Our Foundation Botulinum Toxin (Anti-Wrinkle) Course has been designed to provide practitioners with the essential theoretical knowledge, practical competence and clinical confidence required to safely perform botulinum toxin treatments within aesthetic practice.
This comprehensive programme combines evidence-based theory with practical hands-on training, allowing learners to develop the core skills required to assess clients, formulate effective treatment plans and administer botulinum toxin safely while achieving natural-looking, balanced results.
Throughout the course, learners will gain an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy, muscle function, the ageing process and facial assessment. Students will learn how botulinum toxin works, how to assess muscle movement and facial symmetry, and how to create bespoke treatment plans tailored to each client’s individual anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Practical training focuses on the three most requested anti-wrinkle treatment areas, providing students with the confidence to perform treatments safely and accurately whilst maintaining the highest standards of clinical practice.
Treatment Areas Covered
- Glabellar Lines (Frown Lines)
- Frontalis (Forehead Lines)
- Lateral Canthal Lines (Crow’s Feet)
The course also provides comprehensive training in client consultation, medical history taking, facial assessment, dosage calculations, injection techniques, treatment mapping, contraindications, precautions and expected treatment outcomes. Learners will understand the importance of maintaining natural facial movement whilst reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.
Significant emphasis is placed on infection prevention, patient safety, informed consent, managing expectations and recognising potential complications. Students will also learn appropriate aftercare protocols, review appointments and documentation to ensure treatments are delivered safely, ethically and professionally.
