VTCT (ITEC) Level 4 OFQUAL Qualification Award in Skin Needling

 

In recent years, the demand for skin needling treatments has surged within the aesthetics industry. The VTCT (ITEC) Level 4 Award in Skin Needling is an advanced qualification tailored for both Level 3 beauty professionals and medical practitioners. This course is ideal for those looking to expand their treatment offerings with more advanced procedures.

In the rapidly evolving aesthetics field, holding regulated qualifications not only sets your clinic apart but also ensures you gain the expertise needed to deliver high-quality treatments and achieve the best outcomes for your clients.

We believe this course is the perfect choice for practitioners aiming to confidently and competently perform skin needling treatments in their practice.

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.

Why Train with Lynton?

Uniquely, we are able to offer hands-on experience on a wide range of different systems, unlike many other training providers who generally only have one system at their disposal. We believe no other training centre has the same number of systems available.

“I just wanted to express my thanks for running the webinar today about getting back to work following lockdown.

I am due to go back to work tomorrow and have struggled to find reliable information on top of the BMLA guidance.

The Laser I use is not one of Lynton’s, it is actually still under warranty, and we have had no support or guidance from the company during this time. So, I’d just like to say the information and time that was given today for ALL laser practitioners has been invaluable and extremely generous!

I will definitely be looking to enroll on some of the training that I have seen is available, following this webinar.

Thank you once again!”

The clinic may be closed for now, but the training continues. I was excited to be part of the first virtual Core of Knowledge course today with Lynton Lasers. This is such an important course when working with laser and IPL, underpinning the safe use of lasers in clinical practice. Thank you Lynton for making this possible today!

Helen Campbell, Clinic Director, Parkview Lasercare

You really are doing some golden webinars to keep us all going through lockdown.

Beauty Tutor Leeds

I would like to say how marvellous the Lynton company has been. We purchased a piece of equipment from Lynton in September as part of the Level 4 Beauty therapy delivery and the initial consultation was so professional and informative. Once purchased our training with Gill Herrick (Clinical Trainer at Lynton), she was excellent, this lady’s' knowledge was excellent, and she took time to deliver a system in a true professional manner. I have since had contact with this lady for various reasons and she has always acknowledged quickly my needs regarding delivery of services etc. I am delighted with the whole support that has been provided and this has allowed a confident approach in delivering services. Thank you for your support.

“It takes a truly incredible company to lead, support, and inspire during these unprecedented times. But this year wouldn’t have been the same without you. Without your ongoing technical, clinical, and educational support, it’s been second to none, you’ve really kept us all going.”

Expansion of Premises to Facilitate Entry into Export Markets

To facilitate its entry into new export markets, Lynton Lasers Ltd required increased manufacturing space, as well as new demonstration and training facilities. To this end, LEADER Funding was applied for, and won, to support the refurbishment of an adjacent business unit (Unit 9d) as well as the re-arrangement and refurbishment of the existing business unit (Unit 6) on Holmes Chapel Business Park.

This Project was part funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development
