Practice on Live Models

Develop your skills in Botox, dermal fillers, and facial anatomy with structured theory and hands-on experience. You’ll treat live cosmetic models under the close supervision of expert medical trainers, ensuring safe and accurate technique. Our landmark-based training approach provides clear, step-by-step guidance, giving you the confidence to perform treatments with precision and accuracy.

Small Group Training

All practical work on live models takes place in small groups, giving you maximum hands-on injecting time. Sessions are run like real clinics, so you’ll treat multiple patients and practise a wide range of techniques in one day. This approach ensures you gain varied experience and build confidence quickly.

Expert Aesthetic Trainers

Our trainers are highly experienced medical professionals who combine years of clinical practice with a passion for teaching. Many run their own successful clinics and are recognised as key opinion leaders for leading aesthetics brands.
