Plasma Skin Tightening is the next big thing in beauty. Did you know skincare and anti-aging is the biggest market in the beauty industry? If you are looking for a great opportunity to boost your earnings for the long-term, then Plasma Skin Tightening is for you!
When the skin is exposed to plasma energy, it goes through the process of sublimation (the action of turning matter from solid to gas, bypassing the liquid stage).
In other words, we are ‘evaporating’ the excess tissue without the application of excess heat and in a very superficial manner. This sublimation effect causes an instant contraction of the tissue, eliminating wrinkles and sagging skin. This them stimulates skin regeneration and collagen production.
We are proud to bring you education and products of the highest quality in Plasma Skin Tightening. If you would like to get qualified in performing this great treatment, look no further then here at Gulf Coast Academy.

MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is a procedure that inserts microscopic punctures on the surface of the skin. This treatment will restore a youthful, plump, and healthy look to your patient’s face and is the latest trend in skin rejuvenation to fight against aging effects. Residents of Florida understand all too well the damage the sun can cause the skin, creating an aging effect much sooner than we would prefer. Sun damage causes permanent dark spots and wrinkles on our faces. Microneedling can help alleviate some of this damage. Because this treatment is minimally invasive with immediate results, it is certainly in high demand. We at Gulf Coast Academy will train you in all the methods and techniques used for this procedure so you can put a smile on your patients’ faces.
Courses and programs in Microneedling prepare estheticians to:
Identify the clinical uses of Microneedling
Demonstrate treatment protocols and the proper use of Microneedling devices
Understand formulations and ingredients of topical products used with Microneedling
Identify contraindications
Understand liability issues

Demonstrate proper documentation
DERMAPLANING
Dermaplaning is a great option for residents who want an effective treatment with no adverse effects or downtime for recovery. This procedure is simple and painless, making it a common and highly sought-after treatment. This is a skillset anybody in the cosmetology career should master, and Gulf Coast Academy will help you achieve that. Our training program will prepare you to help any and all patients with common skin issues such as acne scarring, dry skin, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines and wrinkles.
Dermaplaning is a safe, painless procedure that exfoliates the surface of the skin while removing those small, fine hairs (called vellus) many refer to as peach fuzz. Estheticians and other trained professionals, such as dermatologists, use a ten-gauge scalpel and gentle, feathering strokes to accomplish this.
A Dermaplaning hands-on class covers such topics as:
Standardized procedures and protocols
Pre- and post-care instructions
Skin analysis
Hands-on techniques
Price structuring
Market trends and client retention

Esthetician licensing is for students who want to specialize in the study of skin care. Esthetics is a growing part of the health and beauty industry, and qualified Estheticians are needed to perform facial treatments, waxing, and cosmetic make-up services.
Each state’s license requirements dictate what educational requirements are required by the esthetician according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), http://www.bls.gov. Gulf Coast Academy, Inc. follows Florida’s requirement, which is 220 hours of hands-on training and theory.
Graduates of our program learn to nurture and help people look and feel better. Our Esthetician program also teaches students to analyze customers’ skin care needs, discuss treatments and products.
Esthetics is one of those careers that require you know a lot about a lot of different subjects. Because esthetics is primarily a hands-on business, the majority of your education will be devoted to technique. This covers all components of the facial process. These components include, but are not limited to: Skin Analysis, Cleansing, Exfoliation, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Facial Massage, Deep Pore Cleansing, Use of Various Equipment, Masks, Specialized Treatments for specific skin problems, and Product Knowledge. In addition to facials, practical classes also cover waxing and various other treatments for eyes, back, and hands.
Modules of study are also devoted to Makeup Artistry and to the theoretical principals that the practice of esthetics is based on. Theory instruction includes Anatomy and Physiology of the Human Body, an in-depth study of the skin, Basic Chemistry as applied to Product Ingredients and Composition, Nutrition, Sales, Salon Business, Microbiology, Sanitation, and Disorders of the Skin. Although many students enjoy the hands-on aspect of esthetic study, the fundamentals that support the practice are essential.
Once you have successfully completed an esthetics program and become licensed , there are as many opportunities as there are skin types. Many graduates opt to practice esthetics in a salon or spa or open their own businesses. Some work as makeup artists in a variety of environments, including the salon/spa, portrait or commercial photography studios, fashion shows, television, stage, or motion pictures (additional specialized education is recommended for stage and film), free-lance bridal and special occasion, reconstructive/camouflage cosmetics in medical practices, or a mortuary as a restorative specialist. Estheticians may choose to work in medical practices such as dermatology, plastic surgery, oncology, or burn treatment centers. Other opportunities include cosmetic research and development, sales, management, cosmetic buyer or assistant buyer, a manufacturer’s representative for skin care, cosmetics, or equipment. Individuals with a background in communications may choose freelance writing and lecturing on the topic of beauty, or pursue a career as a beauty editor of a newspaper, magazine, or trade journal. Educational positions as teachers of makeup and skin care are also possibilities.
As incomes rise and demand increase for personal appearance services, employment for Estheticians is expected to grow faster than the average cosmetologist, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

PRP FOR HAIR LOSS
PRP has shown promise by potentially lengthening and thickening hair shafts. It is a popular treatment to assist in slowing down the effects of genetic hair loss known as Androgenic Alopecia. A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient and placed in a sterile test tube that is spun down in a centrifuge to separate the different components of the blood. One the platelet rich plasma is ready. The platelet-rich plasma is drawn up into a syringe and then injected into areas of the scalp that need increased hair growth.
