"Having done my research previously, I felt Derma Institute was the best aesthetic training company suited to help develop my skills as an Aesthetic Doctor. The level of expertise and professionalism I experienced exceeded my expectations. There was lots of hands-on experience I will be returning for the advanced sessions soon! - thank you Derma Institute team."
"Great course that gives you confidence to practice independently. Also allows you to have support after the course with the same Doctors to be able to follow your progress. You are made to feel part of a team and not a client from the very beginning."
"I really enjoyed the foundation Botox and filler training course by Derma institute. The team members were very professional and informative. Dr Ziad's teaching technique is excellent, leaving delegates very confident to start treating the following day. We were trained in small groups, and there was plenty of hands-on experience which allowed us to practice different techniques on live models."
