Dr. Afifa chose to follow her passion for Aesthetic Medicine. She has prior experience working in retail pharmacy as well as in hospital settings which led her to explore new avenues.

Dr. Afifa joined Harley Street Institute Pakistan under the direct mentorship of Dr. Ahmed Haq for her hands-on aesthetic training. Dr. Ahmed Haq is a renowned plastic surgeon and program director of International Aesthetic Medicine Courses in the UK as well as in Pakistan.

Living A Fulfilling Career At Glow & Go Pakistan

Today, Afifa Amer is living her dream at Glow & Go. She is practicing as a Senior Skin Aesthetician, delivering quality clinical skin rejuvenation and ensuring that each patient visiting the clinic gets the best of the best!

Dr. Afifa continues to attract budding pharmacists who wish to kick start their careers as successful aesthetic practitioners. She says that she owes a lot to Harley Street Institute for her current achievements and that the institute provides an excellent platform for ambitious professionals excited to join the club.

Why Choose Aesthetic Medicine As A Pharmacist?

The Beauty Industry Is Booming

The human urge to feel and look better has only gotten stronger with time. Thanks to the safe nature of the treatments and delivery of visible results, non-invasive rejuvenation is seeing an upward trend only.

For budding pharmacists and prescribing professionals, aesthetic training in popular skin-enhancing services is a great opportunity to put your knowledge and skills to your patient’s advantage.

Growing Demand For Aesthetic Experts

Of course, with such an unprecedented rise in the demand for non-invasive rejuvenation treatments, also comes a great need for skilled and trained practitioners.?

In countries like Pakistan, there are only a handful of aesthetic doctors with an ‘Aesthetic Eye’.

However, with international aesthetic training providers like Harley Street Institute Pakistan, many dermatologists, pharmacists, and dentists are now breaking the monopoly and realizing their potential.

Financially Rewarding?

This is one of the most crucial aspects that has encouraged many medical professionals to change their careers, especially pharmacists and dentists in Pakistan. In addition to mainstream medical practice, working as an aesthetic doctor can also bring along economic benefits for you.?

In such times of socioeconomic distress and massive challenges, your one timely decision may be a huge favor to your future. Do not limit your earning potential by your own ambitions!

Witness Personal & Professional Growth

While training in medical aesthetics gets you all geared up for your new journey, it also ensures your personal and professional development.?

Harley Street Institute Pakistan is the leading academy of aesthetic courses and training that are CPD-certified.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) ensures that in this fast-paced field of medical aesthetics, you are always on top of the new medical breakthroughs, techniques, and knowledge.

Expand Your Clientele Pool

As a pharmacist, you not only have a small sphere of the audience but also have limited interaction with your patients. Dr. Afifa Amer, herself admits that she has sought great help from her pharmacy background while working at Glow and Go.

Skills such as one on one chatting with patients during consultations, and effectively utilizing my clinical knowledge of human body chemistry and drug interactions enable me to reach out to a wider audience… every day!

Never Experience A Dull Moment Again

The medical profession itself is never dull and monotonous. However, there are days when it may get colorless, and not so much to look forward to.

Choosing medical aesthetics after a career in pharmacy lets you experience a new exciting day. Dr. Maleeha Mughal, another skin aesthetician at Glow and Go also completed her aesthetic training course at Harley Street Institute Pakistan and cannot recall a single day that was not a stimulating one.

There is always a new learning curve for you with a chance to meet new patients and help them look and feel more confident about themselves. It only gets better every day!

“Do not stand in the crowd, lead them!”
