Professional Dermaplaning Certification Program

Master One of the Most Popular Exfoliation Treatments in Modern Esthetics

Take your skincare expertise to the next level with the Professional Dermaplaning Certification Program at JOE CEPEDA INSTITUTE. This comprehensive course is designed for aspiring estheticians and skincare professionals who want to safely perform one of the beauty industry’s most requested manual exfoliation treatments.

Dermaplaning is a highly effective, non-invasive procedure that removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (“peach fuzz”) from the surface of the skin, revealing a smoother, brighter, and more radiant complexion. It is an excellent stand-alone treatment and can also enhance the effectiveness of professional skincare products and complementary esthetic procedures.

Whether you’re beginning your esthetics career or expanding your treatment menu, this certification will provide you with the knowledge, practical skills, and confidence to safely deliver professional dermaplaning treatments.
