We are providers of botox courses, dermal filler courses, aesthetic courses and other cometic surgical courses.

About us

Dermis Deep Ltd was founded by doctors specialising in dermatology and plastic surgery. Their experience of attending cosmetic courses in the past has been disappointing with courses often run by practitioners who have no real background in aesthetic work. They were determined to introduce courses run by experienced practicing clinicians who can distill the essential theory behind an aesthetic treatment and impart their experience to the delegates.

Our courses have an emphasis on the practical sessions and it is expected that each delegate will be confident in performing these treatments safely by themselves after the course in their own practice. We have a bank of advisors including prominent plastic surgeons and healthcare regulators to ensure the highest standards are maintained during our courses. You can rest assured that you will be trained to the highest possible standard when attending one of our courses.
