SKIN RESURFACING TRAINING COURSE

During this two-day course, we take an in-depth look into the tissue and how creating controlled injuries stimulates new, healthy skin.

The student will be exposed to the hands on treatment of:

• Acne Scarring
• Stretch Marks
• Uneven Skin Texture
• Pigmentation
• Deep Wrinkles
• Tattoo Ink

We start off the day with theory, where we learn about the physics behind the machines/devices and how the treatments work.  The second part of the day is fast-paced, back-to-back treatments on patients. You will be working side by side with a Professional Laser Technician whom specializes in skin resurfacing.

Course Length:

2 Day, 16-Hours 9am-5pm

Skin Resurfacing class is held once a month and consists of two eight-hour days with back-to-back patients to optimize your training and give you the most hands on experience.  If our scheduled training dates do not work with your schedule, we try our best to accommodate a private course.

What Devices Will I Train On?

Skin Resurfacing class includes 2 common modalities used to resurface the skin and found in most Medical Spas and Dermatology Offices.

2 days of training includes Fractional Radio Frequency. This is not a laser but uses radio frequency energy to deeply penetrate fractions of the tissue, (creating micro-injuries) while allowing the other tissues to remain unaffected. This delivery method of energy allows for deeper penetration and a faster healing time.  Other manufacturer names or terms that uses the same technology would be: Fraxel, Fractionated, DOT therapy.

Day 2 also includes training on the 2940nm Erbium Nd: YAG Laser. Also known as a laser facial peel, this device is able to remove layers of damaged, wrinkled or scarred skin.
