Each course has online support and follow up via email and we are interactive with trainees when they have questions about course material.

With revalidation coming in for professionals doing Aesthetics we are also including access to our e-portfolio system with these courses and both courses can be counted towards self-verified CPD points and trainees undertaking either course will receive a certificate of completion. Those combining the Foundation and Advanced course will receive an E-Diploma from Visage Academy in the administration and the use of Botulinum Toxin Type A & Hyaluronic Acid Gel for Aesthetics.

I have really enjoyed the videos today. So much more in depth information than a previous course I took lacked, I feel I know so much more now & it’s a really good way to take in information, being able to pause the video & write everything down or re-watch something when I didn’t understand the first time. Really appreciate this learning tool.
Advanced Botulinum A and Hyluronic acid Gel use for Aesthetic
Brilliant course. I have enjoyed thoroughly the course. So much information and practical sessions. Dr Aitkin was very attentive, excellent trainer, had a lot of patience and very experienced. He dealt him with demanding customers ( models) very well and it was an excellent experience both in administration of Botox and Dermal filler, but also in handling demanding customers. I recommend the course whole heartedly.
Advanced Training in the use of Botulinum Toxin Type A & Hyaluronic Acid Gel for Aesthetics
An excellent, enjoyable course that I would highly recommend. The online element is highly informative and a great foundation for the two hands-on practical days you spend with Dr Aiken when you have the opportunity to practice and observe many Dermal Filler and Botulinum Toxin Type A treatments. Dr Aiken is supportive and informative throughout the entire course and his approach gives you the confidence to practise these treatments. The venue and food provided is also excellent. All round five star course. Anne-Marie
advanced
excellent course very informative 🙂
really enjoyed the course
i have found the course very interesting and informative. i feel it has touched on everything i need to know to go ahead with my face to face course in London. The videos were very informative and easier to take in that reading a script or power point.
Brilliant
This course is put together really well, both the theory and pratical are taught to a high standard.
Excellent
advanced course was very thorough and great to complete it at my own time and in the comfort of my own home and workplace. I didn’t complete it all at once, but found this better as it wasn’t information overload and was able to go back over it and hopefully will retain it better than doing it all as a bolus!!
Very interesting module, well structured and methodical. Really helpful to see how Dr. Aicken is thinking through different scenarios and the logic behind them so that it can be applied to a variety of situations. Also a lot of food for thought. The mini quiz helps to consolidate the modules making it easier to retain! A really helpful course I’m glad I took!

Excellent
Very clear guidelines and tips
I especially find the videos helpfully
Looking forward to getting started
More theoretical and technical course
Great detailed and in depth information. The videos were great to support in assessment.
Best Aesthetics course around
After having researched many courses, I was very pleased to have attended the foundation and advanced training course with with visage academy.
I found the Online videos to be very informative and very easy to follow- Dr Aiken explains every aspect of dermal filler and Botox in quite a lot of detail. Each injection technique and dose is very carefully explained by Dr Aiken both in the videos and also during the face to face training. Dr Aiken provides all students with all the knowledge and skill set they require to become safe and competent practitioner’s. All safety aspects are thoroughly explained, from anaphylaxis to dealing with dermal filler and Botox complications. I left the course full of knowledge and confident enough to inject patients straight away. A month after finishing the course, Dr Aiken’s support has been invaluable and second to none. Visage Academy were very helpful with ordering emergency kit supplies. being a novice to the aesthetics industry I highly value the way in which Dr Aiken mentors and supports his students and is always on hand to offer advice and support-something not all training courses are able to offer. If you are interested in doing an aesthetics course, I would very highly recommend trainining with Visage aesthetics. Dr Aiken is an excellent teacher and mentor. Thank you Dr Aiken and Ruth for making the course so enjoyable and making us feel so welcome and comfortable on the day.

As a non Medic
As a non Medical person, (I practice in specilised areas of Clinical Electrolysis) I have found this course to be positive, very informed and challenging to pre-conceved ideas I personally had about both the application, possable complications, and actions needed to correct things when they go wrong, with the areas of application with Botox and Dermal Fillers.
I personally found getting the odd questions wrong of great value as It highlighted to me the need to go back over certain aspects of this training to gain a better understanding of certain elements in it.
advaced Training
Great videos and explanations without too much medical jargon
Advanced Training in the use of Botox and dermal filler
Reviewed learning from foundation course and added to with advanced techniques taught with supportive video demonstrations.
Advanced use of Botox
Course information all well documented and backed up with easy to follow videos, have printed off all information and downloaded the videos so I can recap on all I have read and watched, was really pleased with how Mike made it all look possible for me to achieve passing the course, with a bit more studying I feel more confident I can do it.
Clearly presented course. Very imformative and interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and look forward to the practical side very soon. Thank you
Enjoyable
Delivered in an understandable manner and I can imagine should meet the needs of varying learning styles. Shame the cert prints off tiny and a bit pixelated .
online course
looking forward to going on the course next week! I have liked how this training manual is laid out . I also like the fact that you can go back and look at the videos and information after you finish the online course. So i can brush up on areas that i feel i need more learning on.
Simple and detailed
Explained modules In depth yet understandable and simple manners. A few things were repeated in order to stress the importance of certain knowledge .
Suggestion: Needs a unit regarding the use of cannula technique.
