This state-approved course is designed for licensed estheticians and cosmetologists ready to offer corrective, results-driven treatments grounded in safety and skin science.

Instruction covers skin anatomy, wound healing, collagen induction, barrier repair, depth control, and treatment customization for concerns such as aging, acne scarring, texture, and pigmentation with both nano and microneedling. Hands-on training includes device setup, safe operation, needle selection, speed, treatment protocols, technique, pre and post-care procedures, and supervised practice. Graduates are prepared to deliver consistent, results-driven treatments while practicing within their scope of practice.

Microneedling FAQs

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling uses sterile, single-use needles to create micro-injuries, triggering natural healing. This boosts collagen and elastin, improving skin texture, tone, acne scars, fine lines, and unevenness.

What is Nano Needling?

Nano Needling, also known as nano infusion, employs very shallow, cone-shaped tips that do not puncture the skin. Instead, it boosts product absorption and enhances surface hydration, glow, and texture with minimal or no downtime.

Do I need to have prior experience with Nano Needling before learning Microneedling?

No, you do not need nano needling experience before learning microneedling. They’re related but serve different purposes and require different skills.

Do I need to receive Microneedling treatment as part of my training?

No, if you don’t want to receive a Microneedling treatment as part of your training, models will be provided if needed.

Does this course align with Colorado’s scope of practice laws?

Yes. All instruction emphasizes working within the scope of practice, prioritizing safety, professionalism, and responsible treatment planning.

Will I receive a certification upon completion?

Yes. Upon successfully completing the course, students receive a state-approved Microneedling Certification, confirming advanced training in microneedling treatments. They do not replace state or national licensure.

Can I enroll in this course if I have an esthetics or cosmetology license from another state besides Colorado?

Does this certificate allow me to practice this modality in other states?
