At Acquisition Aesthetics, we pride ourselves on our commitment to providing the highest quality injectables training, with each course carefully curated for the success of our delegates. A fundamental aspect of our Level 7 aesthetics diploma is the mentoring that our learners receive from esteemed members of our aesthetic faculty. These highly-qualified aestheticians and experienced trainers play an integral role in the development and progression of each delegate.
Read on to learn more about the Level 7 course at Acquisition Aesthetics and how our mentoring structure sets us apart from other training providers.
What is the Level 7 aesthetics diploma?
The Level 7 diploma in aesthetics was introduced after tighter regulations on non-surgical interventions were implemented in response to a report by Health Education England (HEE). This report outlined significant issues in the practice of aesthetic medicine that posed a risk to public health and the need to control the training of injectable procedures more strictly.
The Level 7 aesthetic medicine course aims to bridge this gap in aestheticians’ training standards, providing delegates with a comprehensive practical and theoretical understanding of injectable procedures. The diploma is becoming widely recognised as the minimum standard certification to enable medical professionals to practice aesthetic medicine.
The course is open to medical professionals, including doctors, dentists and nurses, as well as pharmacists on a case-by-case basis. With an official deadline of 36 months to complete, it is fully flexible and provides a mixed practical and online aesthetics course. A few of the benefits you can enjoy from completing the Level 7 dermal filler and botox® training include:
- A postgraduate level of understanding of the key principles involved in the field of non-surgical injectable medicine, including comprehensive knowledge of the anatomy of the face and neck and skin physiology.
- The ability to successfully conduct a productive and thorough patient consultation, identifying risk factors and tailoring a treatment plan to meet the unique needs of each patient.
- A thorough understanding of the different types of techniques used in injectable procedures and the ability to determine the best method for each client.
- A highly-regarded qualification from a reputable training provider and the opportunity to learn from an esteemed faculty of trainers.
- A “future-proofed” career in a field that is growing at a phenomenal rate, as well as the freedom of creating your own schedule and an increased work-life balance.
