From beginner to top-up courses

Introductory Course

• All that’s necessary to safely introduce basic dermal filler and Botox treatments to your practice
• Requirements for best practice protocols
• Underlying anatomy and physiology

• Botox use primarily in the upper third of the face: frown lines, forehead lines and crows’ feet
• Dermal fillers for nasolabial folds and lip enhancement
• Marketing advice
• Mentoring and follow-up advice in practice

We have found that of the many training courses available, very few tailor the course to the diverse needs of individual participants. We offer an introductory course to either individuals or small groups, often a group of friends or colleagues so that at the end of the session they are safe and confident to provide basic treatments to their patients.

Advanced Course

• Review of basics (as above)
• Whole face sculpting
• Advanced diagnosis and treatment planning
• Combination protocols for Fillers and Botox
• Treatment of Platysma and the lower third of the face
• Problem solving
• Tips the text books don’t tell you

We also find that some participants have perhaps been to a course already where they are in a large group, with little hands on experience. They may often have lacked the confidence to provide treatments unaided and time goes on and the momentum to ‘ take the plunge’ is lost. Our courses can build on the initial knowledge and help participants to effectively incorporate these procedures into their practices.

Training FAQs

What is covered in the course?
All that is necessary to safely introduce facial aesthetic treatments into your practice.

How long do courses last for?
Generally courses are for one day. Some revision courses are completed in a half-day session.

What qualification will I achieve?
At the end of the course you will receive a certificate of competence which will enable you to obtain insurance for aesthetic treatments from Hamilton Fraser.

When can I start introducing facial aesthetic treatments into my practice?
You will be able to start practicing immediately; we encourage you to start straight away whilst all that you have learnt on the course is still very fresh in your mind.

Who can provide these treatments?
Doctors, Dentists and registered Nurses

Who can prescribe Botox?
Doctors, dentists and nurse prescribers. Nurses without the prescribing qualification will need a ‘prescribing buddy’ to assess patients and issues a specific prescription. The nurse is then able to carry out the treatment for the named patient on that prescription.

Why should I bring my own models?
The full effects of Botox take two weeks to develop. You will thus be able to see the results of your treatments provided on the course with the models you have brought with you. In addition these models generally become loyal regular patients to your practice.

Can I do any studying before the course?
Yes, we will send you a comprehensive manual when you book the course. We ask that you study this before you attend. You will also receive a DVD after the course. This reiterates all that we have covered during the day.

How does the follow-up operate after the course?
We keep in touch via e-mail, skype, telephone or face to face.

Can I join a group for training?
Yes. Some individual participants like to join a group of two or three other candidate; this keeps the cost down and has the added advantage that you see a wider range of models and procedures. We try and match an individual to a compatible group of peers.

What is the cost of training in my own practice?
The only additional cost is to cover our time and expenses travelling to you.

Train at your own practice
For larger groups we are happy to provide local training at your practice or venue of choice.
