“Both the City and Guilds NVQ L4 module and theVTCT Level 4 award in Skin Blemish Removal QCF include a credit value of seven and guided learning hours of 47 to treat skin tags, telangiectasia, spider naevi and blood spots. City and Guilds also provide all assignments andmarking criteria for the tutors, and their qualification is graded on both the practical and knowledge
element.They outline the case studies required to ensure the learner covers the complete range on a number of clients,” adds Elaine.

contraindications
As with all beauty treatments, contraindicationsmust be taken into account. In terms of this particular method, a client consultation always needs to be undertaken to address any issues thatmay affect the treatment especially in terms of healthmatters. It’s also worth remembering that in some cases the client will need to obtain a doctor’s note in order to treat particular imperfections.
“Themost serious consideration, as with hair removal, when using HF and DC is a PaceMaker and any othermajor heart conditions.With some of the procedures medication is a concern such asWarfarin
