ABOUT
WHAT IS COSMETIC DERMATOLOGY?
Cosmetic Dermatology usually refers to an aesthetics practitioner with a deep understanding of the skin, especially skin ageing. This usually includes being trained in tailoring targeted skincare and skin treatment plans, and administering advanced skin treatments. These include varying depths of chemical peels, microneedling and injectable skin boosters
Our Cosmetic Dermatology Course is designed for medical professionals who want to develop their knowledge of skin science and broaden their clinical aesthetics skills by delivering a wide range of cosmetic skin treatments. Ideal for doctors, dentists, nurses and clinical pharmacists
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Most courses teaching cosmetic skin treatments show you how to use one brand of product in one day. With us, you’ll learn the overarching principles of achieving and maintaining skin health using a range of treatment modalities and active ingredients, including:
- The principles of skin rejuvenation treatments and bespoke treatment planning
- How to perform professional patient assessments including skin analysis with and without a device
- Safe microneedling techniques, including with mesotherapy additions
- How to build safe management plans for hyperpigmentation and manage skin of colour
- Proper use of very superficial, superficial and medium-depth peels - AHA, BHA, Retinol and TCA
- Safe Profhilo®, mesotherapy and skin management plans
- Single skin treatments plus when and how to combine treatments
- Contraindications, potential complications and how to avoid them.
You'll find more information at the bottom of this page on each section.
This breadth of knowledge will not only make you a safe and confident aesthetics practitioner but will also allow you to make informed choices when selecting which treatments and products to include in your business
As the first step in your Cosmetic Dermatology Course, you'll complete our initial Cosmetic Dermatology Foundation Training. Completing this will unlock the rest of your training sessions and prepare you for what's to come!
