Cosmetic Dermatology

---

The material covers the function of the epidermis and the importance of desquamation when treating or managing skin disease.  The material covers the science in chemical resurfacing agents and discusses the difference of each.  This course is an in-depth study of the various chemical agents and their applications in dermatology.  The material gives clarification of each chemical agent and the ideal application when managing skin conditions for optimal clinical outcomes.  The material further covers ethnicity and chemical peel applications when treating darker racial ethnicities.  This course gives the practitioner a thorough understanding of chemical agents and applications when treating skin disease.   

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Explain function and desquamation of the epidermis. Describe methods of exfoliation; keratolytic, proteolytic, keratocoagulant.  Explain the chemistry of AHA's; pH, buffering, and free acid value. Identify specific properties of AHA's, PHA's, BHA's, Enzymes, and Herbal peels.  Apply different methods of chemical exfoliation when managing skin conditions and dark skin phototypes III-VI.
