Our Courses
With over 25 years experience, who better to teach than a clinician who has naturally progressed into facial aesthetics, understands the clinical and ethical issues and has an 'outstanding talent in teaching'.
"We will give you the knowledge and confidence needed to enter into field of facial aesthetics"
Why are we different to other courses? At Dr Brian Franks Facial Aesthetics Training Courses, we pride ourselves on the high level of training given. We believe that you can only impart enough information, especially at Foundation Level for professionals to understand these new treatments and leave our courses confident to inject. This is why our hands on training is very different to other courses, as we show you not only how to inject precisely (mark and measuring injection sites) but also how to assess the models, think about treatment planning and be guided step by step through the consultation process. Certificates are only awarded to delegates who have completed the course and shown competency. If we feel that you need further tuition, we will hold back your certificate and invite you back to our next course free of charge.
In May 2011 the following was ratified by the University of Central Lancashire: "Dr Brian Franks has joined the teaching team as an Honorary Lecturer at the University of Central Lancashire to help develop and take forward their MSc course in facial aesthetics. It is planned that Dr Brian Franks Facial Aesthetics Training Courses will be accredited with modular units towards this post-graduate qualification."
