Become an Expert at Botox and Dermal Fillers - Group Mentorship Day for £250.00!

So now you've completed your basic dermal filler and Botox training course and you're ready to go out there and start offering treatments to clients. But it's hard when all of a sudden you don't feel quite so confident as when you were on the course, and a day is not that long to master the art, especially of injecting a dermal filler which doesn't really feel like anything you've come across in the NHS before!
Well fortunately help is at hand. Amanda Pierce Aesthetics is offering a full days group mentorship where you can observe Amanda in practice, bring along your own models, and spend the day injecting under close supervision of Amanda who will guide you, support and advise you. Amanda will offer tips and practical advise that is invaluable after the basic training that will leave you feeling much more confident to pursue your aesthetic speciality.
The whole day scheduled on Friday 16th March 2012 is offered at £250.00 for a full day and is likely to book up fast as this is an offer price as the normal mentorship days are £250.00 for half a day.
Give us a call on 01706 229931 to book your place now.

Finding The Right Botox Training Course

www.amandapierce.co.uk

So you've made that decision to do the training to give Botox. So what now? How do you choose which course? There's a lot of courses out there. The answer is to do your research. Ask around, word of mouth is definitely the best guide. I will give you my recommendations at the end of this blog. Look at their website. Do they have any customer testimonials? How much are they charging? (Too cheap is probably worse than too expensive). You will soon get an idea of what the going rate is. Basic Botox training for one day is approximately £600.00. Look at what they are offering and make sure there is a good practical session in the afternoon with plenty of opportunity to practice on models. Find out if you have to bring a model with you or if they supply the models. Where is the course? Have you got to travel to London and pay for overnight accommodation? Do the training company travel up and down the country so that you can find a venue near to you? Do they have tutor profiles? If so, do the tutors sound as if they have plenty of experience?
Most nurses who train to give Botox also train to give dermal fillers. You will find yourself disadvantaged if you can only give Botox and not dermal fillers as the two go hand in hand. You need to budget for doing both courses. Some companies offer a discount if you book for two courses at the same time. Again you need to ensure the training course allows plenty of practical sessions, in fact even more so for dermal fillers as the technique to administer a dermal filler is difficult to master at first.
Beware of weekend courses offering multi-training (botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels, lip enhancements and dental blocks). They do exist and although you will eventually want to learn all these skills, doing it all in one weekend will over face you and you will come away confused and proficient in nothing. You cannot possibly learn all the practical skills in one weekend. You need to be confident in the art of giving a dermal filler into the naso-labial folds before you are proficient enough to give it into the lips. Lips are hard at times for the best of us and you really need to know what you are doing, how a dermal filler reacts under the skin, how to mould it and how to anticipate what a dermal filler will look like in different people's faces. Lips are definitely not the place to be learning these skills!
Once you have done your training you will need some support and ideally mentorship (I offer mentorship for anyone near enough, see www.amandapierce.co.uk). Friends and family can make good models for you to acquire your new found skills on! They get the treatment at cost (a big saving) and you gain some confidence and all important experience. I will be doing some future blogs on specific clinical skills and am happy to answer any questions you have.
If you are not an independent prescriber, do not be put off. There are ways around this and I will talk about what to do in a later blog.
OK, so you have done your training. So how do you start to get some clients? Read my next blog and I will give you some valuable tips....!

Nurses - Break into Botox!

www.amandapierce.co.uk

Hi

I am writing this blog for any nurse out there who:

• Wants to change their career
• Is interested in the world of beauty and anti-ageing
• Would like to run their own business
• Would like the potential to leave their current job and make enough money doing something they love
• Is keen to learn new skills
• Understands the importance of excellent communication skills

Does that sound like you? Are you looking for a change? Would you like to learn how to gain the skills to give botox and run your own aesthetic business?

The world of aesthetic medicine is an exciting place to be. It's also highly competitive. But don't let that put you off! It's a vastly growing market despite the credit crunch and it needs highly trained qualified nurses to deliver excellent care always aimed at what the client wants. That's part of it, but to succeed in this world you have to acquire the business skills to build your own little empire with a database of loyal happy clients that choose you over the all the other companies offering botox. Sadly that's where most nurses fail and that's a shame when they would probably make excellent practitioners if only they knew how to build and run a business.

My name is Amanda Pierce and I run a successful business in Rossendale, Lancashire called 'Amanda Pierce Aesthetics' (see www.amandapierce.co.uk). I have a clinic in Rawtenstall and I also visit local salons and spas to deliver services. I am a qualified Nurse Practitioner and Independent Prescriber and left a successful career as a manager in the NHS 2 years ago to pursue my dream. It was the best decision I ever made and I am writing this blog to share my experience with you and teach you how you can make that change too.

Read my next entry where I will tell you in more detail my first steps and how you can do the same too.
