Pathway To Aesthetics

PATHWAY TO AESTHETICS TRAINING COURSE

Our blended courses are designed for our learners to complete the theory online in the privacy of their own homes, sit a brief test and then come along to our practical sessions. We will have the first hour for any questions then it’s a full-on practical session with live models.

Covered in this course are level 3 Anatomy & Physiology, Facials, Microneedling, superficial chemical peels, Vitamins B12, C, D, Biotin, botulinum Toxin and Dermal fillers with Hyaluronidase. Basic life support with Anaphylaxis and complications.

Practical days are as follows,

Day 1 – Facial, Microneedling, Chemical peels & Vitamins B12, C, D, Biotin

Day 2 – Botulinum Toxin

Day 3 – Dermal Fillers

Course content:

• Microneedling

Understand the intricacies of microneedling, a popular and minimally invasive cosmetic procedure. Microneedling involves the use of fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface. Learn the physiological responses triggered by these micro-injuries, such as collagen and elastin production, leading to skin rejuvenation and improved texture.

• Chemical Peel

Understand the diverse range of chemical agents utilised in peels, each designed to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin by removing damaged outer layers. Learn about the intricate mechanisms behind chemical peels, elucidating the physiological responses that lead to improved skin tone, reduced pigmentation, and the amelioration of various dermatological concerns. 

• A&P of the Skin

Explore the Anatomy and Physiology (A&P) of the skin, laying the foundation for a comprehensive understanding of the body's largest organ. Understand the intricate structures and functions of the skin, gaining insights into its various layers, appendages, and physiological processes. The curriculum begins with an in-depth examination of the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue, elucidating their roles in maintaining skin integrity and function. Learn about the vascular and nervous systems within the skin, understanding their contributions to circulation, sensation, and overall skin health.

• Vitamin B12, C, D, Biotin

Understand the essential role of key vitamins – B12, C, D, and Biotin – in maintaining skin health and overall well-being. Learn about the physiological functions of each vitamin, understanding their impact on skin structure, function, and appearance. Look at the role of Vitamin B12, elucidating its crucial role in cell metabolism, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell formation. Explore how deficiencies in Vitamin B12 can manifest in skin-related issues and learn about its potential benefits in aesthetic contexts. Understand Vitamin C its antioxidant properties and its vital role in collagen synthesis and how it contributes to skin elasticity, protection against oxidative stress, and overall skin rejuvenation.

• Consultation, Medical and Consent Requirements

Understand the pre-treatment processes that form the foundation for ethical and effective practice. Learn about the consultation process, emphasising its significance in understanding clients' needs, expectations, and medical history. Learn effective communication skills to establish rapport, assess aesthetic goals, and gather essential information to inform treatment planning.

• Contra-indications and Contra actions 

Contra-indications and Contra-actions, critical aspects that guide practitioners in ensuring the safety and appropriateness of aesthetic treatments. Gain a nuanced understanding of conditions and responses that may either contraindicate or present adverse reactions during or after aesthetic procedures.

• Pre-Care and Aftercare

Understand the critical role of thoughtful preparation and attentive follow-up in ensuring optimal outcomes and client satisfaction in aesthetic procedures. Learn about pre-care considerations, underscoring the importance of thorough client preparation before the commencement of any aesthetic treatment. How to conduct comprehensive assessments, covering factors such as medical history, lifestyle, and skincare routines to tailor pre-care recommendations specific to individual needs. Understand the steps and guidelines necessary for supporting clients in the post-treatment period, the management of potential side effects, recommendations for skincare routines, and the provision of clear, concise information to clients for their ongoing well-being.

• Product Knowledge

Learn about the various products available in the market, including their compositions, mechanisms of action, and specific applications. Understand the differences between Botulinum Toxin brands and various types of Dermal Fillers, allowing you to make informed decisions based on individual client needs and desired outcomes. Learn about the science behind these products, elucidating their effects on facial anatomy and the ageing process, and the practical considerations such as proper storage, reconstitution, and dosage calculations.

• Dermal Fillers

Understand the various types of dermal fillers, their compositions, and their applications in aesthetic treatments. Learn about the science behind dermal fillers, exploring how these substances interact with facial tissues to achieve desired outcomes such as volume restoration, wrinkle reduction, and facial contouring. Understand injection techniques, including anatomical considerations, depth of injection, and the use of different filler densities for specific areas of the face. Practical demonstrations and hands-on training enable participants to develop the skills necessary for precise and effective dermal filler administration.

• Botulinum Toxin

Understand the various Botulinum Toxin brands, their formulations, and their mechanisms of action. Learn about the science behind Botulinum Toxin, exploring how it temporarily inhibits muscle contractions to address dynamic wrinkles and lines effectively. Learn essential injection techniques, including anatomical considerations, dosage calculations, and precise placement for optimal results. Practical demonstrations and hands-on training enable participants to develop the skills required for accurate and safe administration of Botulinum Toxin treatments.

• Prescriber

The focus is on the role of the Prescriber, elucidating the responsibilities, ethical considerations, and collaborative aspects involved in prescribing medications within the aesthetic practice.
Looking at the legal and regulatory frameworks that govern prescription practices in aesthetics, ensuring practitioners understand the parameters and requirements for prescribing medications, and the importance of collaboration with medical professionals and the necessity of adhering to established guidelines. Learn about the range of medications commonly prescribed in aesthetic settings, including but not limited to botulinum toxin, dermal fillers, and topical preparations, and about the pharmacological properties, indications, and contraindications associated with these medications, enabling them to make informed decisions in collaboration with prescribers.
