Microdermabrasion CPD Course
Exfoliation • Skin Renewal • Radiance
Beautique Centre of Excellence – Setting the Standard in Hair, Beauty & Aesthetics Education
Our Microdermabrasion Course is designed for practitioners looking to offer a results-driven skin treatment that improves skin texture, clarity, and overall appearance.
Microdermabrasion is one of the most popular non-invasive facial treatments, using controlled exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, stimulate cell renewal, and reveal smoother, brighter skin.
This is a high-demand, repeat-booking treatment that works as both a standalone facial and an add-on to advanced skin services.
