CIBTAC Level 4 Award in Microneedling – Course Content

The CIBTAC Level 4 Award in Microneedling has been designed for therapists already trained in skincare or facials who are looking to progress into advanced skin treatments. Microneedling is a highly in-demand treatment within the aesthetics industry, allowing practitioners to deliver professional skin rejuvenation results with minimal downtime.

This treatment works by creating controlled micro-injuries within the skin, stimulating the natural wound healing response and encouraging collagen and elastin production. The result is firmer, smoother, and more refined skin, with ongoing improvements when performed as part of a treatment programme.

Microneedling is widely used to target a range of skin concerns, making it a highly sought-after treatment for clients seeking effective, non-invasive skin rejuvenation.
