Before delivering safe, effective, personalized treatments, you need to understand the skin in front of you—and the person behind it. This foundational course dives into the three essential pillars of medical aesthetics: accurate skin typing, thorough medical history assessment, and professional consultation practices.

These are the non-negotiables. Every successful aesthetic treatment—whether it's a basic peel or an advanced laser procedure—relies on the groundwork laid in these early steps. By mastering them, you’ll dramatically reduce the risk of complications, earn your client’s trust, and set yourself apart as a provider who leads with both knowledge and care.

In this course, you will learn how to:

• Identify and classify skin types using systems like Fitzpatrick and Lancer, and understand how those classifications influence treatment choices and risks.

• Gather and interpret medical history information, including absolute and relative contraindications, wound healing factors, and charting best practices.

• Conduct meaningful consultations that build rapport, set realistic expectations, and prepare clients for their treatment journey.

• Use structured systems and visual tools to streamline assessments and documentation—no guesswork, no wasted time.
