About this role

Aesthetic nurses in the UK are NMC-registered nurses who specialise in non-surgical cosmetic treatments including botulinum toxin, dermal fillers, and skin rejuvenation procedures. Since 2022, Schedule 4 Poisons legislation restricts botulinum toxin administration to prescribers or their authorised delegates, meaning aesthetic nurses now operate under a prescribing practitioner's oversight unless they are independent prescribers themselves.

Regulator Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC)
Typical salary £35,000 – £70,000
