The field of aesthetics is constantly evolving. New products, technologies, protocols, and client expectations make ongoing training an essential part of professional development. This Advanced Aesthetics and Dermocosmetics Training course will help you better understand the fundamentals behind aesthetic practice and connect pieces of knowledge that are typically learned separately.
Over the course of 400 hours, you’ll combine anatomy, physiology, dermocosmetics, manual therapies, aesthetic technologies, and wellness in a theoretical and practical program focused on real-world scenarios. This training program was developed in partnership with SANTUM and in collaboration with Francisco de Vitoria University for those who want to break into the industry, strengthen their foundational knowledge, or continue to grow professionally.
However, as the industry evolves, a different need arises: to better understand the skin, the body, the products, the technology, and the fundamentals behind each procedure. This training helps you develop professional judgment so you can make better decisions in the treatment room and offer clients a more comprehensive experience.
Understanding a cosmetic product goes far beyond knowing its name or how to use it. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll discover how different cosmetic formulations are developed by combining ingredients, active ingredients, oils, extracts, and functional elements used in natural dermocosmetics.
During this workshop, you'll learn about the basic manufacturing processes, the properties of various ingredients, and how texture, composition, and the selection of active ingredients influence the final product.
This activity provides a practical introduction to dermocosmetics and helps participants better understand what goes into many of the formulations commonly used in professional settings.
The reality of working at a beauty salon involves much more than just performing techniques or treatments. For this reason, part of the training is conducted in collaboration with SANTUM, a professional environment that provides a practical look at the day-to-day operations of the industry.
Through this experience, you'll see how knowledge, protocols, customer service, space organization, and service preparation come together in a real-world professional setting.
The goal is to understand how all the elements involved in the customer experience interact and how work is organized within a specialized center.
One of the most important challenges in studying aesthetics is being able to connect concepts that are typically studied separately. Anatomy, skin, products, techniques, technologies, and wellness take on true meaning when they are integrated into a single approach to the field.
For this reason, the program includes activities focused on the design, analysis, and justification of facial and body treatment protocols, enabling students to develop a broader and more structured understanding of professional practice.
Through these experiences, you will learn to make informed decisions, understand the role of each element within a protocol, and explain the criteria used in its development.
Practical experience is also linked to the context in which learning takes place. The program is held at Francisco de Vitoria University, a university setting that fosters participation, the exchange of experiences, and interaction with faculty and professionals from various disciplines.
The campus, facilities, and workspaces are all part of an experience that extends learning beyond classroom sessions and helps create an environment that is particularly well-suited to the gradual acquisition of knowledge and skills.
What this environment offers:
Learning extends beyond the classroom. The program takes place in a university setting designed to enhance the academic and professional experience, combining in-person classes, social spaces, and hands-on activities.
