The term “dermal
therapist” is used
quite loosely, and
consumers should
look for a
qualifi cation in
dermal therapies
that is nationally
accredited
industry,’ says Wardle. ‘The therapist’s job will be much more rewarding when
they are delivering meaningful results for their clients. The business will continue
to grow on the strength of these loyal and satisfi ed clients.’
Considering most dermal therapies are unregulated in Australia – with the
exception of high-grade lasers in some states – a stamp of qualifi cation acts as a
distinguishing factor when consumers are deciding to undergo treatment.
Jorgensen encourages patients to evaluate the level and quality of training of
a dermal therapist before undertaking treatment. She explains the same goes for
clinic employers and budding therapists.
‘The term “dermal therapist” is used quite loosely, and consumers, employers,
therapists and nurses should be advised to seek a qualifi cation in dermal therapies
that is nationally accredited and recognised as part of the Australian Qualifi cation
Framework,’ she explains. ‘This qualifi cation should also be recognised by the
cosmetic medical profession, as well as being nationally attributed.’
With the rise and rise of non-invasive cosmetic procedures, dermal therapists
have become increasingly sought after. Younger patients are seeking intervention
earlier, and facial rejuvenation is now a long-term venture, spanning decades.
Communication, people skills and an understanding of individual skin needs
are essential attributes in the modern-day dermal therapist. These help build
long-standing relationships with clients, and in delivering effective, results-driven
treatments. Quality education, and experience with up-to-date parameters, is
vital in boosting and maintaining the standards and credibility of dermal therapy
in Australia. csbm
