  • Program Overview
    CoolContouring® is a nonsurgical fat reduction treatment that uses freezing technology to eliminate stubborn areas of fat. Utilizing the process technically known as apoptosis or programmed cell death, CoolContouring® has the ability to target smaller areas of fat such as the abdomen, inner and outer thighs, knees, upper arms, double chin, love handles and more. By freezing areas of fat beneath the skin known as hypodermis, apoptosis is induced and fat cells, once destroyed, are eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system. CoolContouring® requires no anaesthesia, no incisions, no injections and no downtime, no needles, no special diets, and no supplements needed during the process. Trainees will review anatomy and physiology of skin with emphasis of adipose tissue, fat metabolism and break down, lymphatic system, apoptosis, patient selection, contraindications, alternative fat reduction techniques, how to achieve the best results, patient before and after care, CoolContouring® / FatFreeze technique and how to minimize possible side effects. CoolContouring® results look natural and can be seen as early as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results after one to three months. CoolContouring® is not technique dependent and requires no staff time once the patient is set up and the treatment is underway. It is designed for use in a medical office specializing in aesthetic procedures. The CoolContouring® procedure is the only, non-invasive procedure that uses advanced cooling technology to gently and effectively target and eliminate fat in specific areas of a patient’s body through a proprietary technology called FatFreeze Body Slimming.

  • Examples of treatments you can perform on clients after the training:
  • What You Will Learn:
    You will learn the technique to implement pigment into the skin with a manual tool. The tool itself does not need any power to work. The manual tool has a fixed small disposable blade with various amounts of needles. The needles are thinner than those used in machines. They are stable and everything is done with hand movement only. You will learn to control the depth of the pigment injection. It will not reach the deepest layer of dermis, producing an effect of extremely fine and natural looking hair. The procedure is less painful and is done faster than with a machine. You will learn how to perform the procedure in such a way that clients feel less pain. On the contrary of machine pigment microblading that draw several times on the same spot to achieve the result, we teach our trainees how to do it manually to obtain a very natural result, which does not look like a usual tattoo as hairs are “drawn” in their natural direction. In our training course we cover techniques that make the procedure cheaper to use a manual too

Combining Hyaluronic Acid and vitamins Treatment protocol & sanitary and infection control Contraindications Pre- and Post-treatment What to look for in a Microneedling system? Combining Microneedling with other treatment modalities Hands-on Practical Training & Certification
  • Prerequisites:
    Medical background is highly desirable and necessary to perform Microneedling beyond the epidermis layer of skin that proceeds deeper into the dermis layer. For non-medical attendees at least high school diploma and English proficiency is required. Performing Microneedling by non-medical candidates must be "limited to the superficial epidermis layer". Cosmetic Micro-needling uses short needles—less than 1.00 mm—to stimulate the skin’s outer layers, the epidermis and upper dermis. By contrast, medical micro-needling uses longer needles—up to 2.5 mm and beyond. Such procedure must be performed by licensed medical professionals.
  • Certificate:
    Graduates will write a short exam at the end receive a certificate form the BC Academy of Medical Aesthetics & Skin Care within one week. A one-year membership from the Canadian Association of Medical Spas & Aesthetic Surgeons may also be granted to qualified graduates.
  • Microneedling is ideal for:
    Minimizing fine lines and wrinkles Tightening and lift skin Improving skin volume Minimizing scars & stretch marks Refining large dilated pores Reducing hyperpigmentation Giving the skin a more youthful appearance Reducing Acne scars

  • How it Works:
    Microneedling is a great procedure that results in skin rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction, pigmentation removal, and acne scar treatment. Microneedling causes micro-holes on the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin and triggering the natural healing response. Hundreds of mall controlled micro-wounds close after a 24 hours and stimulate the body’s spontaneous healing process through collage producing skin cells called Fibroblasts, which cause new collagen to form. The result is a tighter, elevated, firmer, rejuvenated and more youthful skin. Within few hours, the micro-wounds close and the healing process begin, Using special combos that will be discussed in the course you can also reduce Hyperpigmentation and lighten up the skin for more glowing and brighter appearance.
  • Why 1-day training?
    It is an intense, comprehensive, and focused yet quick training and certification course for candidates who want to learn how to perform the procedure to achieve an effective facial skin tightening and collagen boosting rejuvenation.

  • Prerequisite:
    Licensed MD, ND, DDS, DMD, RN, LPN
  • Certificate:
    Graduates will receive a certificate from the BC Academy of Medical Aesthetics & Skin Care and a one-year membership from the Canadian Association of Medical Spas & Aesthetic Surgeons.
  • How does the Procedure work
    It involves passing an electronic needle-rolling device over the affected area. The needles penetrate into the second layer of the skin, where the hair follicles are pierced creating thousands of miniature skin wounds. A vial of blood is then drawn from your body and centrifugally spun to separate the platelets. The Platelet Rich Plasma containing concentrated amounts of growth factors is then infused directly into the scalp. The skin remains intact and is not damaged therefore promoting constructive regeneration. As the skin begins its wound healing process these growth factors are present in the follicular bulge area, where stem cells are found. This activates the proliferative phase of the hair cycle, resulting in new thicker, hair growth.
  • Examples of treatments you can perform on clients after the training:
  • By the end of the training process, attendees will:
    1. Learn kinds of skin imperfections, tissue damage, aesthetic enhancements, and pain areas that can be improved using the available PRP technology and injection techniques. 2.

  • Program Overview
    CoolContouring® is a nonsurgical fat reduction treatment that uses freezing technology to eliminate stubborn areas of fat. Utilizing the process technically known as apoptosis or programmed cell death, CoolContouring® has the ability to target smaller areas of fat such as the abdomen, inner and outer thighs, knees, upper arms, double chin, love handles and more. By freezing areas of fat beneath the skin known as hypodermis, apoptosis is induced and fat cells, once destroyed, are eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system. CoolContouring® requires no anaesthesia, no incisions, no injections and no downtime, no needles, no special diets, and no supplements needed during the process. Trainees will review anatomy and physiology of skin with emphasis of adipose tissue, fat metabolism and break down, lymphatic system, apoptosis, patient selection, contraindications, alternative fat reduction techniques, how to achieve the best results, patient before and after care, CoolContouring® / FatFreeze technique and how to minimize possible side effects. CoolContouring® results look natural and can be seen as early as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results after one to three months. CoolContouring® is not technique dependent and requires no staff time once the patient is set up and the treatment is underway. It is designed for use in a medical office specializing in aesthetic procedures. The CoolContouring® procedure is the only, non-invasive procedure that uses advanced cooling technology to gently and effectively target and eliminate fat in specific areas of a patient’s body through a proprietary technology called FatFreeze Body Slimming.

  • Examples of treatments you can perform on clients after the training:
  • What You Will Learn:
    You will learn the technique to implement pigment into the skin with a manual tool. The tool itself does not need any power to work. The manual tool has a fixed small disposable blade with various amounts of needles. The needles are thinner than those used in machines. They are stable and everything is done with hand movement only. You will learn to control the depth of the pigment injection. It will not reach the deepest layer of dermis, producing an effect of extremely fine and natural looking hair. The procedure is less painful and is done faster than with a machine. You will learn how to perform the procedure in such a way that clients feel less pain. On the contrary of machine pigment microblading that draw several times on the same spot to achieve the result, we teach our trainees how to do it manually to obtain a very natural result, which does not look like a usual tattoo as hairs are “drawn” in their natural direction. In our training course we cover techniques that make the procedure cheaper to use a manual too

    What is Microneedling and the science behind it? What symptoms can be treated using Microneedling? Safety and Side effects Targeted skin cells & growth factors What is Collagen Induction Therapy ? Combining Hyaluronic Acid and vitamins Treatment protocol & sanitary and infection control Contraindications Pre- and Post-treatment What to look for in a Microneedling system? Combining Microneedling with other treatment modalities Hands-on Practical Training & Certification
  • Prerequisites:
    Medical background is highly desirable and necessary to perform Microneedling beyond the epidermis layer of skin that proceeds deeper into the dermis layer. For non-medical attendees at least high school diploma and English proficiency is required. Performing Microneedling by non-medical candidates must be "limited to the superficial epidermis layer". Cosmetic Micro-needling uses short needles—less than 1.00 mm—to stimulate the skin’s outer layers, the epidermis and upper dermis. By contrast, medical micro-needling uses longer needles—up to 2.5 mm and beyond. Such procedure must be performed by licensed medical professionals.
  • Certificate:
    Graduates will write a short exam at the end receive a certificate form the BC Academy of Medical Aesthetics & Skin Care within one week. A one-year membership from the Canadian Association of Medical Spas & Aesthetic Surgeons may also be granted to qualified graduates.
  • Microneedling is ideal for:
    Minimizing fine lines and wrinkles Tightening and lift skin Improving skin volume Minimizing scars & stretch marks Refining large dilated pores Reducing hyperpigmentation Giving the skin a more youthful appearance Reducing Acne scars

  • How it Works:
    Microneedling is a great procedure that results in skin rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction, pigmentation removal, and acne scar treatment. Microneedling causes micro-holes on the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin and triggering the natural healing response. Hundreds of mall controlled micro-wounds close after a 24 hours and stimulate the body’s spontaneous healing process through collage producing skin cells called Fibroblasts, which cause new collagen to form. The result is a tighter, elevated, firmer, rejuvenated and more youthful skin. Within few hours, the micro-wounds close and the healing process begin, Using special combos that will be discussed in the course you can also reduce Hyperpigmentation and lighten up the skin for more glowing and brighter appearance.
  • Why 1-day training?
    It is an intense, comprehensive, and focused yet quick training and certification course for candidates who want to learn how to perform the procedure to achieve an effective facial skin tightening and collagen boosting rejuvenation.

  • PRP to treat Hair Loss:
    Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) combined with Medical Skin Needling is a great natural procedure that uses your body’s own plasma to stimulate the hair follicles encouraging new hair growth. This procedure is effective in the treatment of Alopecia

    Licensed MD, ND, DDS, DMD, RN, LPN
  • Certificate:
    Graduates will receive a certificate from the BC Academy of Medical Aesthetics & Skin Care and a one-year membership from the Canadian Association of Medical Spas & Aesthetic Surgeons.
  • How does the Procedure work
    It involves passing an electronic needle-rolling device over the affected area. The needles penetrate into the second layer of the skin, where the hair follicles are pierced creating thousands of miniature skin wounds. A vial of blood is then drawn from your body and centrifugally spun to separate the platelets. The Platelet Rich Plasma containing concentrated amounts of growth factors is then infused directly into the scalp. The skin remains intact and is not damaged therefore promoting constructive regeneration. As the skin begins its wound healing process these growth factors are present in the follicular bulge area, where stem cells are found. This activates the proliferative phase of the hair cycle, resulting in new thicker, hair growth.
  • Examples of treatments you can perform on clients after the training:
  • By the end of the training process, attendees will:
    1. Learn kinds of skin imperfections, tissue damage, aesthetic enhancements, and pain areas that can be improved using the available PRP technology and injection techniques. 2.

Combining Hyaluronic Acid and vitamins Treatment protocol & sanitary and infection control Contraindications Pre- and Post-treatment What to look for in a Microneedling system? Combining Microneedling with other treatment modalities Hands-on Practical Training & Certification
  • Prerequisites:
    Medical background is highly desirable and necessary to perform Microneedling beyond the epidermis layer of skin that proceeds deeper into the dermis layer. For non-medical attendees at least high school diploma and English proficiency is required. Performing Microneedling by non-medical candidates must be "limited to the superficial epidermis layer". Cosmetic Micro-needling uses short needles—less than 1.00 mm—to stimulate the skin’s outer layers, the epidermis and upper dermis. By contrast, medical micro-needling uses longer needles—up to 2.5 mm and beyond. Such procedure must be performed by licensed medical professionals.
  • Certificate:
    Graduates will write a short exam at the end receive a certificate form the BC Academy of Medical Aesthetics & Skin Care within one week. A one-year membership from the Canadian Association of Medical Spas & Aesthetic Surgeons may also be granted to qualified graduates.
  • Microneedling is ideal for:

  • How it Works:
    Microneedling is a great procedure that results in skin rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction, pigmentation removal, and acne scar treatment. Microneedling causes micro-holes on the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin and triggering the natural healing response. Hundreds of mall controlled micro-wounds close after a 24 hours and stimulate the body’s spontaneous healing process through collage producing skin cells called Fibroblasts, which cause new collagen to form. The result is a tighter, elevated, firmer, rejuvenated and more youthful skin. Within few hours, the micro-wounds close and the healing process begin, Using special combos that will be discussed in the course you can also reduce Hyperpigmentation and lighten up the skin for more glowing and brighter appearance.
  • Why 1-day training?
    It is an intense, comprehensive, and focused yet quick training and certification course for candidates who want to learn how to perform the procedure to achieve an effective facial skin tightening and collagen boosting rejuvenation.

  • PRP to treat Hair Loss:
    Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) combined with Medical Skin Needling is a great natural procedure that uses your body’s own plasma to stimulate the hair follicles encouraging new hair growth. This procedure is effective in the treatment of Alopecia
  • Prerequisite:
    Licensed MD, ND, DDS, DMD, RN, LPN
  • Certificate:
    Graduates will receive a certificate from the BC Academy of Medical Aesthetics & Skin Care and a one-year membership from the Canadian Association of Medical Spas & Aesthetic Surgeons.
  • How does the Procedure work
    It involves passing an electronic needle-rolling device over the affected area. The needles penetrate into the second layer of the skin, where the hair follicles are pierced creating thousands of miniature skin wounds. A vial of blood is then drawn from your body and centrifugally spun to separate the platelets. The Platelet Rich Plasma containing concentrated amounts of growth factors is then infused directly into the scalp. The skin remains intact and is not damaged therefore promoting constructive regeneration. As the skin begins its wound healing process these growth factors are present in the follicular bulge area, where stem cells are found. This activates the proliferative phase of the hair cycle, resulting in new thicker, hair growth.
  • Examples of treatments you can perform on clients after the training:
  • By the end of the training process, attendees will:

  • Program Overview
    CoolContouring® is a nonsurgical fat reduction treatment that uses freezing technology to eliminate stubborn areas of fat. Utilizing the process technically known as apoptosis or programmed cell death, CoolContouring® has the ability to target smaller areas of fat such as the abdomen, inner and outer thighs, knees, upper arms, double chin, love handles and more. By freezing areas of fat beneath the skin known as hypodermis, apoptosis is induced and fat cells, once destroyed, are eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system. CoolContouring® requires no anaesthesia, no incisions, no injections and no downtime, no needles, no special diets, and no supplements needed during the process. Trainees will review anatomy and physiology of skin with emphasis of adipose tissue, fat metabolism and break down, lymphatic system, apoptosis, patient selection, contraindications, alternative fat reduction techniques, how to achieve the best results, patient before and after care, CoolContouring® / FatFreeze technique and how to minimize possible side effects. CoolContouring® results look natural and can be seen as early as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results after one to three months. CoolContouring® is not technique dependent and requires no staff time once the patient is set up and the treatment is underway. It is designed for use in a medical office specializing in aesthetic procedures. The CoolContouring® procedure is the only, non-invasive procedure that uses advanced cooling technology to gently and effectively target and eliminate fat in specific areas of a patient’s body through a proprietary technology called FatFreeze Body Slimming.

  • Examples of treatments you can perform on clients after the training:
  • What You Will Learn:
    You will learn the technique to implement pigment into the skin with a manual tool. The tool itself does not need any power to work. The manual tool has a fixed small disposable blade with various amounts of needles. The needles are thinner than those used in machines. They are stable and everything is done with hand movement only. You will learn to control the depth of the pigment injection. It will not reach the deepest layer of dermis, producing an effect of extremely fine and natural looking hair. The procedure is less painful and is done faster than with a machine. You will learn how to perform the procedure in such a way that clients feel less pain. On the contrary of machine pigment microblading that draw several times on the same spot to achieve the result, we teach our trainees how to do it manually to obtain a very natural result, which does not look like a usual tattoo as hairs are “drawn” in their natural direction. In our training course we cover techniques that make the procedure cheaper to use a manual too

    Licensed MD, ND, DDS, DMD, RN, LPN
  • Certificate:
    Graduates will receive a certificate from the BC Academy of Medical Aesthetics & Skin Care and a one-year membership from the Canadian Association of Medical Spas & Aesthetic Surgeons.
  • How does the Procedure work
    It involves passing an electronic needle-rolling device over the affected area. The needles penetrate into the second layer of the skin, where the hair follicles are pierced creating thousands of miniature skin wounds. A vial of blood is then drawn from your body and centrifugally spun to separate the platelets. The Platelet Rich Plasma containing concentrated amounts of growth factors is then infused directly into the scalp. The skin remains intact and is not damaged therefore promoting constructive regeneration. As the skin begins its wound healing process these growth factors are present in the follicular bulge area, where stem cells are found. This activates the proliferative phase of the hair cycle, resulting in new thicker, hair growth.
  • Examples of treatments you can perform on clients after the training:

Course Description

In this certificate program you will be trained to use dermal fillers to restore youthful fullness to face and lips and enhance shallow contours or soften those facial creases and wrinkles. Dermal fillers have been called "liquid facelifts" because they offer many of the benefits of a surgical facelift without the downtime. Although they can't help with excess sagging skin, these soft tissue fillers can add more volume and provide immediate results at a lower cost than surgery.

  • Program Overview
    CoolContouring® is a nonsurgical fat reduction treatment that uses freezing technology to eliminate stubborn areas of fat. Utilizing the process technically known as apoptosis or programmed cell death, CoolContouring® has the ability to target smaller areas of fat such as the abdomen, inner and outer thighs, knees, upper arms, double chin, love handles and more. By freezing areas of fat beneath the skin known as hypodermis, apoptosis is induced and fat cells, once destroyed, are eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system. CoolContouring® requires no anaesthesia, no incisions, no injections and no downtime, no needles, no special diets, and no supplements needed during the process. Trainees will review anatomy and physiology of skin with emphasis of adipose tissue, fat metabolism and break down, lymphatic system, apoptosis, patient selection, contraindications, alternative fat reduction techniques, how to achieve the best results, patient before and after care, CoolContouring® / FatFreeze technique and how to minimize possible side effects. CoolContouring® results look natural and can be seen as early as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results after one to three months. CoolContouring® is not technique dependent and requires no staff time once the patient is set up and the treatment is underway. It is designed for use in a medical office specializing in aesthetic procedures. The CoolContouring® procedure is the only, non-invasive procedure that uses advanced cooling technology to gently and effectively target and eliminate fat in specific areas of a patient’s body through a proprietary technology called FatFreeze Body Slimming.

  • Examples of treatments you can perform on clients after the training:
  • What You Will Learn:
    You will learn the technique to implement pigment into the skin with a manual tool. The tool itself does not need any power to work. The manual tool has a fixed small disposable blade with various amounts of needles. The needles are thinner than those used in machines. They are stable and everything is done with hand movement only. You will learn to control the depth of the pigment injection. It will not reach the deepest layer of dermis, producing an effect of extremely fine and natural looking hair. The procedure is less painful and is done faster than with a machine. You will learn how to perform the procedure in such a way that clients feel less pain. On the contrary of machine pigment microblading that draw several times on the same spot to achieve the result, we teach our trainees how to do it manually to obtain a very natural result, which does not look like a usual tattoo as hairs are “drawn” in their natural direction. In our training course we cover techniques that make the procedure cheaper to use a manual too

Combining Hyaluronic Acid and vitamins Treatment protocol & sanitary and infection control Contraindications Pre- and Post-treatment What to look for in a Microneedling system? Combining Microneedling with other treatment modalities Hands-on Practical Training & Certification
  • Prerequisites:
    Medical background is highly desirable and necessary to perform Microneedling beyond the epidermis layer of skin that proceeds deeper into the dermis layer. For non-medical attendees at least high school diploma and English proficiency is required. Performing Microneedling by non-medical candidates must be "limited to the superficial epidermis layer". Cosmetic Micro-needling uses short needles—less than 1.00 mm—to stimulate the skin’s outer layers, the epidermis and upper dermis. By contrast, medical micro-needling uses longer needles—up to 2.5 mm and beyond. Such procedure must be performed by licensed medical professionals.
  • Certificate:
    Graduates will write a short exam at the end receive a certificate form the BC Academy of Medical Aesthetics & Skin Care within one week. A one-year membership from the Canadian Association of Medical Spas & Aesthetic Surgeons may also be granted to qualified graduates.
  • Microneedling is ideal for:

  • How it Works:
    Microneedling is a great procedure that results in skin rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction, pigmentation removal, and acne scar treatment. Microneedling causes micro-holes on the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin and triggering the natural healing response. Hundreds of mall controlled micro-wounds close after a 24 hours and stimulate the body’s spontaneous healing process through collage producing skin cells called Fibroblasts, which cause new collagen to form. The result is a tighter, elevated, firmer, rejuvenated and more youthful skin. Within few hours, the micro-wounds close and the healing process begin, Using special combos that will be discussed in the course you can also reduce Hyperpigmentation and lighten up the skin for more glowing and brighter appearance.
  • Why 1-day training?
    It is an intense, comprehensive, and focused yet quick training and certification course for candidates who want to learn how to perform the procedure to achieve an effective facial skin tightening and collagen boosting rejuvenation.

  • PRP to treat Hair Loss:
    Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) combined with Medical Skin Needling is a great natural procedure that uses your body’s own plasma to stimulate the hair follicles encouraging new hair growth. This procedure is effective in the treatment of Alopecia

    Licensed MD, ND, DDS, DMD, RN, LPN
  • Certificate:
    Graduates will receive a certificate from the BC Academy of Medical Aesthetics & Skin Care and a one-year membership from the Canadian Association of Medical Spas & Aesthetic Surgeons.
  • How does the Procedure work
    It involves passing an electronic needle-rolling device over the affected area. The needles penetrate into the second layer of the skin, where the hair follicles are pierced creating thousands of miniature skin wounds. A vial of blood is then drawn from your body and centrifugally spun to separate the platelets. The Platelet Rich Plasma containing concentrated amounts of growth factors is then infused directly into the scalp. The skin remains intact and is not damaged therefore promoting constructive regeneration. As the skin begins its wound healing process these growth factors are present in the follicular bulge area, where stem cells are found. This activates the proliferative phase of the hair cycle, resulting in new thicker, hair growth.

Course Description

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a high demand procedure that mingles advance technology with the body’s natural capability to heal itself. In this procedure the very own patient blood is separated into its active plasma and platelets parts that are then mixed with different enhancing serums and injected into the wrinkles, folds and areas that need to be rejuvenated. The concentrated platelets in PRP contain large amounts of growth factors and signaling proteins that promote collagen fibrillogenesis and regeneration of connective tissue. Platelet-rich Plasma Therapy is highly in demand because of its use in treating sports injuries in professional athletes. However, the benefits from these techniques reach more patients than just athletes. These same growth factors also have beneficial cosmetic applications, such as facial and skin rejuvenation as well as hair restoration. This workshop is not solely a lecture. Attendees will administer PRP to live models / patients. Cosmetic Platelet-rich Plasma workshop presented by the BC Academy of Medical Spa & Skin Care will teach you about the Aesthetic procedure commonly used for facial rejuvenation that clinically and scientifically is proven to be effective to reduce signs of aging skin. While PRP has shown to be effective in most bodily areas, our hands on training will focus on the most popularly requested treatment areas for aesthetics including: the jawline, face and skin, eyes, and cheek augmentation. You will learn techniques in skin enhancement that are easy to integrate into your business, inexpensive to implement, and can be beneficial to your aesthetic practice.

  • Program Overview
    CoolContouring® is a nonsurgical fat reduction treatment that uses freezing technology to eliminate stubborn areas of fat. Utilizing the process technically known as apoptosis or programmed cell death, CoolContouring® has the ability to target smaller areas of fat such as the abdomen, inner and outer thighs, knees, upper arms, double chin, love handles and more. By freezing areas of fat beneath the skin known as hypodermis, apoptosis is induced and fat cells, once destroyed, are eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system. CoolContouring® requires no anaesthesia, no incisions, no injections and no downtime, no needles, no special diets, and no supplements needed during the process. Trainees will review anatomy and physiology of skin with emphasis of adipose tissue, fat metabolism and break down, lymphatic system, apoptosis, patient selection, contraindications, alternative fat reduction techniques, how to achieve the best results, patient before and after care, CoolContouring® / FatFreeze technique and how to minimize possible side effects. CoolContouring® results look natural and can be seen as early as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results after one to three months. CoolContouring® is not technique dependent and requires no staff time once the patient is set up and the treatment is underway. It is designed for use in a medical office specializing in aesthetic procedures. The CoolContouring® procedure is the only, non-invasive procedure that uses advanced cooling technology to gently and effectively target and eliminate fat in specific areas of a patient’s body through a proprietary technology called FatFreeze Body Slimming.

  • Examples of treatments you can perform on clients after the training:
  • What You Will Learn:
    You will learn the technique to implement pigment into the skin with a manual tool. The tool itself does not need any power to work. The manual tool has a fixed small disposable blade with various amounts of needles. The needles are thinner than those used in machines. They are stable and everything is done with hand movement only. You will learn to control the depth of the pigment injection. It will not reach the deepest layer of dermis, producing an effect of extremely fine and natural looking hair. The procedure is less painful and is done faster than with a machine. You will learn how to perform the procedure in such a way that clients feel less pain. On the contrary of machine pigment microblading that draw several times on the same spot to achieve the result, we teach our trainees how to do it manually to obtain a very natural result, which does not look like a usual tattoo as hairs are “drawn” in their natural direction. In our training course we cover techniques that make the procedure cheaper to use a manual too

Combining Microneedling with other treatment modalities Hands-on Practical Training & Certification
  • Prerequisites:
    Medical background is highly desirable and necessary to perform Microneedling beyond the epidermis layer of skin that proceeds deeper into the dermis layer. For non-medical attendees at least high school diploma and English proficiency is required. Performing Microneedling by non-medical candidates must be "limited to the superficial epidermis layer". Cosmetic Micro-needling uses short needles—less than 1.00 mm—to stimulate the skin’s outer layers, the epidermis and upper dermis. By contrast, medical micro-needling uses longer needles—up to 2.5 mm and beyond. Such procedure must be performed by licensed medical professionals.
  • Certificate:
    Graduates will write a short exam at the end receive a certificate form the BC Academy of Medical Aesthetics & Skin Care within one week. A one-year membership from the Canadian Association of Medical Spas & Aesthetic Surgeons may also be granted to qualified graduates.

  • How it Works:
    Microneedling is a great procedure that results in skin rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction, pigmentation removal, and acne scar treatment. Microneedling causes micro-holes on the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin and triggering the natural healing response. Hundreds of mall controlled micro-wounds close after a 24 hours and stimulate the body’s spontaneous healing process through collage producing skin cells called Fibroblasts, which cause new collagen to form. The result is a tighter, elevated, firmer, rejuvenated and more youthful skin. Within few hours, the micro-wounds close and the healing process begin, Using special combos that will be discussed in the course you can also reduce Hyperpigmentation and lighten up the skin for more glowing and brighter appearance.

  • Program Overview
    CoolContouring® is a nonsurgical fat reduction treatment that uses freezing technology to eliminate stubborn areas of fat. Utilizing the process technically known as apoptosis or programmed cell death, CoolContouring® has the ability to target smaller areas of fat such as the abdomen, inner and outer thighs, knees, upper arms, double chin, love handles and more. By freezing areas of fat beneath the skin known as hypodermis, apoptosis is induced and fat cells, once destroyed, are eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system. CoolContouring® requires no anaesthesia, no incisions, no injections and no downtime, no needles, no special diets, and no supplements needed during the process. Trainees will review anatomy and physiology of skin with emphasis of adipose tissue, fat metabolism and break down, lymphatic system, apoptosis, patient selection, contraindications, alternative fat reduction techniques, how to achieve the best results, patient before and after care, CoolContouring® / FatFreeze technique and how to minimize possible side effects. CoolContouring® results look natural and can be seen as early as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results after one to three months. CoolContouring® is not technique dependent and requires no staff time once the patient is set up and the treatment is underway. It is designed for use in a medical office specializing in aesthetic procedures. The CoolContouring® procedure is the only, non-invasive procedure that uses advanced cooling technology to gently and effectively target and eliminate fat in specific areas of a patient’s body through a proprietary technology called FatFreeze Body Slimming.

  • Examples of treatments you can perform on clients after the training:
  • What You Will Learn:
    You will learn the technique to implement pigment into the skin with a manual tool. The tool itself does not need any power to work. The manual tool has a fixed small disposable blade with various amounts of needles. The needles are thinner than those used in machines. They are stable and everything is done with hand movement only. You will learn to control the depth of the pigment injection. It will not reach the deepest layer of dermis, producing an effect of extremely fine and natural looking hair. The procedure is less painful and is done faster than with a machine. You will learn how to perform the procedure in such a way that clients feel less pain. On the contrary of machine pigment microblading that draw several times on the same spot to achieve the result, we teach our trainees how to do it manually to obtain a very natural result, which does not look like a usual tattoo as hairs are “drawn” in their natural direction. In our training course we cover techniques that make the procedure cheaper to use a manual too

Combining Hyaluronic Acid and vitamins Treatment protocol & sanitary and infection control Contraindications Pre- and Post-treatment What to look for in a Microneedling system? Combining Microneedling with other treatment modalities Hands-on Practical Training & Certification
  • Prerequisites:
    Medical background is highly desirable and necessary to perform Microneedling beyond the epidermis layer of skin that proceeds deeper into the dermis layer. For non-medical attendees at least high school diploma and English proficiency is required. Performing Microneedling by non-medical candidates must be "limited to the superficial epidermis layer". Cosmetic Micro-needling uses short needles—less than 1.00 mm—to stimulate the skin’s outer layers, the epidermis and upper dermis. By contrast, medical micro-needling uses longer needles—up to 2.5 mm and beyond. Such procedure must be performed by licensed medical professionals.
  • Certificate:
    Graduates will write a short exam at the end receive a certificate form the BC Academy of Medical Aesthetics & Skin Care within one week. A one-year membership from the Canadian Association of Medical Spas & Aesthetic Surgeons may also be granted to qualified graduates.

  • How it Works:
    Microneedling is a great procedure that results in skin rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction, pigmentation removal, and acne scar treatment. Microneedling causes micro-holes on the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin and triggering the natural healing response. Hundreds of mall controlled micro-wounds close after a 24 hours and stimulate the body’s spontaneous healing process through collage producing skin cells called Fibroblasts, which cause new collagen to form. The result is a tighter, elevated, firmer, rejuvenated and more youthful skin. Within few hours, the micro-wounds close and the healing process begin, Using special combos that will be discussed in the course you can also reduce Hyperpigmentation and lighten up the skin for more glowing and brighter appearance.
  • Why 1-day training?

    Licensed MD, ND, DDS, DMD, RN, LPN
  • Certificate:
    Graduates will receive a certificate from the BC Academy of Medical Aesthetics & Skin Care and a one-year membership from the Canadian Association of Medical Spas & Aesthetic Surgeons.
  • How does the Procedure work
    It involves passing an electronic needle-rolling device over the affected area. The needles penetrate into the second layer of the skin, where the hair follicles are pierced creating thousands of miniature skin wounds. A vial of blood is then drawn from your body and centrifugally spun to separate the platelets. The Platelet Rich Plasma containing concentrated amounts of growth factors is then infused directly into the scalp. The skin remains intact and is not damaged therefore promoting constructive regeneration. As the skin begins its wound healing process these growth factors are present in the follicular bulge area, where stem cells are found. This activates the proliferative phase of the hair cycle, resulting in new thicker, hair growth.
  • Examples of treatments you can perform on clients after the training:
  • By the end of the training process, attendees will:

  • Examples of treatments you can perform on clients after the training:
  • What You Will Learn:
    You will learn the technique to implement pigment into the skin with a manual tool. The tool itself does not need any power to work. The manual tool has a fixed small disposable blade with various amounts of needles. The needles are thinner than those used in machines. They are stable and everything is done with hand movement only. You will learn to control the depth of the pigment injection. It will not reach the deepest layer of dermis, producing an effect of extremely fine and natural looking hair. The procedure is less painful and is done faster than with a machine. You will learn how to perform the procedure in such a way that clients feel less pain. On the contrary of machine pigment microblading that draw several times on the same spot to achieve the result, we teach our trainees how to do it manually to obtain a very natural result, which does not look like a usual tattoo as hairs are “drawn” in their natural direction. In our training course we cover techniques that make the procedure cheaper to use a manual too

    University Graduated, Medical Science Professionals.
  • Examples of treatments you can perform on clients after the training:
  • Number of attendees per session?
    Max. 4 seats.
  • Course Overview:
    What is Microneedling and the science behind it? What symptoms can be treated using Microneedling? Safety and Side effects Targeted skin cells & growth factors What is Collagen Induction Therapy ? Combining Hyaluronic Acid and vitamins Treatment protocol & sanitary and infection control Contraindications Pre- and Post-treatment What to look for in a Microneedling system? Combining Microneedling with other treatment modalities Hands-on Practical Training & Certification
  • Prerequisites:
    Medical background is highly desirable and necessary to perform Microneedling beyond the epidermis layer of skin that proceeds deeper into the dermis layer. For non-medical attendees at least high school diploma and English proficiency is required. Performing Microneedling by non-medical candidates must be "limited to the superficial epidermis layer". Cosmetic Micro-needling uses short needles—less than 1.00 mm—to stimulate the skin’s outer layers, the epidermis and upper dermis. By contrast, medical micro-needling uses longer needles—up to 2.5 mm and beyond. Such procedure must be performed by licensed medical professionals.
  • Certificate:
    Graduates will write a short exam at the end receive a certificate form the BC Academy of Medical Aesthetics & Skin Care within one week. A one-year membership from the Canadian Association of Medical Spas & Aesthetic Surgeons may also be granted to qualified graduates.
  • Microneedling is ideal for:
    Minimizing fine lines and wrinkles Tightening and lift skin Improving skin volume Minimizing scars & stretch marks Refining large dilated pores Reducing hyperpigmentation Giving the skin a more youthful appearance Reducing Acne scars

  • How it Works:
    Microneedling is a great procedure that results in skin rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction, pigmentation removal, and acne scar treatment. Microneedling causes micro-holes on the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin and triggering the natural healing response. Hundreds of mall controlled micro-wounds close after a 24 hours and stimulate the body’s spontaneous healing process through collage producing skin cells called Fibroblasts, which cause new collagen to form. The result is a tighter, elevated, firmer, rejuvenated and more youthful skin. Within few hours, the micro-wounds close and the healing process begin, Using special combos that will be discussed in the course you can also reduce Hyperpigmentation and lighten up the skin for more glowing and brighter appearance.
  • Why 1-day training?
    It is an intense, comprehensive, and focused yet quick training and certification course for candidates who want to learn how to perform the procedure to achieve an effective facial skin tightening and collagen boosting rejuvenation.

    Licensed MD, ND, DDS, DMD, RN, LPN
  • Certificate:
    Graduates will receive a certificate from the BC Academy of Medical Aesthetics & Skin Care and a one-year membership from the Canadian Association of Medical Spas & Aesthetic Surgeons.
  • How does the Procedure work
    It involves passing an electronic needle-rolling device over the affected area. The needles penetrate into the second layer of the skin, where the hair follicles are pierced creating thousands of miniature skin wounds. A vial of blood is then drawn from your body and centrifugally spun to separate the platelets. The Platelet Rich Plasma containing concentrated amounts of growth factors is then infused directly into the scalp. The skin remains intact and is not damaged therefore promoting constructive regeneration. As the skin begins its wound healing process these growth factors are present in the follicular bulge area, where stem cells are found. This activates the proliferative phase of the hair cycle, resulting in new thicker, hair growth.
  • Examples of treatments you can perform on clients after the training:
  • By the end of the training process, attendees will:
    1. Learn kinds of skin imperfections, tissue damage, aesthetic enhancements, and pain areas that can be improved using the available PRP technology and injection techniques. 2.

  • Program Overview
    CoolContouring® is a nonsurgical fat reduction treatment that uses freezing technology to eliminate stubborn areas of fat. Utilizing the process technically known as apoptosis or programmed cell death, CoolContouring® has the ability to target smaller areas of fat such as the abdomen, inner and outer thighs, knees, upper arms, double chin, love handles and more. By freezing areas of fat beneath the skin known as hypodermis, apoptosis is induced and fat cells, once destroyed, are eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system. CoolContouring® requires no anaesthesia, no incisions, no injections and no downtime, no needles, no special diets, and no supplements needed during the process. Trainees will review anatomy and physiology of skin with emphasis of adipose tissue, fat metabolism and break down, lymphatic system, apoptosis, patient selection, contraindications, alternative fat reduction techniques, how to achieve the best results, patient before and after care, CoolContouring® / FatFreeze technique and how to minimize possible side effects. CoolContouring® results look natural and can be seen as early as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results after one to three months. CoolContouring® is not technique dependent and requires no staff time once the patient is set up and the treatment is underway. It is designed for use in a medical office specializing in aesthetic procedures. The CoolContouring® procedure is the only, non-invasive procedure that uses advanced cooling technology to gently and effectively target and eliminate fat in specific areas of a patient’s body through a proprietary technology called FatFreeze Body Slimming.

  • What You Will Learn:
    You will learn the technique to implement pigment into the skin with a manual tool. The tool itself does not need any power to work. The manual tool has a fixed small disposable blade with various amounts of needles. The needles are thinner than those used in machines. They are stable and everything is done with hand movement only. You will learn to control the depth of the pigment injection. It will not reach the deepest layer of dermis, producing an effect of extremely fine and natural looking hair. The procedure is less painful and is done faster than with a machine. You will learn how to perform the procedure in such a way that clients feel less pain. On the contrary of machine pigment microblading that draw several times on the same spot to achieve the result, we teach our trainees how to do it manually to obtain a very natural result, which does not look like a usual tattoo as hairs are “drawn” in their natural direction. In our training course we cover techniques that make the procedure cheaper to use a manual too

  • What is Dermaplaning?
    Dermaplaning is a manual method of facial skin resurfacing and exfoliation. It is performed using a stainless steel medical grade scalpel to comfortably skim away dead skin cells, residues, pigmentation, fine lines and debris from the facial skin.
  • Benefits of Dermaplaning:
    Enhanced Exfoliation, leading to smoother Deeper Product Penetration (Trans dermal infusion) Pain Free method that removes vellous hair that are uneasy to remove by other methods Opening pores to make it easier to extract trapped makeups, oil glands and sebum and dirt Skin that is softer and smoother Removes dead skin cells safely Acne scars are reduced Fine lines and wrinkles are reduced Increases skin circulation Works on all skin types Does not make hair grow back thicker or darker An alternative to microdermabrasion

    What is Microneedling and the science behind it? What symptoms can be treated using Microneedling? Safety and Side effects Targeted skin cells & growth factors What is Collagen Induction Therapy ? Combining Hyaluronic Acid and vitamins Treatment protocol & sanitary and infection control Contraindications Pre- and Post-treatment What to look for in a Microneedling system? Combining Microneedling with other treatment modalities Hands-on Practical Training & Certification
  • Prerequisites:
    Medical background is highly desirable and necessary to perform Microneedling beyond the epidermis layer of skin that proceeds deeper into the dermis layer. For non-medical attendees at least high school diploma and English proficiency is required. Performing Microneedling by non-medical candidates must be "limited to the superficial epidermis layer". Cosmetic Micro-needling uses short needles—less than 1.00 mm—to stimulate the skin’s outer layers, the epidermis and upper dermis. By contrast, medical micro-needling uses longer needles—up to 2.5 mm and beyond. Such procedure must be performed by licensed medical professionals.
  • Certificate:
    Graduates will write a short exam at the end receive a certificate form the BC Academy of Medical Aesthetics & Skin Care within one week. A one-year membership from the Canadian Association of Medical Spas & Aesthetic Surgeons may also be granted to qualified graduates.
  • Microneedling is ideal for:
    Minimizing fine lines and wrinkles Tightening and lift skin Improving skin volume Minimizing scars & stretch marks Refining large dilated pores Reducing hyperpigmentation Giving the skin a more youthful appearance Reducing Acne scars

  • How it Works:
    Microneedling is a great procedure that results in skin rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction, pigmentation removal, and acne scar treatment. Microneedling causes micro-holes on the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin and triggering the natural healing response. Hundreds of mall controlled micro-wounds close after a 24 hours and stimulate the body’s spontaneous healing process through collage producing skin cells called Fibroblasts, which cause new collagen to form. The result is a tighter, elevated, firmer, rejuvenated and more youthful skin. Within few hours, the micro-wounds close and the healing process begin, Using special combos that will be discussed in the course you can also reduce Hyperpigmentation and lighten up the skin for more glowing and brighter appearance.
  • Why 1-day training?
    It is an intense, comprehensive, and focused yet quick training and certification course for candidates who want to learn how to perform the procedure to achieve an effective facial skin tightening and collagen boosting rejuvenation.

  • PRP to treat Hair Loss:
    Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) combined with Medical Skin Needling is a great natural procedure that uses your body’s own plasma to stimulate the hair follicles encouraging new hair growth. This procedure is effective in the treatment of Alopecia

    Licensed MD, ND, DDS, DMD, RN, LPN
  • Certificate:
    Graduates will receive a certificate from the BC Academy of Medical Aesthetics & Skin Care and a one-year membership from the Canadian Association of Medical Spas & Aesthetic Surgeons.
  • How does the Procedure work
    It involves passing an electronic needle-rolling device over the affected area. The needles penetrate into the second layer of the skin, where the hair follicles are pierced creating thousands of miniature skin wounds. A vial of blood is then drawn from your body and centrifugally spun to separate the platelets. The Platelet Rich Plasma containing concentrated amounts of growth factors is then infused directly into the scalp. The skin remains intact and is not damaged therefore promoting constructive regeneration. As the skin begins its wound healing process these growth factors are present in the follicular bulge area, where stem cells are found. This activates the proliferative phase of the hair cycle, resulting in new thicker, hair growth.
  • Examples of treatments you can perform on clients after the training:
  • By the end of the training process, attendees will:
    1. Learn kinds of skin imperfections, tissue damage, aesthetic enhancements, and pain areas that can be improved using the available PRP technology and injection techniques. 2.
