Aesthetic Nurse in Scotland

Scotland's private healthcare sector is concentrated in Edinburgh and Glasgow, with a growing number of independent practices serving both local and medical-tourism patients. The regulatory environment in Scotland differs slightly from England and Wales, with the Care Inspectorate overseeing independent healthcare providers. Aesthetic Nurse roles in Scotland are in sustained demand, particularly in Edinburgh where private clinic density is highest and patient volumes continue to grow.

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
