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.

Next session: Inquire within / by appointment We provide practice models. You may invite your own volunteer model from family or friends who are willing to receive the service from you under our supervision. Please discuss with instructor prior to the training date.

Upon 3-day training certification you will understand: Anatomy & Physiology of Skin Hair follicle and Pigments Theory of Semi permanent makeup Color Theory / Pigments selection Pricing/Profit Mapping / Drawing a perfect brow and lips Proper strokes vs. improper strokes Application and Contraindication Touch ups Aftercare Hands-on Training on models Training includes starter up kit (value of $250): Microblades Numbing Cream Blading Pen Pigment (for 10 clients) Light Eyebrow kit Measuring Device Micro Swabs Practice Pad

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

It is an intense, comprehensive, and focused yet quick training and certification for candidates with medical and Aesthetician background that comparing to other training institution saves you time and expenses.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Next session: Inquire within / by appointment We provide practice models. You may invite your own volunteer model from family or friends who are willing to receive the service from you under our supervision. Please discuss with instructor prior to the training date.

Upon 3-day training certification you will understand: Anatomy & Physiology of Skin Hair follicle and Pigments Theory of Semi permanent makeup Color Theory / Pigments selection Pricing/Profit Mapping / Drawing a perfect brow and lips Proper strokes vs. improper strokes Application and Contraindication Touch ups Aftercare Hands-on Training on models Training includes starter up kit (value of $250): Microblades Numbing Cream Blading Pen Pigment (for 10 clients) Light Eyebrow kit Measuring Device Micro Swabs Practice Pad

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
