Skin aging mechanisms for more individualized aesthetic planning and patient counseling
For aesthetic clinicians seeking clearer skin biology decisions
This course teaches a mechanism-informed approach to aesthetic skin aging by connecting environmental exposures and procedures with cellular stress, inflammation, and repair biology. You’ll review how UVA and UVB contribute to photoaging, how visible/blue light is discussed in pigmentation and dermal-change hypotheses, and how epigenetic regulation is used to frame longer-term skin changes. The course also covers clinician-oriented decision points in modalities such as PRP versus PRF, exosomes (including delivery and measurement limitations), and consultation planning using the EDIT framework (Evaluate, Discuss, Identify, Tailor). Clinicians can use these concepts to support clearer interpretation of variable patient responses and more structured, individualized planning with longitudinal follow-up. It is designed for providers working in aesthetics and regenerative/biologics-adjacent care, as well as advanced learners who want a translational view of skin and scalp physiology.
What's Included
Across two recorded days, the course blends foundational skin biology with clinician discussion and Q&A to connect mechanisms to real-world aesthetic decision-making. It emphasizes structured evaluation, careful interpretation of evidence versus theory, and practical reasoning about modality selection and sequencing.
