Dermal filler training is becoming more popular with medical professionals as all healthcare professionals can partake in the aesthetics industry. Any medical professional (doctor, dentist, nurse) can safely and effectively perform dermal filler treatments with the right training. We are going to be taking you through the different options available to you all the way from Foundation to Expert in your aesthetics journey, so you have an idea of what path you want to take. As aesthetics is a medical procedure, you need to be getting the ultimate learning experience in this area to become a confident and safe injector.
When performing dermal filler treatments, you must know all the different types of dermal fillers before you begin using them. There are many types of dermal filler, and it is important to know which product to use depending on what area of the face you are working on. As an example, we use Juvederm® Dermal Fillers as their products are results-driven and long-lasting to provide the highest quality training and results for our patients.
Dermal fillers are safe to use when performed by trained professionals who have received a high standard of training on how to administer the injections properly. This includes understanding how to inject each product in order to achieve optimal results combined with minimal risk of complications or side effects.
Getting started in Aesthetics Training
Foundation courses are the first step in your journey into aesthetics. Typically, a one-day Botox and Dermal Filler Foundation Course covers an interactive lecture and practical hands-on training so you can put your knowledge into effect. This will provide an understanding of some of the key fundamentals of aesthetics. The content can range from skin anatomy and physiology to technical aspects such as preparing for treatments and injecting Botox and Dermal Fillers correctly.
The practical hands-on training of our one-day Foundation Training course covers areas such as:
- Upper face 3 area Botox
- Nose to mouth lines
- Marionette lines
- Corners of the mouth
Options after Completing Foundation
If you have attended a foundation course before, the next stage of your aesthetic development would be either a Bespoke, Intermediate or Advanced training course. All of these courses are great Dermal Filler Training Options. You will be able to consolidate your current knowledge and develop your techniques whilst addressing any questions regarding the new treatments you will be learning.
What will you learn on the Intermediate training course:

If you want to learn the full range, our intermediate, or advanced training courses ensure you are up to date with the latest techniques and will provide you with the key practical skills to immediately introduce new injectable treatments to your patients.
Although if you have a particular area you want to focus on such as lips then the Introduction to Lip Filler would be your best option and then you can go on to the Lip Masterclass Training Course so you can really specialise in this area. As with any medical competency, it is important to continually update your skills and gain CPD points, but it is also vital that you are able to offer your loyal patients a full range of treatments.
