Starting your aesthetics training can be equal parts exciting and nerve-wracking. Whether you’re a nurse, prescriber, or doctor entering the field of injectables for the first time, the unknowns of your first training day can create hesitation. That’s why at Ascencia Aesthetics Academy, we focus on creating a medically robust, supportive, and structured learning environment—right from day one.
Here’s what to expect during your first practical training day at our Warrington academy, from the moment you arrive to the final needle placement.
A Structured Start: Orientation & Clinical Overview
Every session begins with a warm welcome and a comprehensive briefing. You’ll be introduced to the clinical educator—often Dr. Joseph Novoa Libermann—along with your training cohort (typically no more than 3–6 delegates per session). This allows us to maintain an optimal learning environment where each delegate receives significant hands-on time.
Orientation covers:
- Course objectives and outcomes
- Legal and ethical frameworks in UK aesthetic practice
- An overview of facial anatomy with practical injection zones
- Discussion of product selection and handling
Our first priority is clinical safety and ensuring that you understand not just how to perform aesthetic injections, but why each approach is used.
Learning Through Observation & Demonstration
Before you pick up a syringe, you’ll watch a live demonstration. This is more than just watching a treatment—it’s an opportunity to:
- Observe facial mapping and patient consultation techniques
- See neurotoxin and dermal filler placement strategies in real time
- Ask questions as procedures are performed
- Learn complication prevention protocols first-hand
Every procedure demonstrated is performed on live models, not mannequins—ensuring that the training experience reflects real-world practice.
Your Turn: Hands-On Training with Live Models
The heart of your training day is the supervised practical session, where you’ll inject live patients under the close guidance of your medical trainer. Each delegate treats their own model or shares one model between two learners—depending on course size.
You’ll learn to:
- Apply facial anatomy knowledge in real-time
- Perform safe and effective neurotoxin and filler injections
- Use cannula or needle techniques depending on the course focus
- Manage patient comfort and post-treatment protocols
Unlike some larger academies, we don’t rush you through a tick-box exercise. You’ll inject with confidence, safety, and full support, backed by live feedback from your instructor.
Post-Treatment Debrief & Business Support
The final stage of the day involves:
- Reviewing results and treatment plans
- Discussing complications, consent forms, and follow-up advice
- Exploring strategies for clinic growth, pricing models, and marketing
- Outlining post-course support and access to mentorship programmes
You leave not only with newly developed skills but also with a clear pathway to implement what you’ve learned—clinically and commercially.
