They are superficial in nature and present on the upper epidermal level of the skin. Vascular irregularities appear most often on the face. Some of these irregularities such as cherry angiomas, and dilated capillaries may appear on the face, chest and torso. Sebaceous irregularities on the face, as well as the scalp, include commonly occurring cholesterol deposits, clogged pores, milia, skin tags, keratosis and pimples. Sebaceous hyperplasia, a distinctive donut-shaped sebaceous glad, also fall in this category, as do cysts. In this course you will learn how to effectively and safely remove these common skin irregularities and growths from the face and body.
Fibroblast Skin Tightening
Plasma Skin Tightening is the next big thing in beauty. Did you know skincare and anti-aging is the biggest market in the beauty industry? If you are looking for a great opportunity to boost your earnings for the long-term, then Plasma Skin Tightening is for you!
When the skin is exposed to plasma energy, it goes through the process of sublimation (the action of turning matter from solid to gas, bypassing the liquid stage).
In other words, we are ‘evaporating’ the excess tissue without the application of excess heat and in a very superficial manner. This sublimation effect causes an instant contraction of the tissue, eliminating wrinkles and sagging skin. This them stimulates skin regeneration and collagen production.
We are proud to bring you education and products of the highest quality in Plasma Skin Tightening. If you would like to get qualified in performing this great treatment, look no further then here at Gulf Coast Academy.

Radiofrequency (RF) therapy, also called radiofrequency skin tightening is a nonsurgical method of tightening your skin.

Microblading Course
The latest fad in the makeup world is the focus on eyebrows. With the makeup industry quickly rising and becoming more and more popular, people have become less satisfied with their natural eyebrows. While simple makeup fixes such as pencils and pomades can temporarily fix this issue, people still desire a way to achieve an ideal eyebrow that won’t have to be applied daily. Microblading is the answer. This technique is a simpler and less invasive form of tattooing where pigment is implemented under the skin in the form of small hair strokes. This gives the effect of actual eyebrow hairs. The results of microblading can last up to three years with proper touch ups every six months to a year. Because upkeep is minimal and no daily makeup is required, microblading is a highly demanded procedure. With this workshop, you will learn to master this technique in order to give your patients the eyebrow shape and fullness they’ve always dreamed of!
Ombre Powder Eyebrows Course
This technique has gained its popularity all over the world because of its soft finish and amazing healed results. To create the Ombre Powder Eyebrows effect, a handheld machine is used to place tiny dots of pigment into the skin. In Gulf Coast Academy’s workshop, we aim to replace the need for any penciling. This technique is more suited to clients with naturally full brows, those who totally need to reshape their brow or improve symmetry, but ultimately for those who like a complete fuller eyebrow!
