We invite you to the amazing trip to the skin. You will learn about the structure and functions of your skin, how does it change and interact with the environment. In our course, we will talk about different skin diseases, as well as how to treat them. You will learn how the skin changes with age, understand the specific issues typical for the skin in different ages, and find out the effective ways to treat your skin with care.
