Lifestyle-related chronic conditions often present with aesthetic signs and symptoms. Fortunately, the gut-skin axis and gut-brain-skin axis are well defined in the scientific literature and these connections present an opportunity for improving outcomes in aesthetic patients.
Research is identifying the mechanisms through which nutritional compounds exert therapeutic effects on the body. This understanding has fuelled an interest that is filtering through to every field of medicine and nutrient therapies are fast becoming an essential adjunct in any clinical setting.
“Nutrient Therapies in the Aesthetic Setting” explores the ground-breaking science into longevity, epigenetics, personalised nutrition, and precision medicine, and presents the evidence for nutritional interventions to support the underlying mechanisms responsible for health and longevity. This forms the basis for the role of nutrients in managing inflammageing and aesthetic presentations.
This course provides the practitioner with a framework for the safe implementation of evidence-based oral and injectable nutrient therapies as an adjunct to their services, giving them the advantage of offering a wholistic and modern approach to patient management.
“Nutrient Therapies in the Aesthetic Setting” is an 8-part course, with over 10 hours of content and is an absolute must for aesthetics practitioners.
