What You'll Learn
In the practical clinics of the Undergraduate Certificate in Laser and Dermal Therapy Essentials, you will gain hands-on experience with the following treatments, technologies, and modalities:
-
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that uses a minimally abrasive instrument to exfoliate the outermost layer of skin cells, improving skin texture and appearance.
-
Hydrodermabrasion is a similar treatment to microdermabrasion, but it uses water and oxygen to gently exfoliate and hydrate the skin, leaving it softer and smoother.
-
Chemical peels involve applying a solution to the skin that causes it to exfoliate, revealing smoother, brighter skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
-
Laser/IPL hair reduction uses targeted light energy to damage the hair, reducing hair growth in the treated area.
-
Electrical facial treatments involve using low-level electrical currents to stimulate and improve circulation, or as a anti germicidal, resulting in a brighter, more toned complexion.
-
Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system, helping to reduce swelling, improve circulation, and boost the immune system. It is often used as a pre and post-operative treatment or for people with lymphedema.
