Advanced Skin Therapies: Microdermabrasion & Hydradermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a gentle exfoliation treatment that helps smooth the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and brighten overall tone. Students will learn how to safely use diamond tip or crystal systems to deliver visible results while supporting client comfort and skin health.
Students will also receive certification in Hydradermabrasion. Theory and quotas will be completed using HydraFacial equipment; however, independent HydraFacial certification can only be completed directly through the HydraFacial company.

Advanced Skin Therapies: Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is an advanced exfoliation technique that uses a sterile blade to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair (vellus hair), often referred to as peach fuzz. This treatment leaves the skin looking smooth and glowing while supporting better product absorption. Dermaplaning is a popular add-on service and a client favourite.
