Skin Boosters Course

Skin Boosters Course

The Skin Boosters Course teaches qualified beauty, semi-permanent makeup and medical professionals how to assess clients and perform injectable skin booster treatments using the BAP five-point technique.

The programme combines online theory with half-day practical academy training in Glasgow or Aberdeen.

You will learn about different skin booster products, relevant facial anatomy, client consultation, treatment mapping, injection safety, contraindications and aftercare.

After successful completion, you will receive a Skin Boosters Diploma. Professional treatment work remains subject to meeting the required qualification and insurance conditions.

What Are Skin Boosters?

Skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to support skin hydration and improve the visible appearance of skin quality.

They differ from traditional dermal fillers because the treatment focuses on the condition and hydration of the skin rather than adding significant volume or reshaping facial features.

Skin boosters may be considered for suitable clients concerned about:

• Dry or dehydrated-looking skin
• Dull-looking skin
• Fine lines
• Uneven skin texture
• Reduced-looking skin firmness

Results vary according to the client, product used, treatment plan and aftercare.

The course provides an overview of different skin booster products available for professional use.

You will learn how products may differ in their:

• Ingredients

You must follow the manufacturer’s instructions and professional requirements for the exact product being used.

BAP Five-Point Injection Technique
