a clinic and a training centre in amsterdam
UMA Clinic and UMA Academy are inseparable. UMA Clinic focuses on client care. UMA Academy is the international knowledge centre where doctors are trained in safe, refined and evidence-based treatment techniques. So the doctor who treats you may well be the same doctor who trained a group of international colleagues earlier that week.

why cosmetic doctors choose uma academy
Performing a treatment is one thing. Teaching others how to perform it at the highest level is something else. The doctors of UMA combine client care with teaching, research and innovation every day. New techniques aren’t just applied, but also critically evaluated, refined and then shared with colleagues in the Netherlands and abroad.
That combination makes UMA Academy one of the leading training centres in cosmetic medicine.
there’s a good chance your doctor trained here
That may sound surprising, but the chance is bigger than you think. Every year, cosmetic doctors from the Netherlands and many other countries attend training sessions, masterclasses and live demonstrations at UMA Academy. What they learn there, they take back to their own clinic. So even if you’re not a client of UMA Clinic, it’s quite possible that your practitioner once trained with one of our doctors.
from treatment room to classroom and back again
One of the biggest advantages of UMA Academy: the trainers treat clients themselves every day. So the techniques they share don’t just come from books or scientific publications, but from practice.
Every treatment brings new insights, which go straight into the teaching together with the latest scientific developments.
It works the other way round too. By teaching, looking critically at techniques and answering colleagues’ questions, the doctors of UMA keep challenging themselves and growing. That’s how knowledge within UMA keeps moving.
Anyone who teaches has to master their profession in detail.
what this means for clients of uma clinic
Why does it matter that your doctor also trains other cosmetic doctors? The answer is simple.
Anyone who teaches has to master their profession in detail: not only the technique, but also the anatomy, safety, complication management and the scientific basis of every treatment.
At UMA Clinic, you benefit from that expertise.
You’re treated by doctors who don’t just follow the latest developments closely, but actively pass that knowledge on. You’ll see it in a careful approach, well-considered treatment plans and results that suit your face rather than a trend.
Results that suit your face, not a trend.
