Teoxane Laboratories are committed to offering the best Medical Education and training events to the Aesthetics industry, specifically injectors of hyaluronic acid.
Teoxane offer various different training avenues, all of which fall under a strict ‘Medical Education Standard’ set by Teoxane.
Each month, the brand holds hands-on Masterclass training sessions across the country, each with a certified Teoxane ‘Country Expert’ to lead the course.
In addition to this, local hands-on training courses are held with appointed ‘Brand Ambassador’ trainers across the country in each region.
Last of all, Teoxane employs an extremely experienced nurse practitioner, Heidi Dollimore, as a Training Manager. Heidi delivers hands-on, intimate training with customers of Teoxane every day.
It is a key objective for Teoxane to ensure that Medical Education practices are at the highest standards, and, that practitioners using Teoxane products have the best training services available to them. Medical Education is a common passion that we share with our customers, and as such, Teoxane holds at least one training event each working day of the year.
Targeting customers with a need for development of product knowledge, scientific properties of HA or who wish to become more advanced in their techniques – Teoxane training covers all needs with all training avenues.
As part of our training standards, Teoxane ensures all sessions are carried out in a clinical and clean environment, with adequate consumables, protocols and emergency equipment at every event to ensure the best standards of treatment during teaching and live injections.
Training courses are tailored to specific industry specialities including; NVQ Level 3 Beauty Therapists, Registered Nurses, Dentists, Doctors, Surgeons and Dermatologists.
Training courses consist of both theoretical and practical training, covering the science of lasers, practical treatment considerations, managing adverse events and treatment strategies. Following training a written assessment is completed by each delegate to ensure standards have been met, and to highlight any areas that may need further support before delegates are certified. Delegates must complete a minimum of 3 patients each during practical assessments, to ensure they feel confident with treating various areas of the face and body, as well as different skin types/conditions.
Once delegates are certified, support visits are booked 4-6 weeks following initial training to ensure delegates have further opportunity to discuss patients/questions they may have after treating, or for any reassurance they may need.
The course is a peer-to-peer programme whereby key global and local experts and trainers from a multidisciplinary team undertake safe and scientifically grounded clinical training.
The course is delivered in a dedicated state of the art training centre which means that key presentations and clinical elements are filmed, and individuals evaluate their own and the performances of each other in a way that leads to constructive, supportive feedback.
Each course has four modules – two scientific curriculums on toxin and hyaluronic acid fillers, as well as a review of the entire Galderma portfolio and a clinical assessment of injection skills. Participants are asked to prepare presentations to outline and assess their scientific and practical knowledge and ensure that they are able to deliver a competent standard of facial assessment and injection technique. Days 1 and 2 focus on the science behind fillers and toxins, product characteristics and clinical evidence and understanding of the Galderma portfolio, with an evaluation of flash facial assessments. On day 3 there is an evaluation of podium presentation techniques, together with a demonstration of the skills needed for product selection and injecting.
We run one-day Silhouette Soft training courses which are limited to plastic surgeons, doctors and dentists. We only admit medically trained professionals because the company is scientifically and medically orientated with a strong safety record. When physicians invest in Sinclair’s aesthetic products it is important they are not just buying a commodity, and that they learn about the ageing process, its relationship to human anatomy and how our products can be skilfully applied to address them. The courses are hosted at Harley Health Village and the full day includes a theory session, a treatment/product demonstration and a hands-on practical session.
Training in Ellansé is also run as a one-day course and is designed for surgeons, doctors, dentists and nurses. The focus of the training is on full-face rejuvenation using both needle and cannula. Ellansé training is held at Wigmore Medical’s facility in London, and workshops are also run regionally either in clinic or at the HealthXchange Academy in Manchester. The day-long course comprises a theory session about anatomy applied to aesthetic medicine, product demonstration and hands-on practical session.
We currently run two advanced courses for Perfectha: non-surgical rhinoplasty and tear trough. Each of these runs as a one-day course for surgeons, doctors, dentists and nurses. Each includes a theory session, product demonstration and hands-on practical session
We have four training venues located around the country offering clear and constructive courses. All our training schools are ideally located for easy accessibility.
As well as courses that cover our skincare and treatment devices, we offer business support classes such as how best to retail products; the format of this class allows everyone the opportunity to join Skinbrands on training whether they are a therapist, manager or front of house staff. We feel everyone can benefit from attending training to maximise their sales potential within the business.
Our training classes are full or half days that run for one of two days depending on the brand and cover both theory and practical work. Depending on the class, delegates need to have either level 3 or level 2 qualifications. Our two classes on The Power of Retailing and Skin Coaching run for half a day and are suitable for anyone of any level.
Our training aim is to ensure that every one of our business partners are happy, confident and well educated on the ranges they stock.
Wigmore Medical delivers a wide range of training courses to a varied audience of both medical and non-medical professionals. Our comprehensive and innovative training calendar—spanning skincare, injectables and equipment—encourages people from around the world to train with us and expand their professional knowledge.
While the majority of our clientele is UK and Ireland based, we continue to welcome delegates from other European and Middle Eastern countries. Although the internet and social media has a large part to play, word-of-mouth recommendations remain the most popular advertising tool.
We believe our delegates travel to us largely due to the way our training sessions are structured. Small classes with the opportunity to practice hands-on are led by our team of highly experienced Trainers who are fully familiar not only with the products and techniques, but also the business of Medical Aesthetics. Delegates often raise the question of how to successfully incorporate new treatments into their existing business, or how to go about starting up in the industry. Our learned Course Directors are able to offer their invaluable advice in an extremely competitive market.
Our main training facility is conveniently located in Central London, a stone’s throw from Harley Street, however we also run our ZO courses in Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow and Dublin. ZO training has proved so popular, we now host the London courses at the Royal Society of Medicine and at the Avanti Aesthetic Academy on Harley Street to accommodate delegate numbers and benefit from their state-of-the-art facilities.
Open seven days a week, our well-stocked London training facility is also regularly hired by fellow training companies and product manufacturers. We welcome any opportunity for practitioners to continue their professional development, explore the latest launches or begin to evolve their practice into the field of Medical Aesthetics.
