What you’ll learn
A beginner course, taught in person at our East Tamaki academy.
“By the end you'll be able to analyse a client's skin, recommend the right treatments and homecare, and perform all five treatments confidently. The course builds in sequence, so nothing is assumed. No prior experience required.”
Skin is where the most loyal clients are built. A client who trusts you with their skin books a treatment plan, not a one-off appointment, and buys their homecare from you too.
This nine-day course is the full pathway into skin, taking you from the foundations to five of the most requested in-clinic treatments. You'll start with the science: advanced anatomy of the skin, skin types and conditions, Fitzpatrick skin types and melanin, and how UV affects the skin. From there you'll learn product types and active ingredients, how to perform a thorough skin analysis, and how to build a tailored treatment and homecare plan for each client.
You'll then build through the treatments in order: professional facials with steaming, exfoliation and extractions; facial cupping and massage for lymphatic drainage; dermaplaning; chemical peel selection and application; and microneedling, starting on a standard pen before progressing to the TGA-listed EPN Pen, which combines microneedling with electroporation for deeper absorption of active ingredients. For each one you'll cover contraindications, pre- and post-care and troubleshooting, and you'll watch a live demonstration before practising on live models.
We finish on the business side: pricing your treatments profitably, retailing homecare, and setting yourself up for success in the beauty industry.
