BOTOX® Intro & Refresher Course

Half Day Introduction/Refresher Course £495

half day botox intro refresher

SkinViva Training’s BOTOX® Intro & Refresher Course is a half day workshop for aesthetic practitioners looking specifically for training in botulinum toxin treatments at an entry to intermediate level.

This course is aimed specifically at those trainees who want to focus on building the core practical skills and theory in BOTOX® procedures. It is an ideal introduction to this popular treatment and includes extensive practice on live models.

It is also highly recommended for those seeking a refresher course. Perhaps it’s been a while since your initial training or you are looking to top up on training elsewhere. It’s the ideal way to build confidence through guided practice on live models, equipping you to start treatments in your own business.

As well as learning best-practice injection techniques, you will also receive all background introductory modules covering everything you need to be an independent aesthetic professional including medico-legal aspects, consent, consultation skills to managing and preventing rare side effects.

You will leave us confident in your ability to inject effectively, and also with the skills to set up a business as a safe and capable aesthetic professional.

SkinViva Training’s BOTOX® Intro & Refresher Course is recommended for all suitably qualified and registered medical professionals who are either new and inexperienced with cosmetic injectable treatments, or have had some experience but want to update their skills and learn more best-practice technique.

This course is entirely focused on botulinum treatments and does not encompass dermal fillers. Our popular Foundation BOTOX® & Dermal Fillers is recommended for those who wish to cover both areas.
