Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create thousands of microchannels—tiny, controlled punctures—in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for firm, smooth, and youthful-looking skin.

Microneedling is used to improve the appearance of:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
  
• Acne scars and other types of scarring
  
• Enlarged pores
  
• Uneven texture and tone
  
• Stretch marks
  
• Skin laxity

Even if a person is not targeting one specific condition, microneedling is often described as a “reset” for the skin, encouraging deep cellular renewal with visible improvement in skin tone, texture, and firmness.

Here’s a look at what happens during a microneedling treatment:

1. Consultation & Skin Assessment
2. Cleansing, Numbing & Preparation
3. Microneedling Process:  Once the skin is numb, you learn how to use a microneedling device (a pen-style tool) to make precise, controlled passes across the treatment area (typically the face). The depth and speed of the needles are adjusted based on the treatment goals and skin area.
4. During Treatment:  As the microneedling device moves across the skin, tiny channels are created. These channels:

• Trigger the skin’s repair process

• Allow for enhanced absorption of active serums (such as hyaluronic acid or peptides), which are often applied during or immediately after treatment

Post-Treatment: After microneedling, the skin may appear red—similar to a sunburn—and feel warm or tight. This usually subsides within 24–72 hours. You will learn how to give personalized aftercare instructions and advise clients to avoid makeup, harsh skincare products, sun exposure, and intense exercise for a few days.

Results & Maintenance: Results begin to appear within a week and continue to improve as collagen regenerates. For best results, a series of treatments (typically 3–6, spaced 6 weeks apart) is recommended. 

Clients love their results and often return for maintenance or to treat new concerns that arise with age, sun exposure, acne, and more.

Absolutely—microneedling is an excellent skill to add to your esthetician or skin technician toolkit, whether you work in a spa or freelance as a licensed professional.

For spa-based estheticians, microneedling demonstrates your passion for advanced, in-demand treatment that delivers visible results. This can attract new clients looking for solutions to fine lines, acne scars, or uneven texture—and it gives your regular clients even more reasons to book with you.

If you’re a freelance professional, offering microneedling allows you expand your service menu and stand out with a results-driven service that builds client trust and loyalty. It positions you as a knowledgeable provider of both relaxation-based and corrective treatments. Clients are willing to invest more in advanced treatments that truly improve their skin.

Microneedling opens doors to career growth. It keeps you on trend, enhances your confidence with skin concerns, and increases your earning potential. Best of all, it reinforces your role as a trusted skincare professional, capable of offering more than just surface-level results.

Medical Esthetics: The Bundle

Ready to go all in? Our Medical Esthetics option combines microneedling and laser training into one comprehensive program. This is an esthetician’s one-stop route to mastering today’s top skin correction treatments. Whether you want to stand out in a high-end clinic or offer premium services where you are, this bundle gives you a powerful skill set with major career potential.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a go-to exfoliation treatment that delivers instant, visible results. Using a sterile blade designed specifically for the skin, dermaplaning gently removes built-up dead cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz), revealing a smooth, radiant surface underneath. Clients quickly notice their at-home skincare absorbs better after dermaplaning and delivers more noticeable results, maximizing the benefits of active ingredients. 

It’s often booked as a standalone glow-up or added to facials for a major boost. Clients love the feel and look of their skin after one session—and once they try it, they come back for more. It’s simple, satisfying, and a smart addition to any skincare menu.

Chemical Peels & Microdermabrasion

While some esthetics diploma programs—including ours—now include chemical peels and microdermabrasion, this is a relatively recent update. If you completed your training more than a few years ago, chances are you didn’t receive hands-on instruction in these treatments.

Adding-on these two courses gives you a solid foundation in two of the most widely requested skin-rejuvenation services today. These treatments are:

• Highly effective for improving texture, tone, and congestion
• Low-cost to perform, with strong client retention
• Ideal for pairing or in treatment intervals with more advanced treatments like microneedling, RF, or IPL

Chemical peels and microdermabrasion serve as excellent entry points for new clients and are perfect for maintenance in between higher-tech services.

Micropigmentation

Comfortable with tiny needles? Why not take a stab at something new! If you enjoy precision tools, branching into semi-permanent cosmetic services like lip blush and brow enhancements is a fresh, rewarding way to expand your business and skill set. They let you boost your clients’ confidence in new ways—helping them wake up ready with ready-blushed lips or full brows, no makeup needed.

Adding these skills can elevate your services, deepen client trust, and grow your business with repeat services that deliver long-lasting results.
