Microneedling

Microneedling is a procedure that inserts microscopic punctures on the surface of the skin. This treatment restores a youthful, plump, and healthy look to a patient’s face and is the latest trend in skin rejuvenation to fight against aging effects.

Microneedling Courses prepare estheticians to:

  • Identify the clinical uses of Microneedling
  • Identify contraindications
  • Understand liability issues
  • Explain pre-treatment and post-treatment care
  • And More!

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is an ideal solution for clients looking for an effective treatment with no adverse effects or downtime for recovery. This procedure is simple and painless, making it a common and highly sought-after treatment.

Dermaplaning is a safe, painless procedure that exfoliates the surface of the skin while removing small, fine hairs (called vellus) many refer to as peach fuzz.

Dermaplaning Courses cover topics including:
  • Standardized procedures and protocols
  • Pre-treatment and post-treatment care instructions
  • Skin analysis
  • Hands-on techniques
  • And more!

Advanced Peels

Chemical peels can be light, moderate, or deep. As a licensed esthetician in Cape Coral, FL, your state license will likely limit you to light and moderate peels.

This program includes both hands-on training and classroom work, explores different types of chemical peels and their differences and functions, along with contraindications to treatment and the management of adverse side effects.

Microblading Course

The latest fad in the makeup world is the focus on eyebrows. With the makeup industry quickly rising and becoming more and more popular, people have become less satisfied with their natural eyebrows. While simple makeup fixes such as pencils and pomades can temporarily fix this issue, people still desire a way to achieve an ideal eyebrow that won’t have to be applied daily. Microblading is the answer. This technique is a simpler and less invasive form of tattooing where pigment is implemented under the skin in the form of small hair strokes. This gives the effect of actual eyebrow hairs. The results of microblading can last up to three years with proper touch ups every six months to a year. Because upkeep is minimal and no daily makeup is required, microblading is a highly demanded procedure. With this workshop, you will learn to master this technique in order to give your patients the eyebrow shape and fullness they’ve always dreamed of!

Fibroblast Skin Tightening Course

Plasma Skin Tightening is the next big thing in beauty. Did you know skincare and anti-aging is the biggest market in the beauty industry? If you are looking for a great opportunity to boost your earnings for the long-term, then Plasma Skin Tightening is for you!

When the skin is exposed to plasma energy, it goes through the process of sublimation (the action of turning matter from solid to gas, bypassing the liquid stage).

In other words, we are ‘evaporating’ the excess tissue without the application of excess heat and in a very superficial manner. This sublimation effect causes an instant contraction of the tissue, eliminating wrinkles and sagging skin. This them stimulates skin regeneration and collagen production.

We are proud to bring you education and products of the highest quality in Plasma Skin Tightening. If you would like to get qualified in performing this great treatment, look no further then here at Gulf Coast Academy.
