Training Courses

Our main course injecting botulinum toxins (“Botox”) and dermal fillers, these are the best way to get into this exciting field.

Our Manchester foundation training course in Anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers is the ideal two-day introduction to aesthetics and includes:

On this course you will learn how to create symmetrically stunning eyebrows, using techniques that ensure correct brow shape, weight and position. You will learn hair stroke tempering and the secrets of creating lifelike, natural looking brows with feather touch needles on both artificial skin & live models. The course also includes the effective application of analgesics, working on synthetic skin as well as live models.

This treatment requires taking a small sample from the client’s forearm area (you must be trained in Phlebotomy to take live bloods). The treatment involves harvesting platelets from the patient’s blood and injecting them into problem skin areas. The procedure starts with the extraction of a minimal amount of blood which is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma. It is then injected into the chosen and placed in a centrifuge, which spins it very rapidly to separate the plasma from the red blood cells. The plasma is then applied topically to the skin of the neck and face or the scalp and then a dermal roller is used to create tiny punctures, which allows the plasma to be absorbed.

PDO Threads can be an excellent option to combat facial ageing. They were first popularised in the late 1990’s and since then their success and favour has increased as thread technology & technique has been significantly refined and improved. PDO Threads can be used to lift the cheek, jawline, neck & brow areas. Barbed or Cog threads are inserted into these areas and massaged into position against the skin to provide lift and collagenesis (production of new collagen and connective tissue volumizing/tightening skin.) PDO threads can be effective for up to 18 months and are ideally suited to patients ages 35-50 – dependent on the patient’s age and lifestyle. Threads can also be combined with other Botulinum toxin and dermal filler treatments for optimal results.

The latest course in our portfolio is perfect for aesthetic practitioners who have already completed some or all of our botulinum toxin and dermal filler training courses and are now looking to learn further cutting edge techniques to rejuvenate the ageing face.

On the course we line up lots of live cosmetic models so that delegates are able to watch a live demonstration from our expert trainer and then to perform the Cog thread procedures themselves. Before the practical work we cover an in-depth presentation covering advanced facial anatomy, patient selection, consultation, anasthaesia, insertion of cog threads and complications management. Delegates receive a pre-course reading manual when they book and we run an interactive session in the morning to ensure understanding before we start the practical part of their training.
