Unit Aim

⮚ This unit is based on the NOS for performing rejuvenation and/or regeneration of the skin through the combination of radio frequency techniques with micro-needling for aesthetic purposes to improve the body and facial skin condition.

⮚ This unit is for advanced beauty therapists and aesthetic practitioners. It stresses the need for safe working practices and controlling hazards. Emphasis is placed on the importance of a thorough client consultation to identify the skin conditions to be treated.

⮚ Aesthetic practitioners will formulate an individual procedure plan, provide procedure and aftercare advice, and do a post-procedure evaluation and reflection for continuous improvement.

⮚ The aesthetic practitioner must have a Basic Life Support and Anaphylaxis Management or a First Aid at Work qualification or equivalent and be able to carry out the functions within SFHCHS36: Basic life support and have access to life support equipment as identified in the complication management plan.

⮚ To achieve this unit Aesthetic practitioners will need to ensure that their practices reflect up-to-date information, policies, procedures and best practice guidance.
