Risvana Raees

"I really enjoyed the foundation Botox and filler training course by Derma institute. The team members were very professional and informative. Dr Ziad’s teaching technique is excellent, leaving delegates very confident to start treating the following day. We were trained in small groups, and there was plenty of hands-on experience which allowed us to practice different techniques on live models."

Emma Fosuhene

"Great course that gives you confidence to practice independently. Also allows you to have support after the course with the same Doctors to be able to follow your progress. You are made to feel part of a team and not a client from the very beginning."
