Foundation Wrinkle Relaxing Treatments CPD

A comprehensive foundation course for registered healthcare professionals who are beginning their training in wrinkle relaxing treatments. The course provides the essential theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to assess, plan and safely perform treatments to the three principal upper-face areas: the glabellar complex, frontalis and lateral canthal lines. Learners will develop an understanding of facial anatomy, muscle function, static and dynamic wrinkles, ageing, patient assessment and the relationship between the brow elevators and depressors. Training focuses on full upper-face assessment rather than treating individual lines in isolation. The course covers health and safety, infection prevention, sharps management, bloodborne pathogens, prescribing requirements, consultation, contraindications, informed consent, clinical photography, product storage, reconstitution, product-specific units, facial mapping, injection depth, treatment techniques, aftercare and clinical documentation. Learners will also explore patient expectations, treatment longevity, review appointments, complication prevention and the recognition and management of unwanted effects, including brow heaviness, brow ptosis, eyelid ptosis, asymmetry and excessive lateral brow elevation. As botulinum toxin is a Prescription Only Medicine, learners will be taught the legal role of the prescriber, the requirement for an individual patient assessment and prescription, and the responsibilities of the practitioner administering the treatment. Training includes pre-course theory, educator-led demonstrations, supervised live-model treatment and a structured practical assessment. Learners must meet the required safety-critical and area-specific competency criteria before certification is issued. Successful learners will be certificated in the treatment of the glabellar complex, frontalis and lateral canthal lines only. This course is intended for appropriately qualified and registered healthcare professionals. Evidence of professional registration and appropriate insurance will be required.
