Introductory Course
Learn the basic eight aesthetic procedures in our Introductory Course. This is ideal for those new to aesthetic and cosmetic medicine.
Get started and learn the basic skills needed to set up a cosmetic and anti-ageing practice.
This course is designed for people who have no previous experience or training in giving Botulinum toxins and dermal fillers.
After the course, you should be confident in practicing aesthetic medicine due to the excellent supervision and the large number of injections you will perform during the course. In this course, you will learn eight basic aesthetic procedures.
There will be a manual given in advance which has all the necessary material needed and on the day of the course, there will be a theory power point presentation followed by a practical session on live models. The manual is written by experts in each field and we employed a professional editor and proofreader to review the manual to make the language simple and easy.
The manual has various sections such as skin anatomy and physiology, the mechanism of ageing, face assessment, consultation techniques including training on how to give post treatment advise. It will also cover the legal aspects of aesthetics in the UK and an extensive detailed chapter on starting a business in aesthetics, how to find a clients and expand.
It will include sections for Botulinum toxin details, such as history, mechanism of action, preparation and storage, injection techniques of five Botox treatments (Frown, forehead, crows feet, brow lift and bunny nose), and complications associated with Botulinum toxins.
Two of the Botox procedures in this course (Brow lift and bunny nose) are taught on the Advanced Course normally but we believe with proper training you can do them competently.
The Filler section will include the same; history, type of fillers, mechanism of action, storage, injection techniques of, complications and post treatment advice. The filler procedures taught in this course are three in total which are: lips, marionette lines and nasolabial folds.
The powerpoint presentation will include a summary of the above with extensive photos and videos of the above with slides on the face assessment and all the injections techniques of the techniques included.
The last part of the powerpoint presentation will include business advice, how to start up a business, how to find clients, how to expand and promote yourself and what to do next. We will also have invited guest speakers who will explain how they started in the industry and became very successful injectors.
After the lunch break, there will be a practical session on live models, starting with Botox injections, then a coffee break, followed by the Fillers practical session and at the end certificates will be provided.

Frowns
What is a frown?
Frown lines are the wrinkles that appear between the eyebrows.
Why treat forehead lines?
The frown lines give us a serious and angry appearance. We might have noticed this in our photos. People may tell us we look angry and serious, while what we are actually doing is concentrating. These days due to many available technologies such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and books, we tend to frown to adjust our eyes and this later develops into a habit.

Forehead lines
What are forehead lines?
Forehead lines are the horizontal lines in the forehead that occur due to the contraction of the frontalis muscle.
Forehead lines give us an ageing appearance. While we read books and laptops and when someone talks to us, we tend to lift our eyes and forehead upwards to see the person talking to us, so the frontalis muscle becomes stronger and wrinkles show up making us look much older than our actual age.

Crow’s feet
What are crow’s feet?
Crow’s feet or smiley lines are wrinkles that appear on the side of the eyes when we laugh or smile. When they are extensive they give us an ageing appearance. Making them subtle with Botox gives us a better smile and a more youthful look.

Brow lift
What is a brow lift?
It is lifting or arching the far end of the eyebrow, which is considered the ultimate grooming of the eyebrows.
Why have a brow lift?
Two main reasons:
i) Shaping the eyebrows. A very popular procedure. It gives a nice contour and shaping of the eyebrow which enhances the beauty of our expressive eye, giving it a sharper and more attractive appearance.
ii) Helps with lifting the saggy skin for the upper eyelid which gives us a tired appearance. With time the eyebrows become flatter, saggy and fall downwards causing excess skin on our eyelids; this will lead to a tired, aged, sad appearance.

Bunny lines
What are bunny lines?
Angry, stressful ageing wrinkles extending from the nose to the lower part of the eye. Contraction of the nasalis muscle on the sides of the upper nose gives us unpopular wrinkles.

Lips
This is the most popular filler procedure in the UK. There are different styles and objectives.
Lip fillers are googled every 20 minutes in the UK.
Why are lip fillers popular?
They can enhance our beauty and self-esteem.
We might not have the volume or shape we want for our lips or the lip line and Cupid’s bow are not as well defined as we’d like. Lip fillers can help achieve these goals.
We might notice the following in our lips when we look at the mirror:
- Not enough lip volume, not as full or plump as we desire
- Thin lips due to low volume
- An unclear border on the outside of the lips (vermillion border) which we try to correct with the lip liner
- Poorly developed vermillion border and philtrum which makes the ridge between the upper lip and nose
- Smokers lines
What can I have done for my lips?
i) Volumisation:
This is where we inject the soft filler into your lip increasing the volume and make a soft pout in the centre if desired.
ii) Definition (shaping):
This is when we inject at the outer border of the lip line (vermillion border) giving the lip good definition, making it sharper and more distinguished which is much better than the effect of a makeup liner. We can also do the Cupid’s bow and philtrum which will make the lip very defined, stand out and enhance the effect of lipstick.
iii) Volumisation and shaping:
By doing both volume enhancement and shaping.
iv) Smokers lines treatment:
This can be combined with Botox.

Nasolabial folds
What are the nasolabial folds?
They are the deep folds that run from the side of the nose at an angle to the mouth.
They develop as a natural process of ageing as we lose fat and volume from our cheeks and due to the effect of gravity deep folds appear in the area. This gives us an ageing appearance.

Marionette lines
What are the marionette lines?
They are the deep lines that run from the angle of the mouth to the chin giving us a sad grumpy appearance.
These lines develop as part of the ageing process, smoking and tend to help develop and worsen the jowls too.
