A Dermal Clinician is someone who has undertaken a Bachelor Degree of Applied Health Sciences in Clinical Aesthetics or Dermal Science.
Dermal clinicians bridge the gap between beauty therapists/dermal therapists and dermatologists.
The Bachelor Degree is a 3-4 year full time degree that covers the anatomy and physiology of the entire body, in depth science centred around the skin, nutrition, cosmetic chemistry, research skills and so much more!
Within dermal science studies, clinicians are taught the skills needed to see the bigger picture when it comes to skin concerns. We are taught to consult thoroughly and analyse patients as a whole, rather than looking at external factors only. This leads us to consider things such as family history, allergies, nutrition, lifestyle factors, habits and medical conditions. We work ongoing with clients, supporting them to achieve their goals through treatments, skincare products and lifestyle adjustments.
One of the main differences of a Dermal Clinician is that all approaches taken are backed by science. This means that we take out the guess work and implement practices based off of evidence, so that you receive the best and safest results possible.
If you are struggling with a skin concern or just don’t know where to start, simply send us a message through FB or Instagram and we are more than happy to point you in the right direction.
