elixSKIN & Elixir Skin Training Reviews

Amazing training with both Saarah and Carel. As a therapist who has been in the trade for 28 years, I make sure I do my research. I would highly recommend Elixir Skin training to all existing therapists and those new to the industry. The two kindest, most supportive people I’ve ever had training with. I even want to go back just to be in their presence again. Beautiful training centre and even better they also run their own gorgeous clinic rooms as well. Even the models on training couldn’t speak more highly of the owners. Thank you so much.

Would highly recommend I am a beginner in skincare and have signed up for my level 3 and 4. I have completed all my practicals with Saarah and can not recommend her enough. She has been amazing throughout and been on hand to support where needed. Really enjoyed my time in her clinic and super excited to get going with things!

An exceptional experience with Elixir Skin Training. The training was delivered with a remarkable level of professionalism, expertise and attention to detail, whilst maintaining an incredibly warm and personalized approach. I am incredibly grateful for the guidance and expertise provided. I left feeling not only more knowledgeable and confident, but genuinely inspired to elevate my own professional standards. Elixir Skin Training represents the kind of excellence, discretion and quality that is increasingly difficult to find and sets a first class experience standard for quality education and professional development. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking outstanding training within the aesthetics and skincare industry. ✨

I was left with deep pitted forehead scars after having chickenpox as an adult. After multiple treatments elsewhere with little improvement, I started scar treatment with Sarah and have seen a significant improvement in both my scars and my overall skin from the 1st treatment. I only wish I'd found Saarah sooner. Highly recommend!

Have tried a few treatments here, polynucleotides and the dark circle treatment as well as biorepeel microneedling and I’m honestly so happy for going to this place. I’ve seen improvements in my skin and under eyes. The whole experience of having these treatments is genuinely beautiful because of the knowledge and care taken for each specific one. If you want real results catered carefully to your specific needs and attention to detail, I highly recommend going to Saarah!

I came to see Saarah not knowing what I needed for my skin. Saarah was so patient and went through all the treatments and her recommendations. I opted for the Doll skin treatment with skin boosters. There was no pressure to have any of the treatments. Honestly speaking she’s the best I’ve ever been to! Saarah really knows what she’s talking about. She also helped me with a day and night routine best suited to my skin. Also you DO NOT feel any pain by the injectables. I don’t like needles but Saarah is so good at her job I didn’t know when the needle was being put into my skin. I’m definitely going to be her client for life. It’s a lovely safe professional place to be in. Thoroughly throughly recommend.

After deciding (very late in life may I add) to enter the beauty industry I was nervous for my first training. I didn't need to be, Saarah is wonderful and put me at ease straight away. I'm so pleased I chose Elixir because there was only me and another student for our practical training, I think I may have been a little overwhelmed with a larger training facility, so this was perfect for me and I definitely made the right choice. Nothing was too much trouble for Saarah, always on hand through the online training and is super knowledgeable. Thank you for helping me step into this next chapter.

I completed my Skin Specialist Level 4 VTCT course with Saraah and it has been the best experience. Throughout my course, Saraah provided me with the support during my assignments and answered many of my questions. Times where I felt overwhelmed and ready to give up, Saraah provided me with so much reassurance. During both of my practicals in the centre, I felt so comfortable and Saraah would always check in if I had any questions. For my advance treatment practicals, I practised on 11 models and now I feel confident to start my business. The clinic is a true representation of how Saraah carries herself. I travelled just over 2 hours and I would highly recommend taking on a course with Elixir Skin Training.

Hi Saarah, Just wanted to drop a message to say thank you so much for making me feel welcomed and most importantly for the amazing skin treatment I had today! My skin has never felt to good and hydrated. Everyone has commented on how good it looks! It was lovely to see you and Insha’allah will be coming back for the next treatment. x

I had a skin consultation with Saarah and she was so knowledgeable and honest. She didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t need, which I really appreciated. I’d already been looking into microneedling and she explained why it would be really beneficial for my dry skin. She also gave me advice on my skincare routine and recommended products that would actually suit my skin. I had my first microneedling session with Izabela yesterday and she was so welcoming and gentle. I was expecting to be red for a few days, but the redness has pretty much gone by this morning. My skin already looks plumper and so much more hydrated. Izabela didn’t push me to book more sessions either - she said to see how I feel in 3-4 weeks and decide then if I’d like a second one, otherwise just come back for a 2-3 month top-up. I’ll 100% be coming back ☺️

I completed the Level 3 Access to Aesthetic Therapies – Conversion course and had a very positive experience. My instructor, Sarah, was knowledgeable, professional, and consistently supportive throughout the training. She provided clear guidance, practical feedback, and took the time to understand my individual learning needs. The course was well-structured, and the level of support from the instructor significantly contributed to my progress. I would confidently recommend this course to anyone looking to advance their skills in aesthetic therapies.

One of the best courses I have ever completed and easily one of the best choices I’ve made for my personal and professional development. From the very beginning, Saarah & Carel were incredibly welcoming, supportive, and always willing to help whenever I needed guidance. They supported me throughout my entire journey and genuinely cared about my progress and success. The practical days were a real highlight for me. They gave us the opportunity to work independently, build confidence, and improve our skills each time we attended. I really appreciated how we were encouraged to challenge ourselves while still knowing that support was always there if we needed it. Overall, it was such a positive and rewarding experience. I learned so much, and left feeling much more confident in my abilities. I will definitely be coming back in the future and would highly recommend this course to anyone considering it.

Hi Sara, thank you for the lovely review.

You were great in training, completing your VTCT Level 3 in Access to Aesthetic Therapies as well as the Advanced Skincare Diploma. I am confident that you will do great when you run your own business soon.

There is not enough amazing things that I can say about Elixir Skin Clinic. Both Carel and Saarah instilled the confidence, tools, learning and knowledge required to successfully set up my very own business… they equipped me with an excellent knowledge of skin anatomy, skin science and product knowledge to be enabled to independently operate my own clinic and also at the same time through their “Get Booked” course, have levelled up my marketing and content game on my socials and my site. If you are on the fence, stop waiting and thinking about it… just BEGIN! You won’t look back. This Acedemy is the real deal. No messing, no made- up courses… real, insurable, qualifications that map onto the Qualifications Networks- even in Ireland, where I am from and operate. Thank you so much, guys!
