Microneedling Course (Collagen Induction Therapy)

The definitive training programme for collagen induction therapy. Built for qualified skin specialists, this course gives you the anatomical knowledge, infection control protocols and clinical confidence needed to perform highly effective microneedling treatments safely.

We go deep on the wound-healing cascade, tissue remodelling and safe depth control, so you finish with a true clinical grasp of device-led skin rejuvenation, not a checklist.

Who can enrol

Because microneedling is an invasive, trauma-based treatment, we enforce strict entry requirements to protect both you and your future clients. To enrol you must hold one of the following:

• Level 3 Beauty Therapy (with a Basic Life Support certification and Anatomy and Physiology Level 3).
• Medical professional (Registered Nurse, Doctor, Dentist, or equivalent).
• SPMU artist with 12+ months of documented clinical experience.

If you are not there yet, our Ultimate Beginners pathway will get you eligible.

How the course is delivered

Blended learning. Extensive home study paired with one focused, supervised clinical day.

Part 1: Online theory (39 chapters)

• Clinical anatomy and physiology: a deep look at the dermal layers, the wound-healing cascade, and the biology of collagen and elastin.
• Health, safety and bloodborne pathogens: infection control, needlestick injury management, and legal sharps disposal.
• Technical knowledge: device mastery, exact needle-depth selection, correct cartridge usage, and safe serum infusion.
• Consultation and compliance: identifying absolute contraindications, local council licensing law, and ethical treatment planning.

Part 2: In-clinic practical day (10:00 AM to 3:30 PM)

• Phased practice: you start with device handling, depth adjustments, and the glide vs stamp technique on simulation skin, then execute a full supervised treatment on a live model.
• Clinical endpoints: you learn to identify safe endpoints such as uniform erythema, so you stop before unnecessary trauma or track-mark scarring.
• Sterile field management: we focus heavily on keeping the workspace sterile throughout the procedure.

What you walk away with

• CPD Group accredited certificate issued on the day you pass both elements.
• Insurable immediately with advanced aesthetic providers such as InSync and PolicyBee.
• Special Treatments licensing documentation ready to submit to your local council.
• Clear progression into superficial chemical peels and targeted mesotherapy.

Why the prerequisites are strict

Education creates safety. Microneedling intentionally breaches the skin's protective barrier and interacts with the reticular dermis and blood supply. Fast-tracking under-qualified students into invasive aesthetics leads to severe complications, secondary infections and permanent scarring. You need a real, existing grasp of anatomy and emergency life support before we can hand you the device.
