Skincare brand Dermalogica has debuted a free online training course to strengthen industry knowledge on melanin-rich skin.
According to the company, the course – Treating Melanin-Rich Skin – aims to strengthen foundational knowledge of Fitzpatrick skin types IV-VI. The three modules cover patient experience, the science of melanin-rich skin structure, how different conditions present in darker skin and what contraindications may occur.
Heather Hickman, vice president of education at Dermalogica, has said, “Dermalogica was literally born from the idea that industry education could and should do more to set skin therapists up for success. As the leaders in skin treatment education, we’re driven by our purpose to elevate the industry through advanced education and skill development, and that includes ensuring that every skin professional is confident treating every skin tone.”
