Microdermabrasion Training Course
An understanding of basic facial skincare and prior completion of a suitable course is a pre-requirement. We would suggest our Facial Massage & Skincare course be completed before attending this course.
Our Microdermabrasion Course will teach you the popular alternative to chemical peels or laser rejuvenation, to allow you to competently offer this service to your clients and helping them achieve resurfaced, rejuvenated skin. You will be taught the most popular diamond-tip microdermabrasion technique, as well as how to accurately perform a tactile test and full client consultation throughout the course of this hands-on, practical training day.
If you are completing this course with plans to progress to more advanced skincare/aesthetics training, we would highly recommend establishing the pre-requirements of any such training with the further provider before commiting to this course to ensure it will meet your requirements and future plans. This course is a great course to introduce you to these lucrative electrical facial treatments to work freelance as an Advanced Skincare Specialist, though you may wish to look at the VTCT qualification options if wanting to later progress to more advanced aesthetics training routes.
What this course covers
- Health, safety & hygiene
- Consultation techniques
- Contraindications
- Theory related to microdermabrasion treatments for clients
- Tactile test procedure
- Performing diamond-tip microdermabrasion treatments*
- Aftercare advice
*This course does not cover the crystal based microdermabrasion methods, only the more popular diamond-tip applicator technique and so will only be insurable using diamond-tip machines.
Course structure
This course is structured over one day and runs from 10am – 4pm. We ask students to arrive at 9.45am to ensure a prompt start. You will learn the theory of the treatment firstly, and spend the majority of the day practising your practical skills, with a short break for lunch.

Course benefits
Skin-related treatments are currently in very high-demand and they are an extremely profitable treatment to offer clients, with many returning for regular treatments every 4-6 weeks to maintain beautiful-looking skin. Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical method of skin rejuvenation by means of mechanical skin exfoliation and offers a modern, virtually painless alternative to chemical and laser peels. It is a versatile procedure that can be combined with other treatments to help achieve the desired results. Following the treatment, clients will immediately notice their skin is smoother and younger looking. This course teaches the treatment process using the popular diamond-tipped applicator method.
