The course will provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform foundation aesthetic procedures and injectable techniques safely and with confidence.

This includes our Advanced Dermal Fillers and Botulinum Toxin Training course, and our Level 7 Diploma in Cosmetic Injectable Therapies for Aesthetic Medicine, where your prior learning on this foundation course counts towards your qualification.
