Dr Bob Khanna Training Institute

What Dr Bob Khanna Training Institute does

Dr Bob Khanna Training Institute (legally Dr Bob Courses Ltd) is a UK-based, privately-held facial aesthetics training institute founded in 1997 and headquartered in Reading, Berkshire, with an administrative office in North Ascot. It is the self-described longest-running non-surgical aesthetics training institute in the world and the first UK medical aesthetics training provider approved by the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH). The institute trains registered medical professionals — doctors, dentists, nurses, midwives, pharmacists, and dental hygienists/therapists — in injectables (Botulinum Toxin and dermal fillers), thread lifting, polynucleotides, exosomes, NAD+ IV infusion, complications management, and facial anatomy via cadaver dissection.

The curriculum is delivered through three progressive modules plus specialised courses, all taught personally by Professor Bob Khanna (Visiting Professor at the Universities of Seville and Vienna). The teaching methodology combines theory, live demonstrations, hands-on practice on live models, and real-time ultrasound verification of vascular anatomy and filler placement. Proprietary IP includes the registered HeartLips lip-sculpting technique (licensed to delegates), Profiloplasty facial-harmony concepts, and KL Concepts. Cadaver courses are run in partnership with Brighton & Sussex Medical School; theory-based online courses (e.g., NAD+ IV) are sold via WooCommerce on the drbobkhanna.com site.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer, sales-led model. Course tuition is the primary revenue stream at £199–£6,000+VAT per course, with CPD-certified completion enabling delegates to obtain insurance (via the Hamilton Fraser partnership) and purchase products. Recurring revenue comes from IAAFA membership subscriptions (post-course community, 24/7 support forum, revision videos, annual conference) and HeartLips annual trademark licensing (£99+VAT). Distribution is direct: website enquiry forms, phone, email, and WhatsApp, with online courses available for immediate self-serve purchase. The institute holds SaveFace accreditation, RSPH approval, and offers the QCCP qualification pathway, restricting admission to registered medical professionals only.
