Micro Needling (1:1)

Embark on a transformative journey with our micro needling course. Dive deep into the intricacies of collagen induction therapy as you learn to wield fine needles for skin rejuvenation. The purpose of treatment is to generate new collagen and skin tissue for smoother, firmer, more toned skin. From reducing wrinkles to diminishing acne scars, discover the power of this innovative technique. Gain hands-on experience and unlock the secrets to radiant, youthful skin. Elevate your skincare practice and empower your clients to embrace their beauty anew. 

Course structure

You will be provided with pre-course reading which will cover basic anatomy and physiology, and health and safety. This will be recapped in your session.

The micro-needling course will be completed in one day between 10am-2pm (times may vary). You will learn the theory of the treatment as well as carry out practical assessments on live models.

A practical assessment is carried out using a model, allowing you the maximum time during the training to work upon acquiring and demonstrating the required technique. We recommend bringing your own model. If you can’t, let the Academy know at least 48 hours before your course. The Academy can support with finding you a model for a £10 admin fee.

Additional information

We do not include any kits with our training course offers. However we will provide any equipment required to complete the practical training on the day. We like to encourage you to find brands, products and tools that suit you. Your tutor will be able to support you with products and tools advice on the day, and you can also refer to your course manual for this information.

Upon completion of the micro-needling course you will receive an accredited qualification and with this you will also be able to obtain insurance. We recommend you check that your insurance company insures the treatment and whether that will incur any additional costs to you before purchasing this course.

You are covered under our insurance policy on the day of your training, however as soon as you are off site you will be required to have your own insurance. If you are a new student you can obtain a student only policy (usually around £20 a year) until you are charging for treatments. If you already have insurance please ensure you contact your insurance company to add your new service to your policy. Insurance is YOUR responsibility.
