In your 7-week third semester you’ll take advanced courses in:

the skin’s anatomy and physiology
skin diseases and disorders
clinical facials
laser technology
chemical peels
microdermabrasion

You’ll work with the latest technology, including a multi-functional laser. You’ll learn how to use it, along with other specialized tools and techniques, in the spa-classroom. Then, you'll practice your skills during public clinics in the student-led spa.

Clinical courses will be available to program alumni and other qualified estheticians. If you're interested, contact the health and wellness enrolment specialist.

As you prepare for your start date, review this important information.

You will be working in an environment where there is potential exposure to blood or bodily fluids, therefore it is strongly recommended that all your immunizations be kept up to date.

Enrolment is the final step after you've been accepted, paid your tuition deposit, and the timetable has been set.

You will be automatically enrolled in your courses.
You can expect to be enrolled approximately 1 month before the program start date.
Once you've been enrolled, your schedule will be available in My Lakeland.

If you completed relevant courses at another post-secondary institution, you may be eligible for transfer credit. Apply for transfer credit at least 2 months before classes start by completing the transfer credit form.

Review all of the other ways Lakeland does prior learning assessments.
