In the last few years, the aesthetics industry has seen a huge demand for skin needling treatments. The VTCT (ITEC) Level 4 Certificate in Skin Needling is an advanced qualification designed specifically for both level 3 qualified beauty and medical practitioners. The Level 4 Skin Microneedling course is suitable for all practitioners seeking to add advanced procedures to their treatment offering.
In the ever-growing and expanding aesthetics industry, being able to show that you have regulated qualifications is a great way to set you apart from other clinics. It also enables you to gain the best knowledge in performing treatments, which helps you to achieve the best results for your clients.
We believe this to be one of the best course out there for practitioners who want to be competent and confident in performing skin needling treatments in their own business.
Useful Information
The JCCP is now stating that regulated qualifications are a must and that all practitioners should have them, regardless of background, to ensure correct and safe treatment.
