Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between microdermabrasion and a HydraFacial?
Microdermabrasion uses a diamond-tip handpiece to physically exfoliate the outer layer of skin, removing dead cells and promoting cell turnover. A HydraFacial uses a vortex-style suction with hydrating serums to cleanse, extract, and moisturize the skin simultaneously. Our course in Coquitlam, BC teaches both techniques so you can assess each client's skin type and goals to recommend the most effective treatment.
Do I need experience to take a microdermabrasion and HydraFacial course?
No prior experience is needed — beginners are welcome. The 5-hour Microdermabrasion & Hydra Facial Technician course at BC Medical Aesthetic starts with skin assessment fundamentals and builds to hands-on treatment delivery. You will learn contraindication identification, skin preparation, technique selection by skin type, and proper aftercare so you can perform both treatments safely and confidently.

The Microdermabrasion & Hydra Facial Technician course at BC Medical Aesthetic in Coquitlam is $1,650 total ($1,500 tuition plus $150 in fees).
