Dermal Therapist

Dermal Therapists perform laser and light based procedures as well as chemical resurfacing, clinical microdermabrasion, skin needling and other facial therapies. They work for medi spas, skin rejuvenation clinics, and cosmetic clinics.

As a dermal therapist you’ll be applying the principles of anatomy and physiology to dermal therapies and often working alongside doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals.
