I WON’T BLOW SMOKE UP YOUR ARSE…
But some “training academies” definitely will.
🚨 Avoid these red flags like herpes on a lip filler needle:
Hotel training rooms with disco lighting and 2 million ring lights – If you need a ring light just to see what you’re injecting, you’re not training, you’re filming a TikTok fail in real time.
1 slide on complications – Because apparently, managing a vascular occlusion is less important than learning which emoji to use on your Instagram post.
“You’ll all pass” vibes – If everyone passes, it’s not training. It’s a sales funnel with Botox on the side. What you’re getting is a paper certificate and a false sense of confidence. Good luck with that in court.
Sharing models or injecting each other – Practising on your mate’s face in between Deliveroo orders isn’t hands-on training. It’s a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Trainers who blow smoke up your arsenal – “You’re amazing! Natural injector! Born for aesthetics!” Translation: Please don’t ask for a refund.
The Prestigious HARLEY STREET ADDRESS – Ah yes, Harley Street… where anyone with a pulse and a card machine can rent a room. It’s not prestige. It’s postcode theatre. You’re not being trained by Harley Street, you’re just inside it. Big difference.
Here’s the TRUTH: Proper training should leave you a bit scared. It should challenge you, expose your weaknesses, make you question things.
Because that’s how you grow. Not by being love-bombed into mediocrity.
If your “academy” is more interested in turning you into a testimonial video than a competent injector, run. RUN.
You want to learn the art and safety of facial aesthetics? Then start by avoiding the glittery, certificate-peddling clown colleges.
💥 Ask yourself: Are you being trained to inject—or to believe you can inject?
