Blemishes covered

The course covers assessment and treatment principles for a broad range of blemishes, including age spots, Campbell de Morgan spots (cherry angiomas), dermatosis papulosa nigra, milia, mole reduction, molluscum contagiosum, sebaceous cysts, seborrhoeic keratoses, spider naevi, skin tags, syringomas, facial thread veins (telangiectasia), leg thread veins, verrucae, warts and xanthomas.

Hands-on practice on specific blemish types depends on suitable models being available on your training dates; the theory and technique for every blemish above are covered regardless.

How the course runs

Before you arrive. Home-study theory is sent when your place is confirmed, so you arrive on day one already understanding the anatomy, the technology and the principles.

Days one and two. Two full days in the clinic. Demonstration, then supervised practice on live models with Kolaine alongside you. Small groups mean you are treating, not watching.

After the course. You complete 10 case studies in your own clinic or salon and submit them for feedback. Once they are signed off, your certificate is issued. Please allow two weeks for marking once you have submitted your case studies. Support is available throughout your case studies and beyond.
