These are based on patients you have treated during the course. You will also write three assignments the details can be found within the course structure of this page.
CONFIDENCE & COMPETANCE

We strive to produce the best practitioners in the industry.

Continual Assessment and Exams

We provide continual assessment and practitioners do not progress until individual educators are happy with the skills of the delegate. At times, practitioners will not be able to pass the course for a variety of reasons including but not limited to aptitude, eye sight, practical skills, failing exams. 

While we offer extended practical days for delegates that require more training we cannot guarantee all delegates will pass the course.

Who is able to attend this course?

The course is open to doctors, dentists and nurses with an active registration.

Is there a practical component to this course?

Yes, the course is structured with the delivery of theory of approximately 190 hours through our virtual learning environment. In addition, the practical day sees you observing injectable treatment plus hands-on administering of treatments. All our courses have a strong focus on practical skills.

I am a beauty therapist can I attend this course?

No, due to the unregulated nature of beauty therapists and insurance protocols plus the legislation around prescription medicine beauty therapists are unable to study this course. Can I just enrol in the theory aspect of the course then? Sorry, no that is also not possible. We see that as encouraging rogue practices in the industry.

Do I need to provide my own model for the course?

No, we provide all models for the practical component of the course. If you do wish to bring along a model, please let us know at the time of enrolment.

Do I need my own insurance?

No, our insurance covers you on the practical treatment days. Once you have qualified you will, of course, need to organise your insurance to practice.

Injectables should often be the last procedure not the first.

While injectable cosmetics provide outstanding and often as is the case with dermal filler immediate results, the overall visual enhancement is only as good as the canvas. If the client’s skin is in poor health, UV damage, a lacklustre appearance, suffering from skin conditions then often the patient’s satisfaction is also lacking. Injectable cosmetics should be the final touch to the client’s appearance, not the first step. This inside-out approach, addressing skin health first to lift the patient’s skin to optimal skin health can be viewed as best practices in aesthetic care.

Apart from the increased client satisfaction it also provides the practitioner with a more diverse skillset and a much more employable set of skills. Clients today are looking for practitioners that can address all their skin concerns not just provide injectables. For nurses looking for employment in specialist skin clinics, employers are looking for skin specialists that can offer more than injectables. Skin care specialists are highly sought after in the industry and as nurses and doctors, you can provide a unique remit of skills that set you apart from general therapists.

Aesthetic skin complete.

Be more than an injector. Skin complete sets you up as an advanced skin practitioner. Providing the modalities that are in demand and have their place in modern aesthetic treatment.
TCA peels, also known as trichloroacetic acid peels, are a popular and effective cosmetic procedure used to improve the appearance of the skin. TCA is a chemical solution that is applied to the skin, causing controlled exfoliation and subsequent regeneration of the skin cells. TCA peels are often used to address a variety of skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, age spots, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used to rejuvenate the skin and improve its texture and appearance. The microneedling process stimulates the skin's natural healing response, triggering the production of collagen and elastin.

Dermal fillers are typically composed of a gel-like substance that is injected into specific areas of the face. The most commonly used filler substances include hyaluronic acid (HA), calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). These substances vary in their composition, longevity, and specific indications.
