Before you book
How aesthetics levels work
- Level 4: advanced skin treatments such as needling and rejuvenation therapies.
- Level 5: higher level non surgical procedures that build on Level 4 study.
- Level 7: the same level as a master's degree in the framework used in England, for advanced aesthetic practice.
- CPD: shorter learning that adds to existing knowledge.
Entry requirements
Advanced aesthetics courses usually ask for earlier qualifications, such as a Level 3 in beauty therapy for Level 4 study. Level 7 training that includes injectable treatments is for learners who meet the entry requirements set by the centre and awarding body. Rules on who may carry out injectables differ between countries, so check what applies where you work.
Building your knowledge
Skin science courses like corneotherapy help you choose treatments that respect the skin's natural function, which supports good results with any modality you learn.
Before you book
- Confirm the entry requirements and bring proof of earlier certificates.
- Ask how practical assessment works and who provides models.
- Check that your insurer covers each treatment.
- Look into local licensing for needle based treatments.
