Positive Prospects for those looking to Botox Training

Article by Sarah Brechon (Cosmetic Courses)

As the Financial Times announce a rapid increase in Botox sales in Europe,  Botox training courses at Cosmetic Courses have also risen throughout the year. These encouraging statistics (illustrated by the graph on the left) show that, despite the continuing economic crisis, all is not doom and gloom in the world of aesthetic medicine.

This is very positive news for medical professionals considering botox training as an option for their futures.

But surely the findings are also surprising: why would people be turning to aesthetic treatments at a time when many are having to make cuts on their weekly food shop and worrying about fuel or home expenses?  In a statement to the Financial Times, chief executive David Pyott of Botox manufacturer Allergan revealed that beauty is so deeply embedded into the culture of today’s Europeans that many would prefer to make sacrifices in other areas (even those many would consider everyday necessities) than give up their Botox habit.

Whatever the reasoning, this is undoubtedly good news for aesthetic medical professionals considering their employment options. At leading UK aesthetic training provider Cosmetic Courses, numbers of delegates booking onto the foundation level Botox training course have been on a steady increase all year. This introductory level Botox training course is the first step for medical professionals looking to begin their medical aesthetic career before going on to the Advanced Level training (Fillers and more complex Botox techniques), tailored 1-1 modules or courses in other aesthetic methods like Dermaroller Therapy or Skin Peels.

Asked why she thinks so many medical professionals have entered medical aesthetic training in 2011, despite the economic crisis, Cosmetic Courses manager Rachael Langford replied:

“They’re worried about the current problems in the NHS. One woman we spoke to yesterday  wants to start her family in 2 or 3 years but her current medical career wouldn’t allow for it. She felt that doing Botox training alongside would give her the option. Similarly, people coming up to retirement want to do Botox training to ease up their normal hours in the NHS. Working ridiculously long hours to rigid schedules can be far more draining than any economic crisis – Botox training can provide the chance of a better quality of life with more time to do what you want around your working hours.”

Registered medical professionals from all over the world can come and train with leading UK Botox training providers Cosmetic Courses. As well as Botox training, Cosmetic Courses provide a wide range of other courses (including Dermal Fillers, Genuine Dermaroller Therapy, Skin Peels, 1-1 Tailored Tuition and more).  You can book your training course online using our secure form and payment system or call 0845 230 4110.

The procedure hailed the “Botox Facelift” is actually a more modern technique using Botox treatment to improve the jaw line and give it a better definition.

Botox works by weakening muscles and it is possible to selectively weaken muscles which pull down the jawline producing an elevation and tightening of the jaw line.

Typically small injections are given just below the jaw line into the muscles which pull down the skin of the jaw. A real improvement in the jawline using this technique has been developed in the last few years, known as the Nefertiti Lift (after the Egyptian Queen with the famously slender and beautiful jawline).

This form of treatment is extremely effective in treating the jawline areas and a very popular treatment amongst patients. You can learn Advanced Botulinum Toxin techniques like these (and more!) on Cosmetic Courses’ Advanced Level training, or on a bespoke 1-1 course focusing on areas like this.
