SHBBHRS013
Electrolysis — Permanent Hair Reduction
I had been a beauty therapist for eleven years and always assumed electrolysis was out of reach — too technical, too niche. Kelly completely changed that. Within four months of qualifying I had a full electrolysis diary and had to start a waitlist. The income from this one service has transformed my business.
As a nurse I was nervous about moving into the beauty education world. Kelly's Stream 3 pathway built on everything I already knew — anatomy, infection control, patient care — rather than ignoring it. The small class size meant I got real hands-on time. I now offer electrolysis for gender-affirming care and the demand is extraordinary.
I had zero beauty qualifications when I enquired. I expected to be turned away. Instead Kelly took the time to walk me through the full pathway and what each step would involve. I graduated fourteen months later and opened my own electrolysis practice. Having a maximum of six students in our practical sessions meant I actually felt confident before I treated my first real client.
I had clients coming to me with PCOS and asking about permanent hair removal. Laser wasn't the answer for them. I completed SHBBHRS013 through Dermaskin Academy and it was the most clinically rigorous training I have done in twenty years of practice. Kelly doesn't cut corners. The depth of knowledge she teaches is something you simply cannot find in a two-day workshop.
I recently completed the electrolysis course with Dermaskin Training, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Kelly's expertise and guidance throughout the course were invaluable. Her passion for the industry and dedication to her students truly shines through. I feel confident in my skills and excited to start offering electrolysis treatments to my clients.
As a GP I was sceptical about whether a beauty qualification would hold up clinically. Kelly's teaching is evidence-based, anatomically precise and immediately applicable. The infection control and skin science content was at a level I respect. I refer clients to electrolysis with confidence now — and I can do it myself.
I left a corporate career at 42 to retrain in beauty. Dermaskin was the only provider that took me seriously from the very first enquiry. Kelly was honest about the commitment required, thorough in her teaching, and available when I had questions during my logbook hours. I now run a solo electrolysis practice from home and I'm booked six weeks in advance.
I flew from Perth to complete the practical component and it was absolutely worth it. The online theory was well-structured and self-paced, which worked perfectly around my existing salon. Kelly's face-to-face teaching style is calm, precise and incredibly reassuring. I left feeling genuinely ready to treat clients — not just technically qualified.
SHBBSKT010
Skin Needling
I recently completed the skin needling course with Dermaskin Training, and I am thrilled with the results. Kelly's knowledge and expertise in this area are unmatched. The course content was comprehensive, and the practical sessions were extremely helpful in building my confidence. I feel fully prepared to offer skin needling treatments to my clients.
The skin needling course gave me the confidence I was missing. I had done a short course elsewhere and always felt unsure. Kelly's teaching covered the why behind every step — depths, speeds, needle selection, client contraindications. My clients are seeing results I couldn't achieve before and my treatment pricing has increased significantly.
I needed a nationally accredited skin needling qualification for my insurance. Kelly's course was the only one I found that genuinely met that requirement AND delivered real clinical training. Insurers accepted it immediately. More importantly, I actually know what I'm doing — which I couldn't say after my previous non-accredited course.
Diathermy, Microdermabrasion & Short Courses
Advanced Treatments
I cannot recommend Dermaskin Training enough! I enrolled in the chemical peels course, and it was one of the best decisions I've made for my career. Kelly's teaching style is engaging and informative, making complex concepts easy to understand. I finished feeling confident in my ability to perform chemical peel treatments safely and effectively.
Dermaskin's microdermabrasion course exceeded my expectations. Not only did I learn the theory behind the treatment, but I also gained practical skills that I can apply in my practice. The hands-on training was incredibly beneficial, and Kelly's attention to detail ensured that I understood every step of the process. I highly recommend Dermaskin Training.
The diathermy course is exceptional. Kelly covers vascular work, skin tags, milia and sebaceous hyperplasia with a level of clinical detail I haven't found anywhere else. I added diathermy to my existing menu the week after I qualified and immediately had clients booking. This is a treatment that sells itself when you're properly trained to deliver it.
