This advanced certification program equips skincare professionals with the theoretical and practical knowledge to treat active acne, post-acne scarring, traumatic scars, and striae (stretch marks) using microneedling as the core modality. The curriculum integrates wound healing science, combination therapies (LED, topical serums), complication management, and treatment planning. Note: RF microneedling is covered theoretically only, with recommendations for separate certification.

Learning Outcomes: Upon completion, the specialist will independently assess scar types, design treatment protocols, perform standard microneedling safely, manage side effects, and create home care regimens.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I take only Module 7 (RF microneedling theory)? No, this certification is integrated. However, RF microneedling is theory-only – no hands-on.

Q: Does this allow me to perform microneedling on active acne? Yes, with the following restriction: only non-inflammatory comedonal or mild papular acne. Active cystic or pustular acne is a contraindication – refer to dermatology.

Q: Is this course recognized for insurance (malpractice) purposes? Most aesthetic malpractice insurers accept this certification as proof of advanced training. Check with your provider (e.g., Aesthetic Insurance Group, HSPO, NASW).

Q: Can I use the letters "ASRS" after my name? Yes. Example: Sarah Johnson, LE, ASRS
