Renew. Firm. Rejuvenate.
Advance your skincare career with Delmar College’s Advanced Skin Therapy: Microneedling Certificate.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to support the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production. This popular service can help improve the appearance of uneven texture, acne scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and hyperpigmentation while promoting firmer, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
Through flexible online theory and hands-on practical training, you’ll build the confidence and professional skills needed to perform safe, customized microneedling treatments.
