Course Summary

Begin or return from a place of clarity, competence and professionalism

This course builds a comprehensive foundation in both botulinum toxin and dermal filler within a single structured programme. From pharmacology and product science through to injection technique and complication management, you will gain the knowledge and hands-on experience to treat patients safely and effectively, whether under supervision or independently.

The theory is delivered through self-paced e-learning completed before your in-person day, so when you arrive, the entire day belongs to patients. Every injection guided, every question answered, every moment spent doing, not observing.

Five hours of self-paced e-learning must be completed before your in-person day. Access is provided immediately on booking so you can start straight away.


WHAT YOU WILL COVER:

BOTOX UPPER FACE

  • Forehead lines: softening horizontal movement whilst preserving natural expression and brow position

  • Glabellar frown lines: working confidently with one of the most active muscle groups in the face

  • Crow's feet: precision work in the delicate periorbital region

DERMAL FILLERS MID & LOWER FACE:

  • Lip rejuvenation: creating soft, hydrated, naturally enhanced lips with artistry and anatomical care

  • Perioral rejuvenation: softening marionette lines and improving structure around the mouth

  • Cheek augmentation: contouring and lifting the mid-face using proportions, vectors, and structural support

  • Nasolabial folds: treating deeper facial lines safely whilst maintaining a natural result
