Bioesthetic Cosmetology
Advanced treatments.
Informed care for skin and body.
Bioesthetic Cosmetology approaches aesthetics through skin biology, each person’s individual needs and treatment safety. Choose this study track within the Master’s degree programme in Cosmetology at WAMT to develop expertise in designing advanced care programmes, using cosmetology equipment, improving the condition of skin, hair and nails, and working alongside other specialists. Learn not simply how to carry out treatments, but how to justify your choices and evaluate the results responsibly.
Who is this programme for?
For graduates of first-cycle Cosmetology programmes who want to deepen their expertise in bioesthetic skin care, equipment-based treatments and individually designed face and body care programmes.
For those interested in cosmetic trichology, treatments supporting lymphatic function, aesthetic physiotherapy, cosmetic acids and peels, and care for skin following procedures performed by other specialists.
For graduates of related programmes in medical and health sciences whose previous education provides a suitable basis for second-cycle Cosmetology studies. WAMT assesses eligibility using the diploma and diploma supplement; a bridging course may be required.
What will you gain from Bioesthetic Cosmetology?
Develop a deeper understanding of the skin and its tissues and learn to turn that knowledge into safe, personalised cosmetology care. This track combines equipment-based treatments, restorative care and aesthetic techniques with the practical assessment of indications and contraindications. You will build skills suited to modern clinics, specialist practices and wellness centres.
Cosmetology assessment – understand what the skin needs
Learn to conduct an in-depth consultation, assess skin condition, identify the factors that affect its appearance, and evaluate treatment indications and contraindications. You will distinguish cosmetic needs from signs that require medical assessment, allowing you to plan responsible and effective cosmetology care.
Aesthetic technologies – use equipment with confidence
Develop the skills to select equipment-based techniques for facial and body cosmetology. Explore how physical agents interact with tissues, safe operating procedures and the possibilities and limitations of non-invasive treatments designed to support skin firmness, appearance and condition.
Trichology and lymphatic care – broaden your expertise
Explore cosmetic trichology, scalp and hair care, and procedures that support normal lymphatic function. Learn to select appropriate techniques, assess individual needs and combine treatments into coherent, personalised care programmes.
Acids, peels and active ingredients – choose with purpose
Deepen your knowledge of active ingredients, cosmetic chemistry and mechanisms of action. Learn to plan care involving cosmetic acids and peels while taking account of skin type, treatment objectives, contraindications, safety profiles and appropriate aftercare.
Skin regeneration – support care after aesthetic procedures
Develop your ability to design care procedures that support skin recovery and help maintain the effects of aesthetic procedures carried out by other professionals. Learn to adapt cosmetology care to the condition of the skin and to the recommendations of the clinician responsible for the procedure.
Holistic aesthetics – combine science, communication and care
Explore how lifestyle, health, self-image and personal expectations shape the client experience. Strengthen your communication skills, learn to design SPA & Wellness treatments, work with clients who have additional needs, and critically assess new methods and trends in the beauty sector.

Your own practice and specialist development
Create a distinctive cosmetology service offering built on considered procedures, individual client assessments and high quality standards. Develop your business skills, teamwork and opportunities for further education and research.
The procedures you may perform, the positions you may hold and your participation in medical procedures depend on your qualifications, professional competence and applicable law. Completion of the degree does not, by itself, authorise you to perform activities reserved for regulated medical professions.
Practical learning – from skin assessment to informed bioesthetic care
A practice-oriented degree gives you direct experience of equipment, products and real challenges in cosmetology. Learn to plan procedures, assess indications and contraindications, evaluate safety, communicate with clients and collaborate with professionals in the sector.

You will examine how devices work, how to select parameters within permitted procedures, treatment indications and contraindications, and the principles of safe practice.
Active ingredients, assessment and safety – build strong foundations
The programme covers clinical dermatology, endocrinology, allergology, laboratory diagnostics for cosmetology, mechanisms of action of active ingredients and cosmetic product safety assessment. This knowledge helps you link individual skin needs with product selection and responsible assessment of suitable procedures.
Professional placements
The study plan includes 375 hours of professional placements, delivered in introductory, intermediate and advanced modules of 125 hours each.

Master’s seminars, research methodology and evidence-based cosmetology develop your ability to formulate research questions, identify reliable sources, analyse findings and assess the effectiveness of selected approaches in professional cosmetology.
Study-track modules – shape your specialist profile
Elective modules include treatments supporting lymphatic function, cosmetic trichology, cosmetic acids and peels, aesthetic physiotherapy, and care and regeneration of skin following invasive aesthetic procedures. The programme also covers specialist massage, aesthetic treatments, make-up techniques and English for Bioesthetic Cosmetology Specialists. The modules you take depend on the elective options selected.
Treatment design – consider the whole care pathway
In modules dedicated to designing treatments for clients with additional needs and to SPA & Wellness treatment design, you learn to combine consultation, needs assessment, choice of techniques, communication and aftercare. The goal is a coherent care plan rather than a stand-alone treatment.
Opportunities for further study
