Every Great Therapist Starts with the Skin.

Before you touch a laser, an EMF device, or an ultrasound probe – you must understand the canvas. This module is your foundation.

🔹 Living Function – How skin protects, senses, regulates temperature, and regenerates. The hair cycle from anagen to telogen.

🔹 Know Your Client – Fitzpatrick skin typing, pigmentation grading, age-related changes, and individual variations.

🔹 Recognize Danger – Inflammatory and non-inflammatory conditions, tumors, infections (fungal, bacterial, viral), systemic diseases with skin involvement, and allergies. When to say “not today.”
