Derma Medical

What Derma Medical does

Derma Medical Ltd is a privately held UK-based aesthetic training company that sells fee-for-service injectable training courses to qualified medical professionals. The company serves doctors, dentists, nurses, midwives, prescribing pharmacists, dental therapists, paramedics, physiotherapists, physician associates, and ODPs seeking to enter or expand within medical aesthetics. Course offerings span beginner (Foundation Botox & Dermal Filler), advanced injectables, masterclasses (Lip Filler, Facial Contouring, Non-surgical Rhinoplasty, Ultrasound Aesthetics), skin courses (PRP/PRF, Sculptra, Chemical Peel, Microneedling & Exosomes, Skin Rejuvenation), and a 10-day Fellowship program, with bundles and packages offering savings of up to 30%. The flagship OTHM Level 7 Diploma in Clinical Aesthetic Injectable Therapies is an OFQUAL-regulated postgraduate qualification.

Derma Medical's underlying infrastructure comprises owned training academies in five UK cities (London, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Edinburgh) plus international centres in Australia and the USA, the DermaHub e-learning platform with tiered Silver/Gold subscription memberships, and a small consumables business selling an Aesthetic Starter Kit. Pricing is per-course and ranges from £239 (kit) to over £9,000 (Complete Level 7 Diploma), with Fellowship pricing on demand. Payment is collected via integrated gateways including Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, Afterpay, and Apple Pay, plus phone booking and bank transfer. Curriculum is anchored on exclusive brand partnerships with Teoxane (dermal fillers), Vscan Air (ultrasound), Image Skincare (chemical peels), and Dermapen (microneedling), and on formal accreditations from OTHM, IQ, CPD UK, and ACCME.

The business model combines one-time course fees, recurring DermaHub subscription revenue, and ancillary hardware sales. Revenue capture is direct-to-consumer through the company's own website and physical academies with no public B2B or enterprise anchor contracts disclosed. Marketing is content-led (website SEO, webinars, podcasts, newsletters, post-course support) with a sales-assisted close facilitated by an interactive 'Find my Pathway' course recommendation tool. No parent company, external investors, or funding rounds are disclosed; Dr Amrit Thiara is identified as CEO, and the company appears founder-controlled.
