Training you to be the best

Are you thinking about a career in Aesthetics? Not sure where to start? Simply Skin Medical Aesthetics Academy provides training to medics and non-medics within the industry standards offering the highest quality accredited beauty, and aesthetics training developing students into professionals.
At Simply Skin Medical Aesthetics we strive to give our students the best training and education, in Aesthetics and Beauty.

If you are a beginner to Aesthetics, you will need to be covered under the practice/clinic/salon-place where you work, insurance policy until such a point where you’ve completed sufficient training for you to start injecting your own patients. This is because, as a beginner in facial injectables, you won’t be eligible for ‘specialist aesthetics’ insurance until you’ve carried out your basic training.

How much training you need to complete for ‘basic training’ can be a bit of a grey area. In practice, insurance companies will not insure you until you have completed 6 months of practice, so practically you can only get your professional insurance 6 months after completing your injectables course.

Once you’ve completed your training session (e.g. Foundation BOTOX® and Dermal Filler course), at this point you should arrange to have your aesthetics professional indemnity insurance in place before you start injecting, in your own aesthetics business.

The key point for when to have your insurance lined up is the point at which you’re ready to start treating patients. Ideally, once you’ve completed your training course you should aim to get injecting straight away in order to cement the knowledge of what you’ve learned on the course. Therefore, the best way to remember to get everything in place in time for your first BOTOX® patient is to book your insurance as soon as you finish your first training course. That way you can rest easy that you’ve done everything possible to protect yourself in the event of a complication or adverse reaction where a claim may be brought against you.

Once you progress to carrying out treatments yourself, whether you’re employed by a clinic or self-employed also makes a difference to your insurance requirements. If you work for yourself as an aesthetics practitioner, then you need your own insurance coverage for BOTOX® and dermal fillers. If you work for a clinic but are self-employed then you’ll again, need to ensure you have a policy in place (because the patient will bring the claim against you). If, however you work for a clinic and are employed by them then it’s the clinic as your employer who is responsible for putting in place adequate insurance cover for the aesthetics procedures being carried out.”

So, to ensure that you will be covered for the insurance I would suggest to take the following steps:

With no knowledge of the medical or beauty fields, this is the course for you. We place you onto our home pre-study program to complete your Anatomy and Physiology online which will gain you entry onto the course
