Course Outline
RF Microneedling
RF Microneedling is a non-surgical, minimally invasive skin rejuvenation technique that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. This treatment addresses a range of skin concerns, including uneven skin tone, fine lines, large pores, and facial skin laxity, helping to improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin.
Laser Skin Tightening
Laser skin tightening enhances the color and texture of your skin without surgery. It reverses the visible effects of sun exposure, also known as photoaging, often seen on the face, neck, hands, or chest. The procedure helps improve skin elasticity and restores a youthful look.
Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing precisely removes skin layers to reveal smoother, younger-looking skin. The treatment stimulates the growth of new skin cells, which tighten and improve the skin's appearance. The procedure may last between 30 minutes to two hours and requires a healing period with proper sun protection and post-treatment care.
Hydrafacial MD
Hydrafacial is a multi-step facial that cleanses, exfoliates, and extracts impurities, followed by the infusion of customized serums into the skin for deep hydration and rejuvenation. This gentle, non-invasive treatment is safe for all skin types, providing antioxidant protection, hydration, and improved skin texture.
Body Contouring
Body contouring techniques, taught with FDA-approved devices, help reduce stubborn fat cells using non-invasive technologies such as thermal treatments, sound waves, and muscle stimulation. Popular methods include cryolipolysis, laser fat reduction, and ultrasound fat reduction, offering a variety of ways to shape and tone the body without the need for invasive procedures.
