Medskills Privacy Policy

Introduction:

Who we are:

Medical aesthetics has become the receptacle for all the modalities not normally covered in general medicine.

We are an independent training entity and we aim to offer medical professionals the best value for money with theoretical and practical training presented to small groups. We believe aesthetics is much more than fixing flaws; it enhances overall beauty with techniques, equipment, and medicine we have available.

To reach your patient’s ideal beauty goals, we teach you to focus on shape, proportion, focal points, and light reflections and create the aesthetic ideal.

We are a brand agnostic company training on most of the brands available in the aesthetic market.

Medical aesthetics is a fast-growing field and will soon play an integral part in general medicine and wellness.

We are affiliated with SAMA (South African Medical Association) and all our training courses are CPD (Continuing Professional Development) accredited.
