On July 1, 2023, AHPRA has made strict stipulations about where cosmetic procedures should take place, and this also applies to our training facility. Each premise should have a "fit-for-purpose" structure, with safety and procedure readiness at the heart of the requirements. Our training facility and our lecture theatre are located in an Accredited dental practice. Our trainers are all AHPRA registered. This is important to keep you and your patients safe and compliant.
We will source a model for you. You may treat multiple models depending upon model requirements.
We recommend models that are aged between 25-65, with mild to moderate changes in their skin. You may bring a model with you by letting us know when you enrol.
Advanced PrivateTraining: Models
Focused Skill Development: The delegate can concentrate on mastering specific techniques or procedures, which is particularly valuable for honing advanced injection skills. We will source at least 2-3 models for you to treat.
Accelerated Learning: The intensive and focused nature of private training can lead to accelerated learning, enabling delegates to gain expertise more quickly.
On registering for any of our injecting courses, you will be given instant access to the Online learning component of your course. You will be asked to fill in some registration details and to acknowledge our code of conduct so that you have a great learning experience. Once you have access, work your way through the e-learning material. We require successful completion of the pre-practical e-learning material before you treat patients. This ensures that you understand the procedures, pharmacology, anatomy, techniques, as well as complications and risk factors.

What is included in Pro-membership?
Our Pro-Membership is loaded with extras. You can read all the inclusions in detail by clicking the button below.
We have split the face into thirds. Our injecting courses are designed to completely cover the area you have chosen to study in full detail. This means that if you choose the Cheek course, it will cover all the dermal filler and Botulinum applications for the middle third. Similarly, the Chin and Jawline course will cover all the lower third, and so on.
When you would like to cover a particular area of the face, but not sure which course to study, our course finder will help. Simply click on the area of the face you would like to study, and our course guide will assist you in determining the courses that will cover the area of the face you are interested in.
We will set up a short subscription for your course. Every 2 weeks, we will deduct a quarter of the course fee from your credit card. With the final payment, the entire online learning modules will be released to you and now be yours. In addition, you will then gain access to the Aesthetics Chatroom and members benefits.
The payment plan will be interest free* over 8 weeks in length. This is similar to LayBuy.
*Dermal Distinction Academy do not charge you interest and is independent from you credit card provider.

We also encourage you to join our Aesthetics Chatroom where you can ask questions, post cases and also read about the latest developments in aesthetic medicine and dentistry.
The main thing to remember: You are not alone after the course. We want you to succeed, and to do that, you need support!
Why do I need dermal filler experience before you will teach me some areas?
Complications vary in severity from mild, to severe and non-reversible. Dermal filler application in some areas of the face can lead to blindness and/or stroke. We want great outcomes for you and your patients. Before teaching advanced areas such as the nasolabial fold, the nose, forehead and tear trough, we need to ensure that you have experience with a needle and cannula, anatomy and also reversal agents. See the image to the right from the most recent data in 2024 showing the areas associated with visual disturbance. We leave these advanced areas until later in your training pathway.
We love travelling to New Zealand and can offer our training on demand. Here are the steps: 1. Pick a date that suits you. Fill in the form below to book the date 2. We will use your clinic as our training base. 3. We require a minimum of 4 practitioners to undertake the same training course. 4. Organise a patient per practitioner. We will undertake screening and begin the consenting process for you. We will do the rest.
Thank you for contacting us. We will contact you shortly.×
