CIBTAC Level 4 Award in Skin Health Assessment
The CIBTAC Level 4 Award in Skin Health Assessment
This course offers you the first qualification of its kind, providing advanced skin therapists and aesthetic practitioners with a superior level of diagnostic expertise – a skill which is essential to anyone working within the medispa environment. You will learn to interpret in-depth information regarding a client’s general health and medical condition, environment or lifestyle all of which impact significantly on skin health and dysfunction. Such issues can be identified as the underlying causes of the majority of adverse skin conditions and an understanding of such influences is crucial to your accurate assessment.
In addition the course teaches you how to recognise the more intricate visual indications of skin disorders, damage and disease. We teach you how to perform a thorough zonal analysis of the skin including interpretation of key dermatological lesions and how to translate your analysis into effective and safe treatment planning.
True skin assessment goes far deeper than visual observation and understanding how to diagnose is a must for all skin specialists. Looking at environmental, nutritional and lifestyle influences will lead to recognise more intricate skin disfunction, disorder and disease
