AESTHETICS INSTITUTE

Equipment & Technology Masters Esthetics

The Aesthetics Institute makes investing in the school and our students a top priority, and this investment is reflected in the equipment and technology that supports the course instruction.

Diamond glow close up

Our education model prioritizes using a wide variety of tools, machines, products, modalities, and equipment every day under the direct supervision and guidance of our expert instructors.

The curriculum at the Aesthetics Institute is based on teaching the skills and techniques for providing top-level, in-demand spa services, unlike many other schools that base their curriculum around a specific product line or equipment brand.

Our school uses the same professional-grade tools and machines that estheticians will encounter when working in the beauty industry upon graduation. 

Our graduates are prepared to work in any professional environment and are not limited by only learning with niche products and on a singular equipment line.

High frequency equipment training with students

Our education philosophy is also based on the belief that to learn a skill proficiently, that skill must be practiced repeatedly. 

Our in-house, hands-on training portion of each of our courses includes significant time with all of the machines and modalities required to learn each new skill.

Providing daily student access to cutting-edge technology ensures each student has hands-on training with each machine and modality to gain comfort, confidence, and expertise.

DiamondGlow Microdermabrasion Device

The DiamondGlow is a microdermabrasion treatment device that uses a combination of exfoliation, extraction, and infusion. 

This simple, quick, and painless cosmetic treatment has minimal downtime and risk. It helps to exfoliate surface layers of skin using abrasion and gentle suction.

Microdermabrasion

The handpiece exfoliates the surface to uncover renewed skin underneath. The vacuum technology assists in extracting to cleanse the skin and remove debris from the pores deeply, all while also infusing the skin with one of SkinMedicas nourishing pro-infusion serums.

Unlike traditional wet facial serums, which rely on chemical exfoliation to treat the skin, DiamondGlow’s patented recessed diamond tip wand delivers a next-level resurfacing treatment that deeply cleanses and rejuvenates the skin.

The DiamondGlow dermabrasion device has a unique wand that uses a diamond tip to gently remove dead skin cells on the outer layer of your skin. 

The diamond tip exfoliates the skin, while high-powered suction deeply cleans your pores. As the handpiece moves across your skin, it simultaneously exfoliates, extracts impurities, and infuses serum into your skin.

There are six diamond tips to choose from, and each one is designed for a specific skin type and texture. You’ll also choose from five different serums designed to target specific skincare concerns:

Ultra-hydrating. Infuses your skin with hyaluronic acid to boost hydration and promote smooth, soft skin.

Skin brightening. This serum is rich in peptides to promote a smooth, even skin tone and improve hyperpigmentation.

Vitamin C. Helps fight the signs of aging with a blend of antioxidants to rejuvenate your skin.

TNS Advanced+. This serum improves the tone and texture of your skin and reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

These options make your treatment fully customizable based on your unique skin type and cosmetic goals.

Myolift Microcurrent Device

microcurrent machine

The Myolift Microcurrent Device by 7E is a mini microcurrent device that is a perfect add-on for most facial treatments. 

Microcurrent facials are highly sought-after treatments used to improve muscle tone. Clients love them as you can walk out of the treatment room looking refreshed and lifted.

 

Microcurrent facials tighten and smooth the muscles and connective tissues in the face by increasing cellular activity and have been shown to reduce wrinkles, mainly around the forehead area.

It is a non-invasive toning and tightening treatment that includes the face and neck. This treatment has the best results if done in a series.

This gentle, non-aggressive, non-invasive, and progressive treatment results in skin tightening, toning, and firming. In fact, the results from microcurrent facial toning can be so dramatic that they are often referred to as “non-surgical face lifts.”

Microcurrent devices use low levels of safe, painless electrical impulses to the face and neck muscles. The overly-tightened muscles relax, and under-worked muscles regain their strength.

In essence, microcurrent facial toning re-educates the facial muscles and restores them closer to their original shape. When this happens, the visible results are quite dramatic, and the face is lifted, firmed, and toned back to a much more youthful appearance. 

At the same time, the microcurrent improves circulation that stimulates the production of collagen, improves tone and texture, and improves or eliminates fine lines.

Preime Dermafacial Advanced Aesthetics Facial Device

Essential DermaFacial at The Aesthetics Institute
Preime Dermafacial machine

The Preime Dermafacial system features five different technologies, with multiple protocols in one machine and an intelligent skin management platform designed to ensure consistent results and client satisfaction. 

Every handpiece targets a different layer of the skin, giving you endless options for customizable treatments. 

Aqua B. Merges high-tech spiral movement with vacuum technology and a combination of three special serums. This handpiece will cleanse, hydrate, and prepare the skin for the next step in any facial procedure. 

Vibrox. A vibrating handpiece featuring red light therapy for enhanced healing and collagen production. The special serums combined with the vibrating handpiece give you what is called a “co2 microdermabrasion,” resulting in oxygenation of the skin.

You have two different options for “tips” on this handpiece- a massage tip that will give you more of a relaxing, traditional facial type of experience or an exfoliating tip, which can be used to achieve a deeper exfoliation.

Micro T. A bi-polar microcurrent handpiece for supporting muscle toning in the jawline, cheekbones, and above and below the brow. 

Collagen + A dual bi-polar radiofrequency device that evenly heats tissue up to 39-42 degrees Celsius to stimulate the neocollagenesis process. When heating the tissue to these temperatures, we are inducing optimal thermal damage to stimulate the natural wound-healing process, which results in the production of collagen in the skin.

Ultra B-. The last step in any treatment with the Preime is designed to drive ingredients deeper into the skin. Using ultrasound technology to open up microchannels within the skin, waving this handpiece over the special serums containing panthenol and hyaluronic acid will enhance product penetration, leading to improve moisture retention of the targeted skin.
