Scientific Foundation for Safe Dermal Filler Treatments
From professionals who have completed the foundation module.
“Botulinum toxin looks simple until a patient comes back with a result you did not intend. Understanding the muscle, the dose and the diffusion is what separates a predictable outcome from a lucky one.”
“Every injector should be able to recognise a vascular event and act on it within minutes. We teach the anatomy and the technique, but we also teach what to do on the worst day of your clinical career.”
“Regenerative treatments ask a different question than fillers do. Not what shape do I want today, but what tissue quality am I building over the next two years. Practitioners who make that shift get better long-term results and far fewer surprises.”
Dermal filler treatments involve complex interactions between injected materials and living tissue. Without a structured understanding of anatomy, product behavior, and complication mechanisms, the risk of adverse outcomes increases significantly. Understanding filler science allows practitioners to: Assess risk zones more accurately Select appropriate filler products Recognize early signs of complications Perform safer clinical evaluations Develop structured treatment plans This knowledge forms the essential foundation for responsible dermal filler practice.

Yes. This module qualifies you as a skin therapist upon successful completion.
No, we have adapted the course for both those who are experienced in skincare treatments and those who have no experience.
Yes. Upgrade is available after passing the online theory.
Upon completion, you receive certification from Nordic Aesthetics Academy confirming your theoretical and/or supervised practical training.
However, it is your personal responsibility to ensure that your educational background and professional status allow you to legally perform specific treatments in your country of practice. Regulations vary between jurisdictions.
For hands-on training, participants must provide valid documentation confirming that their background permits them to perform the relevant treatments in the country where the training takes place. NAA ensures compliance during official training days but cannot assume responsibility for how treatments are performed after completion in your home country.
If you are unsure about your eligibility, we are happy to guide you via email at info@na.academy.se before enrolment.
Online theory may be purchased by anyone interested in the knowledge itself, regardless of professional background.
Upon successful completion of the full module (including hands-on), you qualify as a certified Skin Therapist through Nordic Aesthetics Academy.
Healthcare professionals who complete the module add structured dermatological competence to their existing license.
Nordic Aesthetics Academy operates as a private educational institution. In some jurisdictions where formal state approval is required for training activities, NAA complies with applicable regulations.
For this specific module, formal state licensure is generally not required in most countries. The diploma certifies completion of structured theoretical and supervised clinical training but does not replace national licensing requirements.
Participants remain responsible for complying with local regulatory frameworks.
Each included course contains multiple-choice assessments.
If you do not pass on the first attempt, you may retake the test.
The questions vary between attempts, but the required knowledge standard remains the same. The purpose is mastery — not gatekeeping.
The structure ensures that you genuinely understand the material before progressing to hands-on training.
Hands-on training consists of five full practical days (approximately 6–7 hours per day).
Each day focuses on one treatment theme and includes:
Training takes place in carefully selected clinical facilities and is designed to maximize individual attention and quality of learning.
Professional follow-up is provided after training.
You may upgrade at any time after completing and passing the online theory.
If purchased separately, hands-on training costs 15 000 kr. When purchased together with the module initially, hands-on is included for 10 000 kr.
Upgrades can be arranged directly via the website or by contacting info@na.academy.se.
