Dermal Filler
Our dermal filler foundation course was the most popular until we launched the combined BIO stimulator course. Both courses provide a solid entry pathway into aesthetic medicine.
Foundation course for nurses

All ATAI courses strive to facilitate the highest level of education in their class, and the dermal filler course for nurses is no different. We are confident that our course represents the highest level of training available in the Irish market. Our training focus on allied health professionals represents our ethics and principles in good outcomes in cosmetic care. Safety for the general public must be of paramount importance, we are concerned with training providers that facilitate training for non-medical allied health candidates, and you should be too.
