Our Most Asked Questions

Yes, this advanced masterclass is designed for practitioners who have already completed foundation and advanced training in botulinum toxin and dermal filler procedures. You should have practical experience with facial aesthetics injections and be familiar with basic injection techniques. If you're a nurse practitioner registered with the NMC or hold a Level 7 Diploma in aesthetic treatments, you'll find this course builds perfectly on your existing knowledge. Our industry experts recommend having treated at least 50 patients before attending this complications-focused programme.

Our complications masterclass is exclusively delivered through person training at our Harley Street facility. While we offer some foundation aesthetic training modules online, the practical nature of managing aesthetic complications requires hands-on experience with real-life case studies, emergency kit demonstrations, and direct supervision from our senior faculty.

This in-person approach ensures you can practice injection techniques for administering emergency medications and receive immediate feedback from international equivalent experts in the field of aesthetic medicine.

The masterclass comprehensively covers complications for both botulinum toxin (Botox) and dermal filler treatments. For Botox complications, we focus on managing blepharoptosis, facial asymmetries, and allergic reactions through evidence-based treatment protocols.

The filler training component addresses vascular occlusion emergencies, nodule management, and biofilm infections. Our aestheticians and nurse practitioners will learn to differentiate between immediate and delayed complications, with practical sessions on hyaluronidase administration and patient care protocols developed by industry experts.

This complications masterclass focuses specifically on managing adverse events from injectable aesthetic treatments (botulinum toxin and dermal fillers). While we don't cover chemical peels complications in this programme, the emergency management principles and patient care protocols you'll learn are transferable across aesthetic treatments. The course provides CPD accreditation recognised by major UK insurance providers and aesthetic bodies. For comprehensive training in chemical peels and other rejuvenation treatments, we recommend our separate advanced aesthetics programmes led by the same senior faculty.

Our senior faculty comprises consultant plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and experienced aesthetic physicians with international equivalent qualifications who are recognised leaders in the field of aesthetic medicine. Each instructor has extensive experience managing real-life case studies of complications and actively contributes to aesthetic training standards.

Our team includes NMC-registered advanced nurse practitioners and physicians who have developed treatment protocols now used across the UK. All our industry experts maintain active clinical practices, ensuring the course content reflects current best practices in aesthetic complications management and patient care.
