Paramedical Esthetics Program is Scheduled to launch in August!
Our Clinical and Paramedical Esthetics programs are designed specifically for professional estheticians as well as any licensed professional who is able to provide care for the skin within the scope of their practice.
The skin care industry has become extremely progressive and competitive over the last decade. It is a challenge for the skin care professional to stay current with the latest high tech treatments, modalities and procedures. Furthermore, spas, skin care clinics and medi spas are looking for the most knowledgeable, well trained professionals to work in their facilities.
At this time there is no license provided by the state for Clinical or Medical Esthetics for estheticians. However, Concepts Institute offers training and certification through our institution in both of these areas. By attending one or both of the following courses you will have greater knowledge and understanding of the topic of Clinical or Paramedical esthetics, thereby will be able to execute the treatments more confidently and effectively. This will also enable you to remain competitive in the job market and potentially command a greater salary.
Below are the requirements and an outline of both curriculums:
