Professional Aesthetic Training and Medical-Grade Devices
Based at 6-8 Castle Street in Liverpool, Valessa provides VTCT-accredited aesthetic courses and medical-grade devices for clinics and practitioners across the UK.
Raising the standard of aesthetic education and clinic equipment in the UK.
Valessa Aesthetics Institute is a Liverpool-based training academy and devices supplier founded by Caroline Fogg, who has 27 years of experience in advanced aesthetic equipment and treatments and holds a degree in Aesthetic Medicine. Caroline has been teaching aesthetics for 10 years and is a qualified tutor and teacher assessor.
Every course and device at Valessa is chosen because it works clinically, is backed by proper accreditation, and is something the team uses and believes in. Students do not just earn a qualification: they leave with the clinical confidence, business knowledge, and equipment access to build a profitable practice from day one.
