Are You Truly Prepared for a Complication?

The truth is, 60–70% of aesthetics practitioners in the UK are working without advanced, in-depth training in complications management. That’s not just worrying—it’s unacceptable.

If you’ve ever felt a flicker of doubt during or after a treatment… if you’ve hesitated, second-guessed yourself, or hoped a reaction would “just settle”… you’re not alone. But in this industry, where the stakes are high and client safety is everything, hope isn’t a strategy.

Confidence comes from preparation. And preparation starts with proper training.

That’s why we created our Comprehensive Complications Management Course—born out of real demand from our members who wanted more than just support. They wanted knowledge. Mastery. Peace of mind.

This course is designed to give you exactly that.

 

What You’ll Learn:

• The full spectrum of complications linked to dermal fillers and botulinum toxin
• How to spot issues early and respond fast, with confidence
• UK-specific guidance from the ACE Group and the British National Formulary

1. Medical emergency training and protocols
2. Yellow card reporting service

• Exclusive clinical insights normally reserved for medics
• Ready-to-use visual protocols and flowcharts for your treatment room

This isn’t just about boosting your skills—it’s about protecting your clients, your business, and your reputation.

Every injector, whether new or experienced, should be able to handle complications safely and swiftly. It’s not a luxury—it’s a professional obligation.
