What you will learn

The Advanced Course focuses on key facial areas that require a deeper understanding of anatomy and injection technique.

The Advanced course places a strong emphasis on hands-on learning.

    "I feel well-prepared and welcomed into the medical aesthetics community."

    I feel like I made the right decision taking this course over the many injector courses available in Canada. This course is so thorough and informative, yet I didn’t feel overwhelmed or leave with even more questions. It has a strong focus on anatomy and safe injection techniques, which was my main concern as a learner, but it also covered many aspects that get overlooked in foundational courses including info on the business side of medical aesthetics. The hands-on portion of the course was also a great experience for me since the educators instructed us on how to provide tailored treatments on real people from different age groups. The educators are experts in their field and I so appreciate and the ongoing support that they give us. I feel well-prepared and welcomed into the medical aesthetics community. I’ve already recommended this course to friends interested in pursuing aesthetics and I would take any advanced aesthetics courses through FACE when they are available!

  • This felt like so much more than just a weekend course. It genuinely felt like a university-quality program.

    I recently completed the nurse aesthetic course at Face Academy and honestly cannot say enough good things about the experience. Natalie, Sarah, and Thomas were absolutely incredible instructors — professional, knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely passionate about teaching.

    The course content was laid out so thoughtfully and built on itself perfectly- from a thorough understanding of anatomy to safe injection practices and landmarking. They walked us through everything step by step and made sure we felt confident and educated throughout the entire weekend.

    What really stood out was the amount of hands-on experience we received. Each student had the opportunity to work with 7 of our own models, which made the learning experience so valuable and practical. The environment was comfortable, welcoming, and encouraging, which made such a difference while learning new skills.

    This felt like so much more than just a weekend course — it genuinely felt like a university-quality program. I left feeling inspired and supported knowing I have Natalie, Sarah and Thomas supporting me along my aesthetic journey! I highly recommend Face Academy to anyone considering aesthetic nursing training!
