This Level 4 qualification in Advanced Epilation Techniques, or better known today as Advanced Cosmetic Procedures or non-surgical blemish removal will provide the learner with the knowledge and skill to carry out a non-invasive method for treating various skin blemishes, conditions, & growths using a technique called Thermocoagulation.

The demand for these procedures is very high especially now as the medical profession is not only too busy but also very reluctant to do anything about benign lesions. They are seen purely as a cosmetic problem regardless of the psychological effect on the person having the unsightly marks, lumps, and bumps on their skin. Many skin blemishes can be effectively and safely removed by Advanced Thermolysis, such as, red veins, skin tags, blood spots, milia, seborrheic keratosis, common warts, sebaceous hyperplasia and dermatosis papulose nigra. Clients will be delighted with the results and will be surprised how easily and quickly their unsightly skin blemishes can be removed, which may have affected their confidence and well-being.

Advanced Cosmetic Procedures have a high earning potential dependent on the time taken and treatment offered. Pricing usually starts at minimum of £90 to £180 for 15 minutes or per anomalie. 

This course is taught by our principal and head of department Geraldine McGuigan. Geraldine has over 38 years of experience in advanced cosmetic procedures (minor surgical skin blemish removal) and will ensure your competence in this skilful and satisfying procedure.
