Foundation Botox & Dermal Filler Course

Derma Medical's foundation course is for registered medical professionals entering aesthetics, with no previous aesthetic training required. Pre-course resources prepare delegates for a morning of anatomy, assessment, consultation and complication teaching, followed by supervised practice on live models.

The one-day course is currently offered at £995.40 including VAT, reduced from £1,106 with 8 CPD points. Dates are offered in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle and Edinburgh. Confirm professional eligibility and the venue-specific booking option with Derma Medical.

Morning theory and afternoon practice

The morning covers facial anatomy and mapping, consultation, injection landmarks, complication management and starting an aesthetics business. Afternoon training is on live patient models, supervised in groups of five or fewer.
