The development of clinical cosmetology represents an important breakthrough in the development of medical sciences. Great technological developments have already taken place in this field and many are yet to occur. In parallel, there is a growing interest from both the medical community and the patients, who are looking for personalised aesthetic solutions.
The Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Cosmetology (PGDCC) by ICAM equips students with the knowledge and expertise required to be experts in cosmetology treatments.
ICAM follows world-class curricula and focuses on international guidelines to provide the latest training to students and make them highly competent medical professionals.
As modern medical science and aesthetic beauty treatments combined, clinical cosmetology arose as a completely new field, flourishing at an astounding speed in recent years in India as well as abroad.
Subsequently there has been an increase in demand by medical scholars and practicing doctors for medical institutes that can impart certifications in the growing field of cosmetology.
