The promise. Thirty minutes. The consultation framework underneath every defensible skin plan, yours to keep, whether or not you ever take the full programme.
Free, 30-minute taster of the full Skin Specialist Programme. Four short lessons that reframe skin consultations from a tick-box exercise into the structured clinical conversation that decides whether a plan holds. The Skin Specialist consultation is the foundation underneath every condition module in the full course, and the most differentiating skill a practitioner can develop. NICE-aligned. Honest. Yours to keep.

The transformation
Before the course→ after the course.
- TransformationBefore the course
Skin consultations as a tick-box exercise before the treatment.
After the courseThe structured clinical conversation that decides whether the plan holds, and gives you the paper trail to defend it.
- TransformationBefore the course
Plans that look great on paper and fall apart by week six.
After the courseA consultation that surfaces the real driver, so the plan you write is the plan that holds.
“If you cannot justify it on paper, you cannot defend it in practice, and the consultation is where the paper trail starts.”

Frequently asked
Before youenrol.
Is this really free?
Yes. Four lessons, fully free. No credit card. The consultation framework is yours to keep, whether or not you ever take the paid programme.
Will it sell me on the paid course?
Lesson 4 is a clear pointer to the full Skin Specialist Programme if you want to keep going, but no pressure. Many practitioners take the Mini, integrate the consultation framework, and never enrol in the paid programme.
How is this different from the Acne or Rosacea Mini?
The Acne and Rosacea Minis are condition-specific tasters. The Skin Specialist Mini is the consultation framework that sits underneath every condition, applicable whether you treat acne, rosacea, pigmentation, or anything else. Take all three if it helps; they don't repeat.
“The best aesthetic work is the kind no one notices. People should just think you look well.”
