Non-Medic Foundation Dermal Fillers

Our Non-medic Foundation Dermal Filler courses are taught by our Advanced Medical Professionals and have been structured from start to finish with you in mind. The foundation dermal filler courses are designed to give you the confidence and skills to perform basic Dermal Filler procedures.

Our training courses cover the anatomy and physiology of the skin to ensure you have the basic knowledge of human-related mechanisms. This enables you to gain a better understanding and build on your existing knowledge of beauty treatments.

What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid, which is injected into the face to fill a specific area. They may be used due to sunken skin or to reduce other skin concerns. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar molecule in the body.

Why choose a filler course for non-medics?
A non-medic filler course opens the door to many opportunities. The dermal filler and lip filler courses for non-medics are suitable for those who have a beauty NVQ, 6 months of experience in a skin-invasive beauty treatment or an injectables qualification. Our beauty practitioners are here to help you build on what you already know to gain new skills and certifications.

At TABA, we don’t just support you in the classroom, we provide you with support after the aesthetic course too. Our filler courses allow you to work from within a beauty clinic or through your own business. The filler course content covers everything you need to know to embark on your exciting new career! The market for dermal fillers is growing, making it a great career opportunity for you.

You will gain practical experience both in the classroom and working on live models. Check out our other aesthetic courses.
