Advanced Course

Already certified and want to grow your skill set? We offer focused courses for working professionals:

Areola Micropigmentation

Areola micropigmentation is an advanced PMU procedure used to recreate the natural appearance of the areola after breast reconstruction, helping to minimize scars and restore the client’s self-confidence. This two-day advanced class is designed for permanent cosmetic technicians and qualified professionals such as estheticians, doctors, nurses, and other medical practitioners. To enroll, you must have completed Permanent Cosmetics Primary Training and have at least two years of practice. The program includes a live model demonstration by the instructor, hands-on practice with a live model, and concludes with a final test and certification.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation procedure that uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently remove the skin’s top layer along with vellus hair. This treatment provides deeper product penetration, reduces the appearance of acne scars and fine lines, and reveals a smoother, more radiant layer of skin, all with instant results and no downtime. Our one-day class includes hands-on practice with a live model, followed by a final test and certification.

Microneedling

Microblading is a form of permanent makeup performed with a manual, disposable handheld tool composed of very fine needles (microblade) used to hand-draw each individual hair while simultaneously implanting pigment into the skin. This technique creates extremely fine, natural-looking hair strokes that mimic the natural direction, thickness, and length of your brows.
