“As you embark on a career in permanent
cosmetics you’re not only going to open your life to
an uncapped earning potential, you’re also going
to have the special privilege of enhancing people’s
lives.... This is the discovery that I made and would
now like to share with you.
As far back as I can remember I’ve held a
passionate interest in the transformational power
of makeup, a passion which has afforded me an
illustrious career during which I’ve worked for and
launched some of Europe’s highest profile
permanent cosmetics companies.
I consider myself privileged to be recognised as a
global innovator in my field and have been
responsible for introducing new techniques, systems
and products to the permanent cosmetics arena.
I have made countless TV appearances and received
press recommendations both in the UK and Europe
including ITV1’s makeover programme
Make Me Perfect.

finish. You’ll be taught by Europe’s leading expert

Make it happen…
Permanent cosmetics are the beauty and
anti-ageing industry’s fastest growing sector.
Each year thousands of clients actively search for
respected trustworthy specialists.
Our procedures infuse medical grade pigments
into the dermal layer of the skin to give a natural
finish that imitates perfectly applied make-up.
Used to enhance brows, eyes and lips, the look
is realistic and once it’s done it just stays looking
perfect, day in day out, for up to 18 months before
fading.
Frequently requested by surgeons and patients,
specialist medical micro-pigmentation can
camouflage scars, restore the areola, create the
appearance of hair growth and re-pigment
Vitiligo.
Can you see yourself doing this?
Perhaps your goal is to work closely with plastic
surgeons? - then our aim is to provide you with
hands-on practical experience in the areas of scar
camouflage and areola reconstruction
allowing you the skill to complement the results of
cosmetic surgery.
Maybe you want to work directly with the hospitals
in arguably the most rewarding aspect of
medical micro-pigmentation and have the
opportunity to change the lives of people affected
by disease or injury - for example areola
reconstruction following Mastectomy, scar
relaxation or re-pigmentation of Vitiligo.
Our Cosmedic® Medical-Speciality programme will
give you the opportunity to become an
integral part of somebody’s life changing
procedure. The reality is that you will have
enabled another person to embrace their life with
a new confidence - a confidence that the majority
of us take for granted.

So what will I learn?
A recognised qualification
The professional industry qualification that you will
gain when you train as a Cosmedic®
micro-pigmentation specialist with Natural
Enhancement is recognised by insurers and
licensing bodies both in the UK and internationally.
Our Smart-Start education programme is accredited
by both HABIA – the government approved standards
setting body that forms the framework for NVQ Level
4 Micro-pigmentation and the Guild of Professional
Beauty Therapists. Internationally we meet the
requirements of the Society of Permanent Cosmetics
Professionals and the American Academy of Micro-
pigmentation.
We are professionally endorsed by the cosmetic
surgery and aesthetics industry elite; we are
advisers to the London Licensing Officers on
micro-pigmentation health and safety and are both
trainers and product suppliers to Harrods, Harvey
Nichols, Saks and the NHS.
We have BUPA recognition and our Director is on the
panel of experts for BABTAC specialising in micro-
pigmentation.
Our education programme has been structured from
start to finish with you in mind, to assure that when
you complete your training, you will leave with the
specialist skills that guarantee you will feel
confident to perform permanent cosmetic
procedures, reassured in your choice of academy
and with a qualification that is renowned and
acknowledged by your future clients.
“My first encounter with Natural Enhancement was
at Professional Beauty - Excel in March. I had my
lips done at the show and was so impressed with the
results that I made the decision to train as a
Cosmedic® micro-pigmentation professional.
The business opportunities appealed to me
economically and on a more personal note I
realised that the skills I would learn would allow me
to make a difference to people’s lives.
Obviously I had some concerns regarding the initial
financial outlay, but fortunately recognised the
enormous potential and set about realising my new
career.
The training was amazing! Every aspect of the
industry and how to make it work for my needs
was covered. I found my Cosmedic® Smart-Start
course intensive and challenging. The standard of
excellence required by Natural Enhancement is high
but this only increased my desire to succeed.
Assessment day for me was in September and when
I passed it was a feeling of real achievement all that
hard work and investment was worth every single
penny.
To build on the knowledge and experience that I
gained during my course and to develop my skills
and confidence more quickly Natural
Enhancement entered me into their mentoring
programme. I learnt so much just by working with
my mentor and watching her going about her daily
business. I also found it useful to know that I could
call Natural Enhancement for support at any time
and their advisory team of professionals were always
happy to help me.
To take me to the next level I signed up for the
Cosmedic® Medical-Speciality classes which lead
to me freelancing in a private aesthetic surgery
practice with leading cosmetic surgeon Dr Anthony
Erian.
From there on my business continued to develop
with amazing results. Three months later I signed
a contract with Destination Skin to service their 10
anti-ageing clinics located through out the UK.
Within seven months of qualifying as a permanent
cosmetic professional my business is growing from
strength to strength. I feel very privileged to be able
to do a job which I love and to earn a salary that I
could only ever have dreamed of 10 months ago.”
Here’s what’s happening...Catherine is a great example of the majority of enquiries we receive at Natural Enhancement.
Dissatisfied with her existing job she wanted to go further... much further.
