Benefit of Facial Cleansing

 

A common benefit of facial cleansing is the removal of dirt, oil, and other unwanted 

debris. Throughout the day the skin on your face is continually covered with bacteria, 

pollutants, dirt, and old (dead) skin cells. Daily facial cleansing removes these 

impurities to give the skin a fresh look. Without cleansing, our skin would make it 

difficult for other products to penetrate the skin properly. 

Facial Specialist (Esthetician) Course

An esthetician (aesthetician), also known as skin care specialist, helps people look 

their best. This following provides a job description, educational requirement, and 

employment outlook for anyone interested in a career as an esthetician through  

Gulf Coast Academy, Inc.

Esthetics is one of those careers that require you know a lot about a lot of different
subjects. Because esthetics is primarily a hands-on business, the majority of your
education will be devoted to technique. This covers all components of the facial
process. 

These components include, but are not limited to: Skin Analysis, Cleansing, Exfoliation,  
Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Facial Massage, Deep Pore Cleansing, Use of Various
Equipment, Masks, Specialized Treatments for specific skin problems, and Product
Knowledge. In addition to facials, practical classes also cover waxing and various other
treatments for eyes, back, and hands.

 

Modules of study are also devoted to Makeup Artistry and to the theoretical principles that the
practice of esthetics is based on. Theory instruction includes Anatomy and Physiology of the
Human Body, an in-depth study of the skin, Basic Chemistry as applied to Product
Ingredients and Composition, Nutrition, Sales, Salon Business, Microbiology, Sanitation,
and Disorders of the Skin. Although many students enjoy the hands-on aspect of esthetic
study, the fundamentals that support the practice are essential.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Comprehensive Hand on Training Courses

 

 

What is Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy?

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has been successfully used in medicine for many years, 

focusing on areas such as wound healing, tissue repair and in orthopedics, dentistry, 

neurosurgery, and ophthalmology. 

• Defined as an autologous concentrated preparation of platelets, PRP therapy is a great
  procedure for your aesthetic clinic either as a standalone treatment or to complement
  other procedures such as dermal fillers and derma roller.

• This system uses your body’s own growth factors in order for the skin to repair and 

  rejuvenate itself. 

• The platelets in the blood are concentrated in clear plasma. Once this plasma is injected
  into the skin, a large number of growth factors are released to stimulate soft tissue regeneration.
  
  

  
  

What is the platelet? 

• Platelets, or thrombocytes, are small, colorless cell fragments in our blood that form clots and
  stop or prevent bleeding. Platelets are made in our bone marrow, the sponge-like tissue inside
  our bones.
  

What are cytokines? 

• Cytokines/immune cytokines were initially used to separate the immunomodulatory proteins,
  also called immunotransmitters, from other growth factors that modulate proliferation and
  bioactivities of non-immune cells. Some cytokines are produced by a rather limited number
  of different cell types while others are produced by almost the entire spectrum of known cell
  types.
  

 

Phlebotomy & Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Courses at Gulf Coast Academy 

 

Aesthetics With PRP 

 

This comprehensive hands-on-training workshop explores the multiple cosmetic applications 

of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). 

 

• How does it work?

• A small sample of your own blood is processed in a highly specialized, state of the art 

  system to facilitate the safe and rapid preparation of autologous platelet-rich plasma 

  (PRP) designed to extract the PRP in a safe, clinical manner. PRP is then injected into 

  the areas that require tissue remodeling and rejuvenation. PRP is your own unique blood 

  and so you are using your own natural resources to repair and improve your skin tissue.

• As your skin is healing, the growth factors, in a higher concentration than would normally
  be found induces new and extra collagen, new cells, and increased normal vascularity of
  the skin. This has a profound effect on the appearance of the skin, much tighter, and
  brighter and immediately fewer wrinkles.
  

 

PRP For Hair Loss

 

Now there is an affordable way for you to improve your hair density without surgery or other 

harmful side effects. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for hair restoration involves a simple 

injection of your own platelet-rich plasma into your scalp to help regrow hair.

 

• Increases blood supply to the follicle

• Increases hair shaft size (thickness)

• Triggers and maintains the hair growth phase

• Decreases hair loss

 

• How Does It Work? 

• Platelets contain healing growth factors. These growth factors when released are like 

  signal callers that give instructions to your tissues to regenerate and multiply. 

• The benefits of your body’s own growth factors have lead different fields of medicine to 

  utilize PRP for wound healing to speed up recovery time and regrow healthier, stronger 

  tissues.  

• Now, dermatologists have discovered new benefits for hair thickening and regrowth for 

  hair with PRP. 

• Your own growth factors and stem cells will work together to reverse the miniaturization
  of the hair follicle and jump-start dormant hair follicles back into the growth stage.
  

 

Phlebotomy 

 

The word phlebotomy means the drawing of blood by venipuncture for transfusion, diagnostic 

testing, or experimental procedures.

 

• We start you with the artificial training arms so that you can gain basic knowledge and comfort of
  properly working with the blood draw equipment and the blood draw procedure.
  

• This Phlebotomy course offers hands-on experiences in the classroom while being supervised 

  by the instructor. 

• We help you gain expertise in phlebotomy procedures (blood drawing), and specimen collection 

  and processing. 

• Once you have completed the class you will receive a certification of completion.

 

How will you benefit from Platelet Rich Plasma Training?

• This treatment is an excellent add-on to your aesthetic clinic. It is becoming an increasingly
  popular treatment to improve the texture of the skin, create a better skin tone, firm the skin,
  reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and to volumize beneath the skin.
  

• This treatment is cost-effective as it incurs very little outlays, making it a very lucrative procedure 

  for your aesthetic business

• It can be used to treat the delicate areas above and below the eyes which are usually difficult to 

  treat with treatments such as Botox and dermal fillers

• As this is an autologous system, patients who are opposed to using artificial products will be 

  happier to try this treatment as it is completely natural and safe.

• There is very little downtime for your patients – increasing its popularity.

• Long-lasting results.

How Long Does it Take to Be A Botox & Dermal Filler Certified in Fort Myers?

What is Botox and Dermal Filler? 

Botox® injections

Botox contains a safe version of botulinum neurotoxin type-A, which targets motor 
nerve signals and prevents your facial muscles from creating wrinkles when you 
smile or frown. It can be injected into the upper or lower areas of the face to improve 
aesthetics or around the back of the neck and along the temples to prevent chronic 
migraines. Botox can also be used to help prevent you from sweating excessively 
by blocking chemicals that activate sweat glands.  

Dermal filler injections

Dermal filler injectables contain hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in the body. 
When injected, this ingredient plumps up the area, adding a dewy, youthful look to 
the skin and filling in fine lines and wrinkles.
