This course gives you all the knowledge and practical skills needed to perform anti-wrinkle treatments. From product knowledge and treatment areas to injection techniques and live models you will first complete online training from the comfort of your own workplace or home which will teach and test your understanding of a wide range of modules crucial to give you the best background understanding of the subject including the anatomy and physiology of the face and skin.

On this course you will learn how to assess the musculature and anatomy of the face to determine the individual treatment plan per client (as every face is different and what works for one, may not work for another); learn the current trends and how to apply them; the reconstitution of toxins and how to adjust the toxin to suit feminine vs masculine clients.

Following this will be online theory training with an expert practitioner to further underpin your knowledge. Finally, you will attend practical training at the famous Cosmetic Couture Academy where you will learn the practical skills of administering anti-wrinkle treatments on live models overseen by your expert tutor. All practical training facilitated at the Cosmetic Couture clinic will result in fully accredited CPD certification.
