Advanced Chemical Peels: Microdermabrasion Peels (2 CE Hours) F25C
This course is approved for continuing education by the NCEA Commission on Accreditation (COA) and by state licensing boards in D.C., Illinois, Iowa, Oregon and Florida. (Please click this link to see specific information about State Requirements for Estheticians & Cosmetologists.)
In this CE course on microdermabrasion peels, Malinda McHenry, demonstrates complete protocols and step-by-step instructions on how to provide Lactic Acid and Salicylic Acid Peels (under a Wood’s lamp) with microdermabrasion. A Micro-Sal peel is ideal for oily skin, deep scars, and hyperpigmentation. A Lactic Micro peel expedites the benefits of multiple lactic peels. She helps you properly assess your client’s peel requests and choose the appropriate peel, based on the client’s Fitzpatrick type (skin’s ability to produce pigment), Glogau classification (skin elasticity), and desired results. Malinda also walks aestheticians through basic chemistry regarding pH and percentages of the peeling agents, products and supplies, benefits and contraindications, skin analysis, timing based on erythema and client feedback, neutralizing, recommended treatment series, expected results, and post-treatment care. She also discusses how to deal with raised moles and cold sores.
This course is worth 2 CE hours.
