Abstract
Botox is becoming increasingly popular and rightly so. These simple procedures offer a cost-effective solution to anyone who wants lines made smoother or lip and cheek areas to be fuller.

New techniques are being developed all the time, expanding the range of treatments clinicians can add to their treatment portfolio.

Ever increasing in popularity among both men and women, Botox® is now well known around the globe for helping people to look the way they would like to, for longer. For the limited number of professions who are able to administer such treatments, training with Tim Eldridge could be the perfect first step to adding facial aesthetics to your practice. The beginner's course covers areas such as the glabella, frown lines and crow's feet.

Continue to expand the services that you provide with the addition of dermal fillers. This simple procedure can help to smooth out fine lines as well as add body and definition to a number of facial areas. The beginner's course covers areas such as the lips, nasolabial folds, glabella and general facial folds

This two-day programme in Botox® and Dermal fillers will equip the delegate with the necessary training to practice confidently in these new techniques.
