MasterClass Programme Curriculum
Session 1
Hair Restoration and Transplant
Chemical Peel and Mesotherapy
During the first 5 days of the one-year comprehensive Master Clinician Aesthetic Medicine programme, we will cover the two main procedures that are emerging as the most successful procedures: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT). They are both essentially a form of transplant from existing hair follicles but there are significant differences. The most important factor in both methods is keeping the hair follicle unit healthy and intact.
At CBMDA we separate chemical peel procedures training into two levels in order to ensure aesthetics professionals administer only the correct type of treatment for the skin condition or objective.
The Foundation Level is the standard training course for milder skin complaints or appearance improvements such as anti-ageing. The Advanced Level is necessary if you wish to offer chemicals peels as a solution for more severe skin conditions such as scarring or deep pigmentation. In order to enrol on the Advanced Level you will need to have a greater understanding of skin anatomy and therefore a medical background with proof of qualifications is needed
