Micro Needling

Our Microneedling Course has been designed to provide learners with the theoretical knowledge, practical competence and professional confidence required to safely perform professional microneedling treatments within a clinical or aesthetic environment.

This comprehensive programme combines evidence-based theory with practical hands-on training, enabling learners to understand the science behind collagen induction therapy whilst delivering safe, effective and results-driven skin rejuvenation treatments. Students will learn how microneedling stimulates the skin’s natural healing response to improve texture, tone and overall skin quality, creating long-lasting improvements for a variety of skin concerns.

Throughout the course, learners will develop an in-depth understanding of skin anatomy and physiology, the wound healing process, collagen and elastin production, consultation techniques, skin analysis and treatment planning. Students will learn how to assess client suitability, select appropriate needle depths and treatment protocols, and safely perform microneedling treatments tailored to each client’s individual skin concerns and goals.

Practical training covers every stage of the treatment process, including client preparation, skin cleansing, device handling, treatment mapping, needle depth selection, treatment techniques, application of professional serums, post-treatment care and treatment planning. Emphasis is placed on delivering safe, comfortable and effective treatments whilst maintaining the highest standards of infection prevention and client safety.
