The Diploma in Dermal Science and Therapy provides essential theoretical and practical foundations for professionals aiming to excel in aesthetic medicine. This advanced online program builds your knowledge from fundamental principles to advanced treatment concepts, preparing you to perform a broad range of cosmetic procedures safely and effectively.

Through comprehensive modules, you’ll gain a solid understanding of anatomy, treatment selection, and patient assessment, while mastering key cosmetic procedures including injectables, threads, mesotherapy, and laser/IPL therapies. You will also learn to manage complications, implement emergency protocols, and ensure patient safety. Designed to complement hands-on training, this diploma equips practitioners with the theoretical expertise needed to begin or advance their careers in aesthetics.

In Australia, participants can enhance their qualification by completing hands-on training with ASI, gaining the practical skills necessary to perform aesthetic procedures confidently and within their professional scope.

Please note: Online modules alone do not authorise you to perform aesthetic treatments. Always confirm your scope of practice with your regulatory bodies and insurance providers. Practical training is required for the safe and compliant delivery of these procedures.
