Microdermabrasion Diploma

This Microdermabrasion Diploma is ideal for beauty therapists looking to expand their repertoire and offer a service that will keep their clients consistently coming back for more.  During this course, you’ll learn how to perform non-invasive microdermabrasion treatments that exfoliate your client’s skin simply and quickly. And with a period of 14 days between sessions, clients will return to you regularly for further treatments.   Once you have successfully completed your course, you will be able to obtain professional insurance from Towergate, allowing you to offer this treatment to your clients. You must be over 18 to obtain professional indemnity insurance.  Why offer microdermabrasion treatments?  Microdermabrasion essentially removes the top layer of skin as a treatment for the following conditions: 

• Reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, age spots, and hyperpigmentation. 

• Removes blackheads, swollen pores, and uneven skin texture and tone.  

• Helps tackle acne and related scarring. 

Following a microdermabrasion treatment, your client’s skin will recover within just a few hours and it will absorb skincare products more effectively.
