hi

i am thinking of taking a course in dermal fillers, (Wrinkle filling) and acid peels, (i am a qualified nurse) the course is a touch pricey and so i thought i would put the idea to you lot before committing myself anyone think there would be a market for this type of thing in the brisbane area, i was thinking of doing it on a mobile basis, any opinions much appreciated!

I suspose it's something you could do on your days off or spare time, bit of extra money always comes in handy

no longer in scotland

hi i am a qualified beauty therapist, this is a big thing in the uk and i reckon it will be just as big in aus, we are headed for brissy/ G C at the end of june, this would be something i would venture in but i dont have the advantage of being a nurse.

Nothing ventured !!!!!!!!!

I do non surgical face lifts which works the muscle and is really effective if you are doing a course make sure you get a really good qualification and lots of practice.

well i would certainly,i have been looking into this sort of treatment for quite a while now, i cant be doing with saggy bits and the wrinkles are starting to show after years of doing night shifts,so yes its a hit with me , good luck if you choose to do this and let me know where to look your number up,

hi beth i've already put a post on about this i'm moving to oz end of june and have been enquiring if the training over here in the uk is recognised in oz.......i've still to find the answer cause i'm not gonna pay for the course if i can't practice when i get out there.!!......i'd be doing the same as you working for myself doing botox and fillers. apparently in the uk 80% of people who give botox etc are nurses, and over in oz it's only 10% so it'll def be an up and coming thing.

if you find out if it's recognised over there could you let me know cause only have 10 weeks left here before i go!!i've e mailed loads of cosmetic surgeons and queensland health but no-one can give me a def answer!!
good luck!

bethandneil

wow thanks for the replys, sounds promising, think i may book myself onto a course

hi there

i have looked into botox but you need a doctor to prescribe the product on an individual client basis as it is a drug, also if you read all the botox info in oz i wouldnt be surprised if the government regulate so that its doctor administration only! for these reasons i am doing a dermal filler course and facial peel because both of these are nurse only treatments so no need for doctor involvement and easily done on a mobile basis,

where are you headed?

I've always fancied having bigger lips not a trout pout though like lesley ash would that be covered in this course you'll be doing?

no longer in scotland

hi all

a lot of salons here will rent you a room and you can get clients all in to the salon on the same day, i work in a salon that has a nurse coming in to do the treatments and she is really busy. might be better than being mobile, where are you all headed to any ways. I also leave in 10 weeks and will be liiving between Brisbane and Gold Coast not quite decided.

curly

yep I will be in that area too
