Foundations of Dermatological Practices

Skin Typing, Medical History, and Patient Consultations

This micro-learning course provides comprehensive training across three critical modules for dermatological practice. In the Skin Typing module, participants learn to identify and classify various skin types using systems like the Fitzpatrick scale and the Lancer Scale, assessing characteristics such as pigmentation, oiliness, sensitivity, and aging factors. The Medical History module emphasizes the importance of thorough medical history assessments to identify contraindications and ensure precise documentation using SOAP techniques. The Consultations module focuses on developing effective communication strategies, managing patient expectations, performing patch tests, and tailoring consultation approaches for different patient needs. This course equips professionals with the foundational knowledge and practical skills necessary for high-quality patient care in medical aesthetics, including when to consult with a medical director for complex cases.

To clarify: The complete certificate program includes all the content of the micro-learning courses. You can purchase EITHER an individual micro-learning course(s) without a certificate OR the full ‘Master Medical Aesthetician Essentials Program’ that includes a certificate (instead of individual micro-learning courses).
