Main Description

The Gold Standard of Physical Exfoliation

Dermaplaning has quickly become one of the most requested facial treatments in the UK and beyond. By using a specialized surgical blade to gently “shave” the skin’s surface, you provide clients with immediate results: smoother texture, brighter tone, and the perfect canvas for makeup application.

This Level 3 Award doesn’t just teach you the “how”—it teaches you the clinical precision required to perform this treatment safely. You will gain a deep understanding of skin histology and the confidence to handle professional tools with expert care.

More course details

Is this course for me?

Who Is This For?

This course is perfect for qualified beauty therapists looking to upskill, makeup artists wanting to offer skin prep services, or aesthetic practitioners building a foundation for advanced skin resurfacing treatments.

Give your clients the glow they’ve been searching for. Secure your place in our next intake and master the art of the blade.

What will I learn on this course?

What You Will Learn

Our curriculum is designed to transform you into a confident, skilled practitioner:

Skin Science: Anatomy and physiology focusing on the epidermis and hair growth cycles.

Health & Safety: Extensive training on sharps disposal, blade attachment, and infection control.
The Procedure: Mapping the face, skin tensioning techniques, and optimal blade angles for safety and efficacy.
Contraindications: Identifying who is (and isn’t) a candidate for the treatment (e.g., active acne vs. sensitive skin).
Advanced Product Pairing: How to combine dermaplaning with enzyme peels or LED therapy for enhanced results.

Is this the best route to take?

This is the fastest and most direct path to your new career. Instead of spending years learning general beauty (like nails or makeup), this course focuses only on the essential science you need to move straight into advanced aesthetic treatments.

Where can this course take me?

Where Can This Course Take Me?

A Level 3 Award in Dermaplaning is a powerful door-opener in the beauty and aesthetics industry. Upon completion, you can:

Become a Senior Skin Specialist: Command higher rates in high-end salons and medical spas.
Launch a Freelance Business: Dermaplaning requires minimal equipment, making it the perfect “mobile” or home-based service.
Pathway to Level 4: This qualification serves as a vital stepping stone for those wishing to progress into advanced aesthetics, such as Chemical Peels, Microneedling, or Mesotherapy.
Increase Revenue: With low consumable costs and high client demand, dermaplaning offers one of the best profit margins in the industry.

Do I need previous experience to take this course?

No. This course is specifically designed for “career changers.” Whether you come from a retail, corporate, or healthcare background, we provide all the foundational knowledge you need. It is the perfect starting point for those with zero experience in the beauty industry.

Why can't I just go straight to a Level 4 or Level 7 course?

To perform advanced treatments safely and get insurance coverage, you must understand the “Science of the Skin.” Most Level 4 courses (like Lasers or Microneedling) require a Level 3 foundation in Anatomy and Electrical Science as a prerequisite. This course ensures you have the legal and clinical “keys” to progress.

How long does this course take to complete?

Because this is a “Fast-Track” bridge, we focus on high-impact learning. The duration typically ranges from 8 to 12 weeks, combining flexible online theory with intensive, hands-on practical days at the Avance Academy.

Is this qualification recognised by insurers?

Is This Qualification Recognised by Insurers?

Yes. This course is designed to meet the rigorous standards required by the UK’s leading beauty insurance providers (such as ABT, IPHM, or Towergate).

Because dermaplaning involves the use of a surgical blade, most insurers require a formal Level 3 Award or equivalent to provide professional indemnity and public liability cover. By completing this accredited course, you ensure that you are practicing legally, safely, and with the full backing of your insurance provider.

What happens after I finish Level 3

You are immediately eligible to enroll in our Level 4 Specialist Courses. Most of our students move directly into Microneedling or Chemical Peels to start building their treatment menu while they continue their journey toward Level 5 and beyond.

Is there a lot of science involved?

We focus on “Applied Science.” You will learn about how the skin works as a biological machine. We break down complex topics like Bio-Electricity and Dermal Anatomy into easy-to-understand modules that directly relate to the treatments you will be performing.

How can I enroll onto this course?

Simply contact us, info@iccacosmetologyacademy.com to book your one-2-one interview or you can contact us via WhatApp +1 758 286 6817 to speak to ICCA course advisor about book a course induction day.

Will I be able to treat real clients during this course?

Absolutely. While theory is essential, aesthetics is a hands-on skill. You will move from practicing on mannequin heads to performing treatments on live models under the close supervision of our expert PhD-led faculty.

I had a great experience at East London Beauty Academy while completing my Level 4 Laser/IPL Skin Rejuvenation course. The training was thorough and easy to follow. The instructors were knowledgeable and supportive. I highly recommended for anyone looking to gain skills in a friendly, professional environment!

Cynthia Gardier, the Principal herself did the meticulous Mesotherapy treatment for me under Dr. Dahlia's instructions. I was so lucky to have 2 PhDs (Dermatologist) working on my face! Couldn't have asked for any better!! This could only be the best! So I just surrendered myself to flow with the bliss of the knowing of Cynthia's expert heavenly hands, with her long track record of an acclaimed illustrious career. Highly recommended to all her prospective students who will be so lucky to get her masterful tutelage! Love and gratitude.

I started my level 2 course in beauty therapy at this school. I was not wrong in my choice. I have just started but Cynthia is really polite and professional. When I show signs of not understanding, she explains things thoroughly until I understand. I respect her. I am looking forward to attending this school again in the future. I totally recommend this school.

I have had an amazing experience learning with Jinan! She has made every lesson enjoyable and truly helped me appreciate all the little details that make a big difference. Her gentle guidance and care in making sure I understood each step made the learning experience feel so personal and special. I’ve gained so much confidence and knowledge, and I’m so grateful for everything I’ve learned. Thank you for making this journey so memorable and inspiring!

I recently got my first ever fillers done by Giorgiana, who studied at this academy and I’m thrilled with the result! She was patient, kind and explained everything I needed to know about the procedure. Will definitely be returning! 10/10 would recommend! :)

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Cynthia who tutored me through two VTCT accreditations through the pandemic. She was always super professional, polite and patient given we were studying through a pandemic and were all finding our way through it. I’m so grateful for her and to the academy and can’t wait to start my next course with them. Thank you Cynthia.

Writing this review from a student perspective (2019).... DISCLAIMER: This review isn't intended to "bash" the place but rather to just share my honest review as a student here so perspective students can know EXACTLY what they are getting themselves into and can make an informed decision on whether to attend this "beauty academy". To put it frankly... I did not enjoy my time here at all and it was unbelievably stressful !! I will NEVER step foot in the place again and just thank God I made it out alive and got my qualification. Unprofessional and EXTREMELY unorganised since my first day starting the course all the way until the very end. They are money and not student/craft orientated and just care about your course fees. Teachers are not officially qualified, some cannot read or speak English properly, and some are teaching things that are untrue/wrong (Tutor:Alek) - especially when it comes to anatomy and physiology (verified by medical professionals that a lot of what we were bring taught by tutor was rubbish and untrue). Owners are VERY VERY VERY rude to you and make your experience there feel overall very uncomfortable and unecessarily stressful. The way they speak/treat you you'd think they were the ones paying you to be there. Cynthia in particular was very rude and made me feel very uneasy. I read the really bad reviews before coming here but it was very local and very cheap so I decided to take the risk. I guess you get what you pay for! If you can afford to study elsewhere PLEASE avoid this place at all costs. And as a customer, I wouldnt trust any treatments that they're offering as the hygiene was very poor seeing inside the salon (Bow) as a student (often had to bring in my own clean sponges and skin products) and I imagine the lasers and other products they use aren't the best quality either, including their own branded products they are trying to push which appear to be cheap/basic private label products they've just plastered their name on. Good luck if you decide to study at this academy. You'll need it!!

Really enjoyed doing level 2 and 3. The owners of the school are very professional but also human at the same time. The course is quite intense as it is a lot of theory and practice, but they make it sure you leave their school with the proper practice and understanding of this industry. I am doing my level 4 with them , and I will come back to visit them as they know a lot about the industry and they are friendly. long life to ELBA !!!

Cynthia santos and aleks are very nice teachers however the college is abit unorganized, they dont teach you any theory in class (you have to study from the moodle by yourself) and barely mention what will be in the exam... and because they are unorganized you find that people are late for classes holding the class back etc... For me it was okay because i had background knowledge already and they are nice understanding teachers however quality of education isnt really there... its not bad for the price though, its one of the cheapest i could find.
