At the end of the training, Learners shall understand theoretical and clinical principles of Laser Skin Rejuvenation, Laser Hair Removal, Laser for Pigmentation and Laser Tattoo Removal.

This module consists of theory lectures on the use of Chemical Peel, Microdermabrasion and Energy Based Devices, such as Radiofrequency, Infrared and High Intense Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for skin rejuvenation and skin tightening in Aesthetic Medicine. The topics include the different types of Chemical Peels used in Aesthetic Medicine, stages of wound rejuvenation and complications related to Chemical Peel. For skin tightening devices, the topics include the mechanism of action of skin tightening devices related to Radiofrequency, Infrared and High Intense Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). At the end of the training, Learners shall understand theoretical and clinical principles of how to use and combine Chemical Peel, Microdermabrasion and Energy Based Devices (Radiofrequency, Infrared and High Intense Focused Ultrasound) for a fresher and rejuvenated skin for their patients.

This is a supplementary module which consists of theory lectures on Skin Boosters, Barbed Suture and Ultrasound Guided Facial Aesthetic Imaging. The topics on Skin Boosters include the different types of Skin Boosters in Aesthetic Medicine, mechanism of action of Skin Boosters and their indications based on the patient’s needs. The topics on Barbed Suture (Threadlift) includes the different types of Barbed Sutures used in Aesthetic Medicine, their uses, facial vectors in Aesthetic Medicine and techniques of Threadlift. Finally, the Ultrasound Guided Facial Aesthetic Imaging topic will teach Doctors on how to assess facial vessels and facial structures using ultrasound in order for them to perform a safe & effective procedure, particularly in Dermal Fillers and Threadlift.

This module consists of discussion on clinical papers and journals, including updated rescue protocols for Aesthetic Medical procedures. It will also cover newer advancements and updates in Aesthetic Medicine, such as Follicular Unit Extraction (Hair Transplant), Platelet Rich Plasma and Stem Cell Medicine.

This is a Revision Module, where Learners will discuss and review their clinical findings and any adverse effects they may have encountered during their Clinical procedures and updated rescue protocols. This module also prepares the Learners for the Professional Diploma in Aesthetic Medicine final exam.
