Introduction to Becoming a Qualified Skin Specialist
The beauty/skin & aesthetics industry has seen a significant rise in demand for advanced skin care professionals. As the industry evolves, so does the need for higher qualifications. Previously the beauty industry had very lax regulation and you could start your business with just CPD accreditation. However, insurance companies, professional skin care brands and professional equipment providers are now looking for qualifications like VTCT & Focus Awards as these are a set standard that require assignments/ exams at a very minimum of Level 2 and in most cases Level 3.
The Level 4 Qualified Skin Specialist pathway is a critical step for those who wish to enter the beauty/skin & aesthetics industry or those wo wishes to establish themselves as experts in the skin treatment industry. This pathway sets professionals apart, providing them with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform high-end lifechanging treatments safely and effectively.
