Introduction by Teresa Gamble

Background The world of Micro-pigmentation and Semi-Permanent Makeup (SPMU) is a very rewarding and profitable industry to be involved in. SPMU has been popular for many years throughout the world, but is becoming increasingly popular in the UK. In this short booklet, we aim to answer the many questions you’re sure to have – and allow you to make a confident, well-informed decision about your next step to an exciting new career. Semi-Permanent Cosmetics, is a procedure whereby minute particles of natural and synthetic iron oxide colour pigments are implanted a little more than 1mm below the skin’s surface. The procedure is carried out using a specially designed micro-pigmentation machine which holds a sterile needle or needle grouping. The depth varies depending on which area of the face is being pigmented, due to the differing skin types and conditions. The eyes require the most caution (as far as depth of penetration is concerned) so as not to affect the eyeball itself. Other areas such as lips and eyebrows can be pigmented a little deeper to a depth of around 2mm. A conventional tattoo is implanted to a depth of 3mm below the exfoliating layers of skin, which is why it remains there permanently. Our Commitment to you

Semi Permanent Makeup training with a digital machine and basic kit. A great way to get started with minimal up-front costs.



Dermace Essentials Diploma The Dermace Essentials package was created to offer you a great value training programme without compromising on quality. It focuses on teaching you all aspects of Semi-Permanent makeup procedures, and provides a kit and machine to get you through your portfolio stage to your assessment stage. After this point, you are able to purchase any on-going consumables (needles, pigments etc) from the Dermace online store. Most trainees charge a nominal fee for portfolio work which allows them to reinvest in kit when they return for assessment and graduation.

We recognise that for some, it is not financially possible to invest in Elite or Elite PLUS Training all in one go. For this reason, the Essentials package was created to allow you to get up and running (and make some money!) before taking training in additional areas.

The training you receive on the Essentials course is the same unrivaled quality and intensity as all other Dermace courses. It is NOT a watered down version of ‘ELITE training’, nor does it skip out any techniques or skills. Some companies offer a ‘basic course’ which holds back certain skills and techniques to be included in later, paid-for, courses. We do not believe in holding this knowledge to ransom.

Itinerary for Essentials Course

The Essentials course still has the same benefits that makes Dermace training the most popular in the UK: • Your fully digital Dermace Machine is INCLUDED in the training price • Strict ‘one-to-one’ ratio for practical training - no crowded classrooms, just focussed training • We have the most experienced trainers in the industry - this is imperative for your development • The Dermace Academy is one of the largest training facilities in the United Kingdom • Your kit and equipment is INCLUDED in the price • Dermace provide all models for you to work with free of charge during your training • We are the ONLY company in the UK to offer FREE ongoing support and mentoring • Your assessment is INCLUDED in the price - some companies charge up to £1000 for this!

Pre-study Home Package: The home study package has been carefully designed to educate our trainees in all aspects of micro-pigmentation before intense practical training commences. The package contains Various modules, and each module has a ‘test your knowledge’ section. This gives you an insight as to how you have absorbed each module, and will provide a solid foundation of knowledge to build the complete training package onto. We encourage our technicians to add notes and questions to the manual, as we cover all contents on the theory day of training. 4 Days Practical Training: Intense practical training within the Academy, obtaining practical skills in the three basic areas of semi-permanent makeup: Eyebrows, Eyeliners, and Lips.

Day 1 – Foundation skills This training day gives you a core of knowledge on which to build. • Health & Safety • Government Guidelines • Introduction to Semi-Permanent Makeup and it’s history • Equipment • Anatomy & Physiology • Consent & Paperwork

• You can easily add on a website and marketing pack at a later date

We are the ONLY company in the UK to offer FREE ongoing support and mentoring



Dermace Elite Dermace Elite training is designed to give you the very best possible start in the micro-pigmentation industry. We’ve included more training elements to give you a more rich and varied skill-set. Elite course content The essence of Elite training is to provide you with as many skills and tools as possible to maximise your career advancement. For this reason, we have included an option of our Rejuvi Non-Laser Tattoo Removal training, or Dermace Meso Re-Vitalise training within the Elite package (to broaden your potential client base), as well as an Elite kit and a large selection of consumables. We have also included a ‘Workshop Credit” which allows you to attend one of our selected workshops after your assessment. Dermace workshops provide you with an opportunity to develop specific areas of your new skill-set. If you would like to offer more procedures, there are workshops such as Blusher day. If you’d like a stepping stone to Medical Micro-pigmentation, we have the MCA course. If you want to expand your knowledge of Colour Theory, or Correction, then we have Workshops for those skills too. We fully believe that we have the very best training package in the UK today, and here’s why: • Your fully digital Dermace machine is INCLUDED in the training price • Strict ‘one-to-one’ ratio for practical training - no crowded classrooms, just focussed training • We have the most experienced trainers in the industry - this is imperative for your development • Dermace trained Technicians are highly sought after for treatments • The Dermace Academy is one of the largest training facilities in the United Kingdom • Your kit and equipment is INCLUDED in the price • Dermace provide all models for you to work with free of charge during your training

• We are the ONLY company in the UK to offer FREE ongoing support and mentoring • Your assessment is INCLUDED in the price - some companies charge up to £1000 for this! • You can easily add on a website and marketing pack at a later date • We train a variety of techniques in each procedure type Above all - you will certainly ENJOY your training, and the new skills you gain from it. For an idea of the itinerary for the Elite course, just leaf back a few pages and refer to the Essentials Diploma information. The first four days of the course are identical in content and scedule, and we provide all your models as we do on all our courses.

After Assessment and Certification The amount of procedures you carry out is directly related to the amount of effort you put into your marketing. We all know at least a few people who have would be interested in semi permanent makeup – but you would be surprised how many would attend a consultation if it was a reasonable price, and they had confidence in your new-found skills. In turn, they have friends outside of your social circle, and so the viral nature of your new business, SPMU, takes off. With a good website and promotional plan, we expect you to be carrying out at least 5 procedures per week in the early days of your venture. This number will rise to whatever you feel you can cope with - and again, is down to good networking. Typically, 10 - 15 procedures per week is a good number to aim for – but don’t let us hold you back! SPMU procedures are charged per area (Lipliners, eyeliners, eyebrows, lipliner/blend), and that should include a ‘re-touch’ session, typically 4-6 weeks later. 0844 3579200 • www.dermace.co.uk • [email protected]

Rejuvi Non-Laser Tattoo Removal The Rejuvi product is a truly amazing breakthrough in tattoo removal. When most people think of tattoo removal, they have images of a painful and expensive treatment involving daunting laser equipment. While laser removal technology has come on in leaps and bounds, we are still inclined to recommend the Rejuvi method for ease, comfort and value for money.

Why Rejuvi? The secret to Rejuvi’s success is in the patented formulation used to remove the tattoo pigment. It’s important to understand the difference between laser removal, and the Rejuvi system. With laser removal, the tattoo pigment is forced into the body’s lymphatic system — with Rejuvi, the cream bonds with the pigment and the body expels it naturally. The procedure itself is far more comfortable than having a ‘traditional’ tattoo, as we are able to numb the area prior to commencing. The machines and techniques used are also a little different to that of a traditional tattoo, and most people are pleasantly surprised by how simple and stress-free a Rejuvi treatment can be. In terms of setting up and operating your Rejuvi business, it’s very simple indeed. We will advise you on the local authority guidelines in your area, and educate you on the requirements for carrying out Rejuvi procedures. Compared to the financial and bureaucratic outlay with a laser system, the Rejuvi system lends itself perfectly to starting a new business.

Starting from scratch Two of the most important things to consider when starting up any new venture is how financially viable it is, and what start-up costs are involved. With a Dermace Rejuvi training course, you get the whole package in one: 1 Comprehensive Training course with free workshops 2 Real-life training on genuine case models 3 Full Rejuvi kit and aftercare system In addition, we can also supply: • A fully digital Micro-pigmentation machine • Ongoing supply of consumables • A tailor-made website, graphic design and email addresses • Ongoing marketing and technical support 4 The Dermace Marketing package is ideal for those who want to hit the ground running and have a fully featured website, company logo, and marketing material. A basic website package starts at just £300, with more advanced features priced on application.

Expanding your skills If you are simply adding to your existing skills, and you already have experience in tattooing, then you are well on your way to success. In order for you to gain Dermace Certification in Rejuvi tattoo removal, you will only need to spend one full training day with us. We will brush up on any Health & Safety modules and go over the consultation and acceptance procedure, then move on to practical assessment.

For latest prices, please consult either the pricing supplement with this brochure, or our website dermace. co.uk If you already run a tattoo shop, or you are a semi-permanent tattooing technician, you will no doubt have a good customer base to work from. Tattooists tend to find Rejuvi helpful when a client would like a large tattoo covering up — rather than removing. Rejuvi can fade the old tattoo, making covering much easier — and it’s also great for removing overlapping shapes in the design. As an SPMU Technician, you’ll find you can expand your services to a totally new client base and in many cases you can continue to use the equipment you already have.

After Certification The amount of procedures you carry out indirectly related to the amount of effort you put into your marketing. All of us know at least a few people who have tattoos — but you would be surprised how many would have them removed if it was a reasonable price, and was not a painful procedure. In turn, they have friends outside of your social circle, and so the viral nature of your new business; Rejuvi takes off. With a good website and promotional plan, we expect you to be carrying out at least 10 removals per week in the early days of your venture. This number will rise to whatever you feel you can cope with, and again, is down to good networking. Typically, 20 removals per week is a good number to aim for — but don’t let us hold you back! Removals are charged per session, and you’ll find a total removal will take between 2 and 6 sessions, depending on the size and design of the tattoo in question. We have taken an average price per session as £90 — although this will vary, it’s a fair figure to use in this example.

MCA involves improving the physical appearance of scars, burns, acne scaring, stretch marks and fine lines on the face



MCA MCA involves improving the physical appearance of scars, burns, acne scaring, stretch marks and fine lines on the face. MCA works by inducing a controlled trauma to the affected area. This then encourages the body’s natural fluids and collagen back into the area - flattening scars and calming other skin problems. It’s also an ideal add-on treatment for cosmetic technicians with the added bonus of not needing to buy new kit or machines. We often look upon MCA as a halfway-house between Cosmetic and Medical. You really have the benefit of being able to change people’s quality of life with this procedure. Contact us for details of the course content and next available dates.

Correction & Removal Workshop This is a great workshop and always very popular with technicians from all academies. Including removal on the face and shallow camouflage pioneered by Teresa Gamble. The Correction Specialist workshop has to be the Gold Standard training course at the Dermace Training Academy. This course has been designed to produce the elite technician within our industry and the pledge of Dermace Academy is to promote these technicians in a class of their own. The course is the ultimate tool of any micro-pigmentation technician within the industry to set them apart from the rest. Dermace guarantee that there will nothing put before a technician that they cannot rectify and give answers to their clients as to why the situation occurred. For further details, and dates, please contact us.
