Paramedical & Scalp Micro-pigmentation Training

Micropigmentation/Paramedical Permanent Makeup is the implantation of pigment within the skin in a safe and sterile environment by our highly skilled, Board Certified, and nationally recognized experts. Permanent makeup provides a finishing touch to surgical procedures, camouflaging scars and burns, and breast reconstruction. Micropigmentation’s ability to break up scar tissue and color it to match your natural skin tone better improves your appearance and gives you renewed confidence in your appearance.

Areola and Nipple Restoration is for survivors of breast cancer who have undergone mastectomies, or who may have irregular or fading areolas, permanent paramedical breast restoration can be life-changing. Essentially, areola restoration is a tattoo. Techniques may include a 3-D effect that gives the illusion of protrusion. Restoring the natural beauty of the breast helps women regain their confidence. The procedure may qualify to be covered by health insurance.

Scalp Micropigmentation is a permanent cosmetic procedure for women and men with hair loss, and visible scars from a hair transplant procedure, or as an alternative to hair transplants altogether. It is also used to give Alopecia sufferers something that was once theirs: the appearance of a full head of hair. This procedure has become popular over the years because of its relatively low cost, minimal downtime, and realistic-looking results. With this procedure, scalp micropigmentation covers bald areas by mimicking hair stubble. This process creates a more youthful appearance by giving the illusion of a full head of hair with a fashionably “shaved” haircut. It is also beneficial for men and women with long, thinning hair because it gives the look of thicker and/or denser hair at the root. Some patients combine scalp micropigmentation with hair transplantation.

Course requirements: Applicant must hold and present a current Cosmetology or Esthetician license. Must be 18 years or older.

Dermaplaning Course

Our Dermaplaning Course is an intensive advanced facial skincare training course that will teach you to deliver these in-demand treatments with confidence. Dermaplaning offers deep exfoliation removing dead skin cells from the upper layer of the surface of the skin using a surgical scalpel. This gentle ‘shaving’ of the skin surface can also remove fine vellus hair (fuzz) from the face giving a renewed and glowing appearance to the skin. Dermaplaning is only completed on the face and is not used to shape or remove brow hair. Perfect for those with dry, mature or congested/problematic skin to give clearer, smoother skin. It is also ideal for those unable to receive abrasive forms of exfoliation like microdermabrasion, such as those with very sensitive skin, redness, rosacea, visible facial veins or otherwise contra-indicated to other treatments such as chemical peels for example pregnant clients. We divide the clinic into two labs:

Lab 1

  • The educational objectives of the Clinic:
  • Skin Anatomy
  • Proper Hand-tool Selection
  • Sanitation
  • Pre and Post Treatment Advice
  • Face Mapping

Lab 2

  • Client Forms
  • Post Procedure regiment
  • Live model demonstration of dermaplane by the student (under guided supervision)

Course requirements: Applicant must hold and present a current Cosmetology or Esthetician license. Must be 18 years or older.
