Integrated Microneedling Certification Course:
The Integrated Live Course, also featured online, offers knowledge beyond the basic training provided by companies selling devices. It is independent, unbiased, non-product aligned training, and contains most of what one needs to know about needling and skin care. It includes a live demonstration of roller and electronic device techniques. (Videos are used where local regulations prohibit live demonstration.) While receiving all the necessary basic information to treat patients, until one becomes well-versed and familiar with all the subject matter, it may be difficult for some to pull all the information together when faced with a particular problem they need to treat, which prompted the following course creation: Clinical Application of Microneedling Course.
Clinical Application of Microneedling Certification Course:
This Clinical Live Course is designed to take clinicians to the next level in both clinical and treatment knowledge. The goal is for clinicians to attain the highest level of knowledge in microneedling to maximize patient outcomes and safety. This is an accelerated course, and attendance assumes a basic foundational level of knowledge which is made possible by the completion of the Online Microneedling Course (https://needlingguide.com/online-courses/), or previous attendance of an Integrated Microneedling Course.
This class offers information in a way that has practical application as it pertains to diagnosis and treatment. More specifically, clinicians will learn how to approach antiaging (wrinkles and hyperpigmentation), acne, scars, as well as pitfalls with rosacea and sensitive skin. Hair restoration and stretch marks are covered briefly. All forms of treatment are considered for these conditions, not just microneedling. It includes a live demonstration of roller and electronic device techniques. (Videos where local regulations prohibit live demonstration.)
