“Factual knowledge precedes skill”

We can not teach “how” to think without first teaching “what” to think. It’s vitally important to have a strong knowledge base about facial ageing, advanced facial anatomy and the science behind the products; all before proceeding to the skill of injection planning and techniques.

We want to provide you with the whole picture, to help you understand the “why we inject” before we teach you the “where” and “how.”

With key opinion leaders from the industries largest producers of toxin and hyaluronic acid, you can be certain your getting the most up to date training available in the UK.
