Harley Academy Launches Groundbreaking Global Evidence Matrix (GEM)
Harley Academy, the UK’s leading postgraduate training provider of higher education, announces the launch of their Global Evidence Matrix (GEM) - the first standardised, evidence-based guide to carrying out injectable treatments for aesthetic medicine professionals. Speaking at IMCAS Paris, Dr Tristan Mehta will highlight GEM’s role in driving product innovation, enhancing safety protocols, and delivering transformative training to shape the future of aesthetic practice at the Prollenium Medical Technologies symposium. From February 2025, Harley Academy will oversee the full rollout of the GEM and is thrilled for practitioners to leverage this innovative tool to enhance their practice, foster learning, and strengthen safety measures.
Dr Tristan Mehta, Founder of Harley Academy comments "The Global Evidence Matrix represents a pivotal moment for our industry. GEM is more than just a framework; it’s a commitment to patient safety, clinical excellence, and the consistent delivery of natural, balanced results. By creating a universal standard, we’re not only empowering practitioners to elevate their skills but also ensuring patients around the world receive the highest quality of care. This is the future of medical aesthetics, and we are incredibly excited to lead the way with Harley Academy."
The GEM framework is crafted to provide consistent, science-backed guidelines for evaluating, standardising, and applying evidence across the aesthetics industry, internationally. Based on research carried out by Harley Academy’s Academic Director, the globally renowned anatomist and researcher Professor Sebastian Cotofana, the GEM aims to provide a robust, universal standard for safe injecting.
“Based on our recent research findings, this innovative curriculum integrates injector competencies, anatomic knowledge, and scientific evidence,” says Professor Cotofana. “I am confident this system will empower injectors globally to enhance their practice, ensuring safety and excellence in patient care.”
GEM aims to enhance patient safety, improve treatment outcomes, and support aesthetic practitioners in delivering balanced, natural-looking results across diverse regions. By collaborating with industry leaders, Harley Academy will showcase how products can be used effectively within GEM principles, setting a new benchmark for quality in the industry.
Through GEM, Harley Academy aims to equip trainees and practitioners not only with advanced anatomical and practical skills but also with the knowledge and confidence to choose the best products that deliver outstanding, safe results for their patients.
Harley Academy has collaborated with industry leaders to introduce GEM internationally; the latest partners include Prollenium Medical Technologies and Sinclair, who join Allergan, Croma and HA Derma as key partners of Harley Academy.
“The partnership between Prollenium and Harley Academy represents an exciting opportunity to collaborate in advancing our shared commitment to delivering safe and effective facial aesthetic outcomes. Through a robust educational framework grounded in evidence-based anatomical knowledge and refined practical techniques, this collaboration aims to set new standards in aesthetic education and patient care.” comments Ario Khoshbin, Founder of Prollenium
