Course Overview
Course Details & Objectives
AMG's RF microneedling course develops the knowledge and practical judgement required to assess clients, plan treatments and work with the Explore fractional RF device. You will study how microneedles and radiofrequency energy interact with tissue, how skin heals, and how anatomy, skin condition and pigmentation risk influence treatment decisions.
Facial training explores suitability and treatment planning for concerns such as texture, fine lines, laxity and healed acne scarring. Scalp training covers consultation, protocol considerations, medical referral for hair concerns and realistic expectations. Results vary, and hair regrowth is not guaranteed.
RF microneedling is a skin penetration procedure. The course places strong emphasis on informed consent, aseptic technique, sterile single-use tips, conservative parameter selection, client monitoring and recognising adverse responses. Training uses the Mens Body Works Explore protocol and must remain consistent with current manufacturer instructions and authorised practice.
