A practical path into clinical esthetics

The SKIN+ Clinical Esthetics Diploma is a one-year, hands-on program focused on how professional skin therapy works across spa, medi-esthetic, and clinical environments. It’s built for people who want practical skills, clear structure, and a realistic path into early-career esthetics roles.

You don’t have to have it all figured out

Not everyone enters esthetics school knowing exactly where they want to work. Some students are drawn to spa environments. Others are interested in advanced skin treatments or clinical settings. Many simply want a program that gives them strong foundations and room to grow.

This diploma is designed for people who want structure, hands-on experience, and confidence to pursue work in the esthetics industry.
