3-Stage Mini
Mastery Programme

For those who aren’t ready to commit to the full mastery programme, we are now offering a 3-stage “mini-mastery” option.

As SkinViva Training’s most popular training day, our Foundation BOTOX® and Dermal Fillers Course provides its trainees with the best possible entry to the marketplace by learning how these two highly popular treatments work to rejuvenate the face holistically.

Unlike most basic training, this is a comprehensive introductory course, covering not only how to give effective injections, but all the skills and background knowledge you need to give your clients a comprehensive and professional service.


We cover everything from medico-legal aspects, consent, consultation skills, to managing and preventing rare side effects. You will leave us not only ready to inject, but also fully equipped to set up a business as a safe and competent aesthetic professional.

Outstanding Reviews

I needed guidance to start and grow my business in different ways & establish goals, & that’s exactly happened. She’s incredibly practical as well as being incredibly knowledgeable with no ‘smoke and mirrors!’ approach – so easy to follow the steps…just add your own hard work.

Fiona is a the ‘Fairy Godmother’ that every Aesthetics business is looking for. A solution for every problem and always happy to guide, support and engineer a way forward.

I almost felt sometimes that I was injecting blind. I haven’t dissected since medical school and this was the best way to brush up on my core knowledge.

A fantastic day. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to gain a greater insight into facial anatomy. ✨

I was really surprised at how real life looks completely different to textbook. It’s been a complete eye-opener.

I just wanted to say I had treatment as a model with a new doctor (for me) for cheeks yesterday. I was so impressed. I’ve never not been impressed by the doctors nor felt I couldn’t be in better hands, but she was excellent as a trainer, skilled in her craft and care of me. Superb!

I have had a few treatments as a model at SkinViva and each time the results are amazing! On every visit I am made very comfortable and welcomed. The Dr’s are always there to oversee everything the trainee’s are doing but they always do an amazing job! Thank you Amazing results
