Medical Grade Hands-On

Chemical Peel, Microdermabrasion, Microneedling, and Facial Rejuvenation 1-Day Training

Our course is very complete and detailed, with written protocols for every step in each procedure, incuding the opportunity to perform these hands-on procedures. The procedures taught in this course include medical grade chemical peels, microdermabrasion, micro needling, and more.

The Comprehensive Botox Workshop, Dermal Filler Workshop and Facial Aesthetic Training programs are scheduled on consecutive days to allow you to maximize your education in relation to aesthetics. Click on these programs to learn more.

Medical grade chemical peels are still considered the gold standard among dermatologists due to their effective and controlled results. Chemical peels are an effective treatment for skin conditions such as solar lentigos, age spots, and other pigmentation of the face, décolleté, and hands. Our Facial Aesthetic Training will teach you the various protocols associated with the different types of acids as well as instruction in performing microdermabrasion (micropeel), including micro needling training. Physicians will also learn about the importance of integrating retail products into their aesthetic practice as a means of benefiting your patients while providing an additional monthly revenue stream.

Success Stories

Witness the inspiring firsthand accounts from Empire students, demonstrating that with unwavering determination, success is not only achievable but inevitable.

You will receive complete protocols for micro needling either by needle pen or needle dermal rollers. This procedure allows for correction of static rhytids, facial rejuvenation, and collagen remodeling for damaged skin tissue due to UV damage or other signs of aging. The hands-on portion of the program training includes the needle pen and all sizing charts needed for clearance of:

  • Acne Scarring
  • Linear and Boxcar scars
  • Skin Laxity / UV damage
  • Decollete Rejuvenation
  • Stubborn static wrinkles (rhytids)

Micro needling can be a stand-alone procedure or conjunctive procedure to be used in combination with Botox, Dermal Fillers, or Platelet Rich Plasma. The mechanical results from micro needling compare favorably to ablative laser energy type devices and does not have the same downtime or adverse results.

During the Facial Aesthetics program you will learn the various skin classifications (i.e. Fitzpatrick, Burton Scale) and their importance as they relates to each procedure. Attendees will learn the various protocols associated with AHA-Free Acids, BHA, and caustic acids as well as the complications that can arise from performing these medical grade peels. Different forms of microdermabrasion technologies are also discussed, and attendees will have the opportunity to perform microdermabrasion during the hands-on sessions of the aesthetic training.

Chemical peels and exfoliation treatments remain the most popular aesthetic treatments. Learn the difference between “day spa” peels and medical grade chemical peels, and learn how these treatments can correct a number of skin disorders in addition to rejuvenating the skin, rebuilding collagen, and adding density to the skin. These procedures are sold in packages, but the maintenance of a patient’s skin creates a long-term commitment between a doctor and patient.

After completing the facial aesthetic training seminar, you will know how to determine which peel or process would best suit a particular patient. You will also learn about the different classifications of chemical peels, their ingredients, and which peel will best suit each skin type or medical condition.

In addition to this training, you will learn how to explain to your patients the difference between medical grade cosmeceuticals and over the counter skin care products. By adding cosmeceuticals or a prescription skin care product line to your office, you will create an additional revenue stream while benefiting your patients with these services. Many of these physician-only skin care product lines are only available to be sold in medical offices by medical professionals.

Equivalent to the Comprehensive Botox and Dermal Filler Workshops, the Facial Aesthetic Training is not a demonstration-only course. Attendees will be required to perform the various peels, microdermabrasion, and micro needling procedures on actual patients. Empire will also provide written material that outlines these processes.
