This comprehensive microneedling course is designed for licensed professionals who want to expand their skills and offer advanced skin rejuvenation treatments. 

During microneedling, a single-use tip containing sterile needles is glided across the epidermis to create microchannels. These microchannels stimualte our skin's natural healing response, which activates and promotes collagen production. These microchannels stay open for a short period of time, which allows active ingredients to be delivered into the epidermis. 

The course covers the science behind microneedling, proper techniques, safety protocols, contraindications, and post-treatment care. Hands-on training ensures students gain confidence in performing microneedling procedures effectively and safely.

Please be prepared to pair up and work on each other. Please discontinue use of AHA/BHA/Retinols at least 48 hours prior. Please do not have professional services including Botox or Filler for at least 2 weeks beforehand.
