What you’ll learn
An intermediate course, taught in person at our East Tamaki academy.
“By the end you'll be able to carry out an advanced skin analysis, build a treatment plan, and perform tailored microneedling and electroporation treatments with confidence. Prior skin knowledge is required. We recommend completing our Foundations of Skin & Facials course first, or you can enrol with an existing skin or beauty therapy qualification. Proof of prior skills required.”
Microneedling is one of the most in-demand skin treatments right now because it delivers visible results on texture, scarring, fine lines and pigmentation. Clients book it as a course rather than a one-off, which makes it one of the most valuable services on a skin menu.
This intermediate course builds on your skin foundations and takes your knowledge to an advanced level. You'll go deeper into the anatomy of the skin, Fitzpatrick skin types and melanin, and how UV affects the skin, then learn to assess and treat the concerns clients most often come in with: acne, pigmentation, scarring and ageing. You'll work with advanced active ingredients and learn to plan a course of treatment around each client's goals.
From there you'll learn microneedling step by step, starting on a standard pen to build control and consistent technique before progressing to the EPN Pen, a TGA-listed professional device that combines microneedling with electroporation. You'll learn what microneedling does in the skin and why it works, how electroporation helps active ingredients absorb more deeply, and how to set needle depth, speed and electroporation level for each client and concern. You'll also cover serum selection and which clients are unsuitable for electrical treatments. After a live demonstration, you'll practise on live models with a range of skin concerns. Contraindications, pre- and post-care and salon-standard hygiene are covered throughout.
