The course, mark by mark

One mark. Five modules.

The lips get a course of their own because small changes show. You learn each module in class first, map it on a live model in clinic, then treat it under supervision.

3Lips Reading the lip How lips age, how they move when a client talks and smiles, and what proportion looks like on this face. Some lips need very little. Some need nothing. Respect: The client's own shape. You draw what is there before you plan what to add.
3Lips Border and Cupid's bow Defining the edge of the lip and the bow at its centre, with small amounts placed where the map says. Respect: The border holds a little product and shows every drop of it. Less, then check.
3Lips Body and corners Volume in the body of the lip, balance between upper and lower, and support at the corners of the mouth. Respect: The labial arteries run inside the lip, at a depth that varies. You plan the depth before the needle goes in.
3Lips Needle or cannula When each one fits, how to choose for the lip in front of you, and how the order and the plan of care set what you use. Respect: The entry point. You mark it, and you know what runs beneath it before you go in.
!Red lines The red lines Recognizing a vascular problem in the lip in the first minutes. Dissolving hyaluronic acid filler, the emergency kit in the room, and what you do, in order. Practised before your first model, not after. The full day is Complications. Why it's a module: The lip has a rich blood supply, and its arteries vary from face to face. Its red lines come first.

Before you book

Who it's for, what you leave with, and what nurses ask.

Who can take it

RNs, RPNs, NPs and physicians who have finished a beginner filler course. RNs and RPNs practise with an order from an NP or physician, and from 1 March 2027 it must be a client-specific order (what changes in March). New to filler? Start with Dermal fillers or Foundations. Naturopathic doctors: this course isn't open to NDs. Check your licence on the Can I train? list.

What you leave with

A certificate of completion. It records the course you took and the training you finished. Permission to inject comes from your licence and, for RNs and RPNs, an order from an NP or physician.

Can I take the lip filler course as a beginner?

Start with the foundational filler course: it introduces the lips and needs no injecting experience. This course is the next step, for more time on lips after it.

How small are the groups?

Very small: 3 students at most per class. Your trainer checks your map, and every model is assessed by an NP or physician, before you treat.

Do you teach needle and cannula for lips?

Yes. You learn when each one fits and why, then use what the plan of care sets for the model in front of you.

What do you teach about lip complications?

How to recognize a vascular problem in the first minutes, how hyaluronic acid filler is dissolved, what's in the emergency kit, and what you do, in order. You practise it before your first model.

Can RPNs take the lip filler course?

Yes, once they've finished a beginner filler course. To practise, you work on an order from an NP or physician, and from 1 March 2027 that order is client-specific.
