Dermaroller / Micro Needling Accredited Diploma Course

One day professional training course in Dermaroller|Skin needling.

This skin needling treatment using a 1.5mm dermaroller creates a multitude of tiny puncture wounds to the dermis which induces the release of growth factors that stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin. 

By creating dermal damage without removal of the healthy epidermis, healing time is rapid with quick results that will last.

This course is open to experienced therapists only - please see requirements needed to attend below.

• Creates controlled injury to the skin without causing damage – stimulates new collagen and elastin production, boosting the skin’s own repair system for firmer, even skin tone as well as reducing lines and wrinkles

Medical Skin Needling produces similar results to Lasers and Deep Chemical Peels but is a much less invasive skin renewal technique at a fraction of the cost and with minimal or zero downtime.


Skin Needling is suitable for treating all skin types, including ethnic skin. The treatment can be used to treat the fragile skin around the eyes, mouth and neck.

The micro-needling procedure creates thousands of micro wounds, triggering new collagen synthesis. It allows for controlled induction of the skin’s self repair mechanism so the whole procedure is all-natural and fast.

A course of 3 treatments at 6 – 8 week intervals is recommended to achieve optimum results, however great skin improvement is noticed after just one treatment.

FAQ

I have noticed the course I want to book is full, can you squeeze another student on?

No we are sorry we cannot do this, we have to stick to the advertised numbers due to specialising in small classes and not having room at the venues to take more people.

However what we suggest is to book onto the next date available that you can make and when filling out your details, there is a note box section within the booking form. You can request here that you can be moved to the earlier date if there are any cancellations so you can be prioritised and contacted if we have anyone drop out.
