Aesthetic Practitioner Course

Lesson 1 • Infection Control and Sterilisation

Establishes aseptic technique, PPE use, and waste disposal protocols for clinical settings. Forms the non-negotiable safety baseline applied in every hands-on chapter.

Lesson 2 • Aesthetic Consultation Principles

Teaches structured patient assessment, goal-setting, and expectation management. Connects ethical communication to clinical decision-making throughout the course.

Lesson 3 • Skin Anatomy and Physiology

Covers epidermal layers, dermal structures, and skin ageing mechanisms. Provides the biological baseline for understanding how all aesthetic treatments interact with tissue.

Lesson 4 • Regulatory and Safety Framework

Outlines practitioner scope of practice, product licensing, and clinical governance requirements. Ensures every treatment decision aligns with professional and regulatory obligations.

Lesson 1 • Drug Interactions and Contraindications

Identifies medications and conditions that alter treatment safety or efficacy. Integrates directly with consultation screening to prevent adverse outcomes.

Lesson 2 • Dermal Filler Science

Covers hyaluronic acid cross-linking, rheology, and filler classification by G-prime. Enables product selection matched to tissue plane, indication, and desired outcome.

Lesson 3 • Topical Agents and Cosmeceuticals

Reviews active ingredients including retinoids, peptides, antioxidants, and SPF agents. Connects home-care prescribing to treatment outcomes and skin health maintenance.

Lesson 4 • Anaesthesia and Pain Management

Covers topical anaesthetics, nerve blocks, and patient comfort strategies for aesthetic procedures. Reduces treatment anxiety and improves procedural accuracy and patient retention.

Lesson 1 • Upper Face Injection Techniques

Covers glabellar, forehead, and periorbital injection patterns with anatomical rationale. Builds core neurotoxin competency before advancing to complex lower face areas.

Lesson 2 • Reconstitution and Dosing Protocols

Teaches product preparation, dilution ratios, and unit measurement across brands. Accurate dosing is the foundation of predictable neurotoxin outcomes.

Lesson 3 • Lower Face and Neck Treatments

Addresses perioral lines, masseter, mentalis, and platysmal band injections. Requires upper face competency and deeper anatomical precision to execute safely.

Lesson 4 • Neurotoxin Complication Management

Identifies, grades, and manages complications including ptosis, asymmetry, and headache. Prepares practitioners to respond clinically rather than reactively.

Lesson 1 • Lip and Perioral Filler

Teaches lip border, body, and philtrum augmentation with proportion and symmetry principles. Lip treatment is the highest-demand entry-level filler skill for new practitioners.

Lesson 2 • Jawline, Chin, and Nose

Covers structural filler for chin projection, jawline definition, and non-surgical rhinoplasty. These high-risk zones demand advanced anatomical knowledge and precise technique.

Lesson 3 • Cheek and Midface Volumisation

Addresses malar, submalar, and zygomatic augmentation using deep bolus and supraperiosteal techniques. Midface volume restoration underpins facial rejuvenation outcomes.

Lesson 4 • Vascular Occlusion Emergency Protocol

Trains recognition and immediate management of vascular occlusion using hyaluronidase. This life-saving protocol is mandatory before any independent filler practice.

Lesson 1 • Biostimulators and Skin Boosters

Covers polynucleotides, PLLA, and hyaluronic acid skin boosters for dermal quality improvement. Distinguishes biostimulatory mechanisms from volumising filler applications.

Lesson 2 • Microneedling and Collagen Induction

Covers device selection, needle depth, and treatment protocols for collagen induction therapy. Builds on wound healing knowledge to optimise skin remodelling outcomes.

Lesson 3 • Chemical Peels and Exfoliation

Teaches superficial, medium, and deep peel selection, application, and aftercare. Peel depth must match skin type and condition to avoid post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Lesson 4 • Combination Treatment Planning

Teaches sequencing of multiple modalities within a single patient treatment plan. Prevents contra-indicated combinations and maximises cumulative skin improvement.

Lesson 1 • Cryolipolysis and Fat Reduction

Covers cryolipolysis mechanism, applicator selection, and treatment zone mapping. Teaches paradoxical adipose hyperplasia recognition as a critical safety competency.

Lesson 2 • Radiofrequency Body Tightening

Teaches monopolar, bipolar, and multipolar RF application for skin tightening and cellulite. Connects thermal energy principles to collagen remodelling outcomes in body tissue.

Lesson 3 • Body Anatomy and Assessment

Reviews subcutaneous fat distribution, skin laxity grading, and body contouring candidacy. Accurate assessment prevents inappropriate treatment selection and patient dissatisfaction.

Lesson 1 • Psychological and Medicolegal Response

Prepares practitioners to manage distressed patients, complaints, and formal medicolegal processes. Protects both patient welfare and practitioner professional standing.

Lesson 2 • Inflammatory and Allergic Reactions

Covers hypersensitivity, granuloma formation, and biofilm-related delayed reactions. Distinguishes normal post-treatment responses from pathological inflammatory events.

Lesson 3 • Complication Classification Framework

Introduces a graded severity model for categorising aesthetic complications by urgency. Provides the decision-making structure applied across all complication management sections.

Lesson 4 • Infection and Skin Complications

Addresses bacterial, viral, and fungal post-treatment infections including herpes reactivation. Connects infection control protocols to prevention and early treatment strategies.

Lesson 1 • Clinical Photography and Outcome Tracking

Standardises photography protocols, consent, and outcome measurement for clinical records. Enables evidence-based review of results and supports professional portfolio development.

Lesson 2 • Body Dysmorphic Disorder Screening

Teaches BDD recognition, validated screening tools, and ethical refusal of treatment. Protects vulnerable patients and shields practitioners from harm-enabling outcomes.

Lesson 3 • Treating Diverse Patient Populations

Adapts protocols for ageing skin, darker skin tones, male patients, and gender-affirming aesthetics. Ensures inclusive, culturally competent practice across all patient demographics.

Lesson 4 • Full-Face Rejuvenation Protocols

Designs integrated multi-treatment plans addressing volume, texture, and dynamic movement. Synthesises all prior technical skills into cohesive, staged patient journeys.
