VTCT Level 4 Award in Skin Rejuvenation
In recent years, there has been a strong focus on Laser and IPL training, particularly on the quality, duration and expertise of the training provider.
In the rapidly growing aesthetics industry, having regulated qualifications is an excellent way to distinguish your clinic from others. It not only equips you with the best knowledge for performing treatments but also ensures you deliver optimal results for your clients.
We believe this is the ideal course for anyone seeking to gain competence and confidence in performing skin rejuvenation treatments within their own business.
Useful Information
The JCCP are now saying that all practitioners, regardless of their background, must hold regulated qualifications to ensure they are delivering safe and proper treatments.
Local councils, particularly in areas such as London, Wales, Northern Ireland, Leicester and Nottingham are increasingly requiring these relevant qualifications.
