​

The core philosophy behind Erasure Skin Academy is based on the importance of providing quality training from a clinic environment. We believe in the importance of teacher led training from within a real clinical setting  that emphasises practical application of skills.

Recently there has been a need for change within the beauty industry, with a move to offering courses to a higher level to insure competency amongst beauty therapists. This has enabled those career minded therapists to move towards non aesthetic industry by enrolling onto courses at level 4 and 5; offering treatments from Ultherapy, Theramage to laser skin rejuvenation.
