Take your skin knowledge and treatment results to the next level with my Advanced Clinical Skin Needling Certification.
This advanced training has been designed for therapists who want to move beyond basic facial treatments and confidently offer results-driven skin rejuvenation using modern collagen induction therapy.
Clinical skin needling is far more than simply creating micro-channels in the skin. When performed correctly, it is a powerful regenerative skin treatment designed to stimulate the skin’s natural wound healing response, encourage collagen production, improve skin texture, support scar remodelling and enhance overall skin quality.
This course teaches you not only how to perform skin needling safely, but how to understand the skin response behind the treatment — including wound healing, inflammation, fibroblast stimulation, barrier function and long-term treatment planning.

Why Train With Me?
I am an award-winning clinical skin specialist and educator with over 20 years of industry experience and skin needling is a core part of my active clinic practice.
I specialise in acne scarring, skin ageing, skin rejuvenation and barrier repair. These are results that require more than device knowledge. They require clinical judgment and that is exactly what I teach.
You are not learning from someone who only teaches treatments. You are learning from someone who works with skin every day in real clinic practice.
What you’ll achieve with me:
- I will teach you how to perform safe and professional skin needling treatments.
- You will understand the devices, protocols and physiological effects on the skin including wound healing, fibroblast stimulation and collagen induction.
- You will practise on live models under my direct supervision.
- You will leave with a CPD-accredited certificate and the skills to treat confidently and charge accordingly.
- You will receive expert guidance on devices, needle depth selection and product protocols for your clinic.

A Barrier-First Approach to Skin Needling
This Is Not Just Microneedling Training
Clinical skin needling is an advanced regenerative skin treatment that creates controlled micro-injuries within the skin using sterile needles.
One of the biggest mistakes within advanced skin treatments is over-treatment. Many clients now present with sensitised, barrier-impaired skin often caused by aggressive treatments or poorly planned protocols. Within this course, you will learn when the skin needs stimulation and when it needs repair. This level of clinical thinking is what separates advanced skin specialists from standard treatment providers.
These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural repair response and may help improve:
- Acne scarring
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin texture
- Enlarged pores
- Stretch marks
- Skin laxity
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Overall skin quality
- Collagen and elastin production
Within this certification you will learn to safely customise treatments based on:
- Skin type and Fitzpatrick classification
- Skin condition and barrier function
- Inflammation levels and healing response
- Active contraindications
- Needle depth and treatment goals
- Treatment frequency and planning
Because advanced skin results should never come from aggressive over-treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Advanced Clinical Skin Needling Certification is a full-day, 1-2-1 training where you will combine online pre-study with hands-on clinic practice. On training day, you will work through advanced skin physiology, wound healing science, consultation and skin analysis, needle depth theory, and hands-on skin needling on a live model. You will leave with the clinical knowledge, practical skill and CPD accreditation to offer skin needling at a genuinely advanced level, straight away.
Yes. To join this certification, you will need:
- Level 2 Beauty Therapy or equivalent
- A foundation facials qualification
- At least 6 months of industry experience
If you are not sure about your eligibility, get in touch and I will confirm for you.
If you do not yet have the right foundation qualifications, my Foundation Facial Course and Level 3 A&P are the right starting point.
Skin needling also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, uses sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries within the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the skin’s natural wound healing response, stimulating fibroblast activity, collagen and elastin production and regenerative skin remodelling over time. It is one of the most effective advanced skin treatments available when performed with the right clinical knowledge and approach.
- Acne scarring and scar remodelling
- Anti-ageing treatments
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Improving skin texture

- Stretch marks
- Hair loss therapy

Yes. After training, you will complete a supervised series of case studies and an online assessment, both assessed personally by me with individual feedback. These help you refine your technique and build clinical confidence before working with paying clients.
Yes, when performed correctly. The treatment uses sterile needles in a controlled, professional setting. I will teach you the consultation skills, contraindication awareness, inflammation management and aftercare protocols that make clinical skin needling safe, effective and appropriate for each individual client.
Most therapists delivering clinical skin needling charge between £150-£350 per treatment, depending on device, treatment area and location. Courses of treatment, which clients working on acne scarring or skin ageing typically require, significantly increase per-client revenue. I will give you guidance on pricing, treatment planning and how to position yourself in your market.
