Course Overview
Course Details & Objectives
AMG's Professional Certificate in High Frequency Facials and Scalp Treatments for Men introduces direct high frequency, controlled spot applications, indirect high frequency massage and professional hair and scalp treatments. You will learn to integrate these methods into the Mens Body Works facial and scalp protocols, adapting the service to the client's presentation and the manufacturer's instructions.
The course connects electrical principles and skin, hair and scalp science with consultation, treatment and follow-up. Men's shaving routines, facial hair, congestion, dryness and scalp-care needs receive particular attention. High frequency is presented as a cosmetic service that may offer gentle warmth, temporary surface drying and relaxation. You will learn to communicate realistic expectations and refer skin disease or hair-loss concerns for medical assessment.
Who This Course Is For
This course is designed for beauty, hair and barbering practitioners who meet AMG's entry requirements and want to develop high frequency skills for male clients. It suits practitioners seeking to extend an existing facial or scalp-care menu with a structured approach to suitability, safe equipment use and professional client care.
Course Learning Resources
Learning is supported by AMG's revised 12-module student manual and knowledge and practical assessment workbooks. The manual contains knowledge checks, professional reflections, a glossary and references. Five appendices provide facial and scalp quick references, a consultation checklist, treatment record and client aftercare card. Training also draws on the related workplace protocols, equipment instructions and product safety information to support consistent practice.
