About

Led by Clinicians. Grounded in Science.

Institute of Skin courses are delivered by Yvonne McNamara, a Registered Nurse with extensive experience across general practice, aesthetics, and skin health.

Yvonne runs an active aesthetics clinic in Co. Galway where she delivers the full range of treatments taught at Institute of Skin. This means everything covered in training comes directly from real, current clinical practice - not a training room removed from real patients.

Her approach is evidence-based and patient-centred, with a particular focus on skin health, medical peels, microneedling, and regenerative treatments.

Our Philosophy

Good aesthetics training should prepare you for what actually happens in clinic - not just what happens in a textbook. At Institute of Skin, you will learn the science behind each treatment, the clinical reasoning for patient selection, and the practical technique to perform it safely and confidently.

We keep groups small deliberately. Two or three delegates per session means you get proper hands-on time, real feedback, and the space to ask questions.

A Note on Accreditation

Institute of Skin is a private training provider. Our courses are not QQI accredited. Certificates issued confirm attendance and successful completion of training.

Delegates are responsible for ensuring any treatments performed post-training fall within their professional scope of practice and are covered by their own indemnity insurance.
