solution of these complaints, this way they can improve aesthetics practice.
Value people: valuing people provide clear understanding of their taste and preferences,
it is very clear that without managing and respecting value of client, practitioner can not
improve aesthetics practice. Sometimes equality lack behind because of less value
provided by practitioner to their client, not only client but practitioner have to value
their worker as well.
Valuing cultural diversity: valuing cultural diversity allow practitioner to value
diverse culture of their client, worker and supplier (Mason and Minerva, 2020).

Question 1 of 6
Analyse the structure and functions of the skin and its appendages.
(expected 200-400 words)
The human skin is crafted into two part, first epidermis and second is dermis, these two layer
cover top area of skin. Skin is one of the most important thing in body structure, this layer
provides certain benefit to human such as protection from UV rays, regulation of blood and
sensation that process message to brain (Shaughnessy and et.al., 2020). There are certain part
of skin, these are:
Epidermis: epidermis is outer layer of skin which can be visible with naked eyes, this layer
act as protector which stop dangerous virus, bacteria and ray to enter body. This layer stop
any kind of infection occur during treatments or any other situation, sometimes human
activities impact skin for example accident that peal down skin. This layer help in building
new skin and protect spreading of infection in the body.
Dermis: dermis is second layer of skin, this allows skin yo produce thickness, almost 90%
of thickness is made by dermis. Function of this skin drive body to become healthy for
example; dermis have collagen and elastin which product protein that allow skin to be more
flexible and strong. Roots of hair reach dermis and get all sufficient nutrition in growing of
hair.
Hypodermis: hypodermis is fatty layer that protect bone, this layer ensures that fall become
protective in any type of harm, this fat allow human to survive any accident (Liberman and
et.al., 2017). Hypodermis connects other layer of skill and provide every essential nutrition

(expected 300-500 words)
Bones are important part of human body, this provides them support. Every bone in human
body is connected with each other, which means support is provide to every essential part of
human body. Bone that support brain have certain responsibilities, these bone have
flexibility and strength which help brain to remain stable (Boiadjiev and et.al., 2018). Skull
have 22 bones in adult specimen, each bone have function that help brain to work
effectively. There are certain bone structure in human skull and neck, these are:
calvaria and skull base: Calvaria is upper part of skull which provide almost every type of
protection. This area of skull is cover to cerebral cortex and other important part of brain,
sometimes calvaria work as helmet that provide protection to head. It is very clear that brain
is most important part of human body which ensure each and every activity, base of skull
provide support to brain and allow them to perform certain task in life.
Hyoid bone: hyoid bone is bridge between skull and neck, this bone provide support to brain
and allow brain to stand still and connected with body. This bone is flexible allow human
Page 38 of 70

body to move in certain direction, without hyoid, brain will not be attached to lower body.
Every muscle that is attracted to neck and brain provide flow of movement and help brain to
process effectively.
Cervical vertebra: cervical vertebra provide support to brain, and perform certain other
important function. Different brain activities are managed by cervical vertebra, these are;
atlas that provide support, axis that allow brain or skull to rotate,
Spinal cord: spinal cord is one of the most important part of human body which allow brain
to process and manage activities, this cord is long tubular structure which is formed by
nerves and cell (Chang and et.al., 2016). Spinal cord provide support to neck and brain, this
is connected with back at back of human body and mainly used in providing information to

(expected 300-500 words)
Human face is capable to make 10000 unique facial experience, face have different type of
muscle which move in different way. Muscle in face can be adjusted according to the
situations which mean different situations push brain to make certain face expression
(Akiyama, 2017). There are different type of muscle which are responsible for facial
expression, these are:
Orbital group: orbital group is muscle that support facial expression, this group decides
outer expression and provide source of facial nerve, orbital group have three parts, these are;
orbicularis oculi; this muscle cover eyelids and provide protection from any kind of attack of
dust particle and substances that can hurt eye. Orbicularis oculi have three muscle for
example; palpebral; close eyelid and cover eyes, this muscle is every important in protecting
eyes as this close and provide relax to eyes. Whereas lacrimal is another important muscle
which provide drainage system to tears, this muscle mainly work as pipe for tear. And orbital
is that muscle which close eyelids.
Corrugator supercilii: corrugator supercilii is small muscle that process to close human eye,
this muscle draw eyebrow together (Proksch and et.al., 2020).
Occipitofrontalis: this muscle control movement of eyebrow for example raises eyebrow.
Nasal group: nasal group provide movement of skin and nose, this facial nerve have three
muscle which help in making facial expression. Nasalis has transverse which compresses the
nares whereas alar open nares. Whereas procerus is muscle that pull eyebrow downward and
move in certain direction. At last depressor septi nasi open nare and help in pulling nose
inferiorly.
Oral group: oral group is the larges muscle group, there are 12 different type of muscle that
driv facial expression, these are; orbicularis oris, focus on lips, buccinator help in pulling
cheek inward to teeth, platysma muscle draw mouth downward and craft corner of mouth
movement. There are other two muscle groups:
Lower group: lower group have depressor anguli oris, depressor labi inferiors and the
mentalis.
Upper group: upper group have risorius, zygomaticus major, zygomaticus minor, levator
labi Superioris, levator labi superioris alaeque nasi and levator anguli oris.

Question 4 of 6
Differentiate between cranial, sensory and motor nerves.
(expected 300-500 words)
Cranial Sensory Motor nerves
It has been considered as that
part of the scull which
encloses the brain. The major
work of the cranial is to sense
the smell, sound, taste and so
on. Cranial pass signal to the
brain and then, the brain
identifies the senses. Also, it
is the hard part of the brain
that protects the brain from
the injury. There are total 12
cranial nerve in the human
body that pass signals to the
brain (Huff and Daly, 2018).
The cranial is different from
person to person as everyone
has different structure of
skull.
Sensory refers to the physical
senses that can be feel. The
sensory function enables the
brain in order to recognise
the things that are harmful or
not. The senses get active and
pass signal to the brain.
Sensory nerves carry the
sensory impulses from the
body and pass it to the central
nerve system. This nerve
only consist the efferent
fibres. The major function of
the sensory is to recognise
the things with the help of
body part and then pass the
information to the central
nervous system. And on the
basis of that information is
The motor nerve is that nerve
that has been located in the
central nervous system. The
spinal cord is responsible for
sending the motor signals
from the central nervous
system to the muscles of the
body. So, the major work of
the motor nerve is to carry
the signals from the central
nervous system and then pass
it to the muscles of the body
(Lori and et.al., 2018). The
movement of the muscles in
the body has been controlled
by the motor nerves as the
CNS provides signals to the
muscles and on the basis of

Analyse the functioning of the vascular system relevant to injection techniques in
the head and neck, including high risk areas.
(expected 300-500 words)
he vascular system refers to that system in body that carries the blood and lymph throughout
the body. Vascular system plays the main function in relation of the injection techniques in
the head and body and those are:
The carotid arteries present in the neck these are the blood vessels that are located on both
the side of the neck that ensures the delivery of blood to the brain. The injection in the brain
activates these arteries and enables them to pass the blood. When the blood circulation in the
Page 42 of 70

head gets affected due to the diseases such as, cerebrovascular diseases. This leads to block
the blood in the arteries. Thus, this impacts the blood circulation in the body. The vascular
system performs the vital role in circulating the blood throughout the body (González-
Loyola and Petrova, 2021). Thus, at the time of injection technique in the brain the blood
circulation process has been activated. The arteries gets activated and blood starts
circulating. There is a high risk that has been associated with this and that is getting blocked
of nerve. Thus, this may creates the different issues in the brain. There is a chance that blood
vessels may be clogged in the brain that affects the over all circulation of the blood in the
brain.

Analyse the functioning of the nerves relevant to injection techniques in the
head and neck, including high risk areas.
(expected 300-500 words)
Cranial nerves: It includes which directly connect with brain to different body parts
like neck, trunk and head. It has 12 pairs of carnival nerves which all have different
connection to body parts. In case cranial nerve get cut down into two parts then it has no
chance to connect again. So its clear that carnival nerves send signals within brains,
face, torso and neck, so its useful for hear, smell, feel sensation and taste. It also works
for important part of body like eye blinking, expression, tongue and many more (Deng
and et.al., 2021). Having nerves in body useful for listing other view points, facial
expression and many more. Idea of this term that in case this nerves not work properly
then it impacts on activity of human body part.
Sensory nerves: It provides information and knowledge to brain for work completion
also its one way communication formation within brain to body. It means five major
sense which essential and important for every human like five sense which includes
sight, taste, touch, smell, and sound. Having all this term can be possible when human
have sensory nerves.
Motor nerves: This nerves develop direct control on muscles movement. From the idea
of motor which directly evaluate that motor has power to fulfill work with efficient
manner and proper work of motor nerves work for brain activities as well because its
depends on body muscles movement. Having this nerves has potential to develop
control on activities of human with proper evaluation and identification of control
expansion on performance of body (Oka and et.al., 2021). Only having this nerves has
power to develop communication, new thoughts, movement of body arts and any more
aspects.

Question 1 of 12
Evaluate the potential impact on the treatment results of not following pre-
treatment advice and pre-treatment skin preparation.
(expected 200-400 words)
Skin preparation is treatments process of cleaning and disinfection of skin, preoperative is
done on skin surface. Every practitioner need to consider pre-treatment advice before
performing skin preparation but if they do not follow these advice then result may be

General care: general care is most common advice provided by practitioner to client, this
includes caring of skin with certain product for several days. If pre treatment advice is not
considered by practitioner or client then they might face infection on skin surface (Al-
Mayahy and et.al., 2019).
Peeling skin: there are number of side effective and impact of not following pre treatment's
advice but most common type of impact can be seen on peeling skin where skin loses
thickness and often fall.
Swelling: there are many skin treatment which cause swelling, this is common issue that
occur after treatment, to over come this, practitioner advice client to take general care of
skin. If client or practitioner fail to follow this advices then swelling might become serious

Question 2 of 12
Evaluate the types, uses, limitations and risks of topical anaesthetics in skin
micro-needling.
(expected 300 -500 words)
Skin micro-needling is challenging part in treatment, this has certain risk such as severe
burning, irritation and swelling. Many practitioner uses topical anesthetics to overcome
this risk and side effect, skin treatment is not easy process as client may feel unbearable
pain that can disturb the process. Practitioner use anesthetics medicine which can limit
and reduce sensation of pain, those areas where micro-needling have damaged the part,
this medicine is applied. Topical anesthetics are available in different form, these are;
cream, gel and sprays (Kaewjiaranai and et.al., 2018). There are certain risk of using
topical anesthetics, these are:
Corneal damage: corneal damage is part of eye where wound have occurred due to
treatment, this wound can be notice in cornea of the eye. Corneal is crystal clear part or
tissue, this tissue cover front of eye. Micro-needling can damage corneal and using of
topical anesthetics can become risk in the process.
Mild skin reaction: mild skin reaction is another risk of topical anesthetics on skin
micro-needling, this reaction impact skin surface and provide rash, itchiness, watery
and red eyes. There are many cases where client even face fever and runny nose. When
Page 48 of 70

using topical anesthetic's medicine for example; LMX4 Cream, patient might face issue
of mild skin reaction.
Anaphylaxis: anaphylaxis is another risk of topical anesthetic's in skin micro-needling,
this is severe, exposure and allergic reaction which can impact certain area of skin.
There is high risk of catching allergic reaction because of topical anesthetic's medicine
for example; Xylocaine 10mg anesthetic spray is used for reducing temporarily numb
area, this can become risk after treatment because lubricant can hurt skin.
Toxicity issue: due to chemical compostion, dermal toxicity can arrive at skin surface,
this one of the major issue which required multiple treatment to cure, in skin treatment,
practitioner may use certain types of drugs which can impact skin, some topical
anesthetic medicine provide more allergic reaction. For example: EMLA Cream is one
of the topical anesthetic medicine used in numbing the surface, this allows body to stop
pain occurring on the surface of the skin.

Question 3 of 12
Examine how the Fitzpatrick and Glogau skin classification systems impact on
chemical peel and skin micro-needling treatments.
(expected 200-400 words)
The Fitzpatrick skin classification system is well-known as scaling system that divide
level of skin and its reaction after treatment. In the process of chemical peeing or skin
micro-needling treatment, this scaling play vital rile and impact process. For example;
skin type 4 is light brown skin that burns minimally and tans easily, in chemical
peeling, this skin type can become rash and provide infectious risk. Practitioner need to
classify skin type before any treatment to avoid any impact on skin (Gupta and
Sharma, 2019). Fitzpatrick is skin color classification system by used in understanding
tanning ability, in skin micro-needling treatment, practitioner need to have knowledge
of skin type and feature with tanning ability.
Glogau skin classification system: Glogau skin clarification system is used in
photoaging and further divided into several parts for example; group 1 classification
mild with typical age between 28-35 is used in treatment of no wrinkle. Chemical
peeling process, practitioner need to analyze impact of chemical peeling on skin
classification. In the treatment of wrinkle, practitioner classification skin and practice
accordingly, exposure to UV rays directly impacting skin and causing wrinkle
(Trivisonno, and et.al., 2017). Practitioner can use Glogau skin classification system to
perform chemical peeling and skin micro-needling treatment.

patient choice to seek informed consent and ask for withdrawal if they do not want to
continue treatment or medical process.
Under GDPR, practitioner have to keep client record safe in written or in electronic
form, they need to simplify data which can easily be retained by client. When
supervisory authority perform audit then these clinics or practitioner have to provide
these record without any exception. There are storage limitations where clinic have to
follow certain limit in managing records. Practitioner have to provide ICO on request of
government and authority.
Under GDPR retention policy, practitioner can keep and retain record till six years,
according to HMRC, practitioner have to record and retain consent more than six years

different segment, action of chemical peel is only effective if skin depth is known.
Skin depth is divided into certain part, superficial, medium and deep (Ribeiro and
et.al., 2020). Practitioner can use Fitzpatrick skin classification system before
treatment to make result effective.
Page 53 of 70

PH: PH layer is acidic layer of skin, every human being had 5.5 pH level of their skin,
this level can increase and decrease according pollution and level of oil present on
skin. Practitioner have to analyze pH level before chemical peel treatment as chemical
peel contain 2.0 pH which can perform deep cleaning and can improve result.
Layering: chemical peel can provide same result in both, light and deep peel. This is
because of layer of skin and layer of chemical peel. Medium peel can attack dermis
part of skin and layer. It is very important to understand layer and its impact, this can
improve treatment result.
Timing and frequency: timing and frequency play vital tole in chemical peel, chemical
peel need 30 to 90 minutes (Starkman and Mangat, 2020). Timing is completely
decide by types of chemical peel for example light chemical peel may have less time
and hard chemical peeling at long as compared frequency of chemical peel. Timing
and frequency can impact treatment result and process.
Neutralization: neutralization is process of bringing down pH level of chemical, this is
used in chemical peel because pH can hurt skin surface. Neutralization solution is
applied to skin to reduce any kind of skin infection and impact to skin. Neutralization
