SPOTLIGHT ON...

Bite-Sized Aesthetics Courses Master the skills needed to deliver transformative cosmetic treatments with these cost-effective specialised courses.

Chemical Peel This cosmetic procedure involves a chemical solution being applied to the skin to exfoliate and remove damaged outer layers. This promotes skin regeneration, improving texture, reducing fine lines, and addressing issues like hyperpigmentation and acne scars. The result is smoother, more youthful-looking skin with a rejuvenated appearance.

Derma-Planing Bespoke This cosmetic treatment gives a deeper method of exfoliation by using a scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dulling dead skin cells in order to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. It also removes fine vellus hairs, creating radiant looking skin.

Derma Roller A derma roller treatment involves rolling a device covered in tiny needles over the skin to create micro-injuries, stimulating collagen production. This promotes skin regeneration, reducing wrinkles, scars, and improving texture. Results include enhanced skin firmness, reduced fine lines, and a more even complexion.

Micro Blading This treatment is an alternative method to the established micropigmentation. Microblading creates extremely natural eyebrows using organic semi-permanent make up colours to create fine hairlines which look authentic.

Results last up to 18 months.

Micro Needling This revolutionary, anti-aging treatment allows special skin serums to penetrate deeply into the intersection between the epidermis and the dermis. A rejuvenating roller stimulates the skin, allowing it to produce new collagen to firm and tone.

Micro-Pigmentation Lip Brush Techniques Lip blushing is a semi-permanent tattoo that can enhance the colour and shape of lips, giving the impression of more fullness. Colour ink is deposited into the lips and lip line, improving the overall look. The colour chosen is dependent on skin tone and lip colour, and can be used to give subtle, natural-looking results or more dramatic effects.
