Here at Cosmetic Courses, as well as our ever-popular Botox courses, we offer training in micro-needling, which has a large demand from our delegates and clientele.

Micro-needling is a way of improving the skin’s condition; it has the effect of helping the skin regenerate quickly by repairing itself rapidly. It also creates a smoother look to the skin and gives the effects of a brighter, younger glow.

The micro-needling uses microsurgical precision needles mounted around a sterile rolling device. The needles penetrate the skin and create microscopic channels or columns, which soon after heal. This cycle causes the skin to produce new collagen and elastin resulting in an enhanced look to the skin surface.

Micro-needling is mainly used to stimulate your skin which helps combat the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks and scarring caused by acne and chicken pox. Therefore micro-needling although primarily used on the face it can also be used on certain areas of the body.

The treatments itself usually takes between 10 and 30 minutes depending on the area being treated. We provide anaesthetic cream which is to be applied around 30 minutes prior to treatment to keep the pain minimal but you may still experience some discomfort. As it is a gradual enhancement not an instant effect, the results will start to develop around 4-8 weeks into the skin regeneration process.

Micro-needling has become very popular with the effects lasting over several months following a course of treatments, which is why we find it essential to offer our delegates training in micro-needling so they can offer this procedure effectively to their clients. Therefore micro-needling is a successful way to boost your skin and your career in the aesthetic industry.

Recently in the press, the issue of Botox and Filler training and who can be trained has come to light. Due to legislation only medically trained professionals are able to teach but also learn how to inject Botox and fillers.

At Cosmetic Courses we only offer our training to medical professionals – our delegates being a mixture of Doctors, Dentists and Nurses. Our delegates have to be medically qualified and registered with one of the following: General Medical Council, General Dental Council or Nursing and Midwifery Council. This ensures that our delegates are fully licensed to practise within the UK.

In one case an untrained man has been caught teaching Botox and Fillers to beauty therapists, who cannot legally participate in these courses as they lack the required medical qualifications. The man training the beauty therapists was sentenced to time in prison due to the severity of his actions.

This is unfortunate for those trained by him, as they naturally believed the certificate he provided was authentic and allowed them to practise. However, as any respected  non-surgical training provider will know, beauty therapists are not allowed to perform Botox and Dermal Filler treatments.

Therefore it is essential that at Cosmetic Courses we offer our training to the correct delegates. We are CPD certificated as well as having a working partnership with Hamilton Fraser, our insurance company, to ensure this.

Through training with Cosmetic Courses you get the security that our highly trained professional team are there for continued support, from helping you when you start your new career choice to the finer details that may occur throughout your career.

Furthermore, all our trainers are experienced and registered with the relevant medical governing bodies, so they are fully qualified to teach and perform Botox and Filler treatment in line with the regulations and legislations currently in place in the UK.
