This Ofqual-recognised qualification builds on your Level 4 and prepares you to manage a wider range of blemishes safely, with the documentation and standards employers and insurers expect.
Advance your blemish-removal practice beyond the basics. You’ll deepen your knowledge of lesion pathology, consultation and referral, and learn to perform advanced electrolysis/thermolysis and related modalities for complex benign lesions under supervision. Portfolio evidence showcases safe technique, hygiene and outcome management.
Our learners receive full aftercare support following completion, including business start-up guidance, product recommendations, insurance advice and access to trusted suppliers — helping you launch or expand your aesthetics career with confidence.
Scope of practice varies by insurer and local licensing. Suspicious lesions must be referred to a medical professional.
