LEARNING OUTCOMES
Aim and objective of the course: Upon successful completion of this educational module, students are able to meet the requirements of the specifications of the Legislation for electrosurgical treatment and lasers. This section consolidates knowledge and techniques in electrosurgical treatment and laser hair removal. Students are monitored for therapeutic progress and final evaluation of integrated hair removal treatments as well as the management of case-by-case incidents of progressive on-the-ground dermatopathies.
Upon the successful completion of this educational module students are expected to be able to:
- Provide thorough guidance in identifying indications and contraindications and design a safe and effective treatment plan and post-treatment guidelines..
- Perform permanent hair removal techniques at the level of a clinical dermatologist
- Recognize the structures of the body and systems in the context of aesthetic therapy
- Apply the methods of treatment of unwanted hair growth disorders in the context of skin treatments.
- Apply particular specialization techniques in laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).
- Explain this difficult process including basic physics principles for lasers and IPL-based treatments for dermatological situations that require phototherapy
- Perform therapeutic techniques for dermatological conditions using Laser & IPL
- Design- plan treatment regimens for dermatological conditions in relation to the wavelength and the appropriate application for each Fitzpatrick phototype
- Manage Laser & IPL for special dermatological conditions with safety and confidence
