VTCT micropigmentation course
VTCT qualifications are amongst the most widely preferred qualifications by salons and beauty professionals.
This VTCT micropigmentation course, also known as semi-permanent make-up, is the only VTCT accredited micropigmentation course and is the equivalent of a level 4 qualification. It is designed for professional therapists aged 18 and over wishing to study to an advanced level both theoretically and practically. The VTCT level 4 certificate in micropigmentation involves the artist inserting micropigments into the top layers of the skin with a semi-permanent make-up machine, using the dotting technique or pixelisation.
Micropigmentation is a form of cosmetic tattooing to create make-up effects to enhance facial features. The training will give you the knowledge to perform advanced eyebrow, eyeliner and lip treatments using a variety of micropigmentation techniques. The training will require at least 100 hours of self-study.
