Course Overview

Course Details & Objectives

AMG's microdermabrasion course develops the knowledge and practical judgement required to assess men's skin, plan treatments and work safely with the Comfortel Diamond Microdermabrasion II system. You will study how a diamond-coated tip and controlled vacuum suction remove dead surface cells, how the skin renews and repairs its barrier, and how skin type, condition and Fitzpatrick phototype influence every treatment decision.

Training covers stand-alone treatments and microdermabrasion as part of a professional facial, with technique adapted for common male concerns such as dull or congested skin, enlarged pores, rough texture, shallow acne marks and ingrown hairs in shaving areas. Results build over a course of treatments and vary between clients; microdermabrasion improves the look of the skin's surface and does not remove deep wrinkles, deep scarring or loose skin.

Diamond microdermabrasion is non-invasive when performed correctly, but over-working the skin can cause irritation, abrasion and pigment changes. The course places strong emphasis on conservative settings, careful screening, informed consent, tip cleaning and sterilisation, client monitoring and honest claims. Training uses the Comfortel Diamond Microdermabrasion II protocol and must remain consistent with current manufacturer instructions.
