Following a successful launch at America’s Beauty Show in April 2019, CIDESCO Skin Care and CIDESCO Body Therapy Certificates will soon be taught at cosmetology schools throughout the United States. Pivot Point Academy in Bloomingdale, Illinois is the next school to receive approval from CIDESCO International to integrate these programs into its aesthetics curriculum.

 The CIDESCO certificate in aesthetics curriculum includes education on facials, facial electrical treatments, and full-day, and night makeup, with a minimum of 730 hours recommended for completion. The CIDESCO certificate in body therapy protocol includes body analysis, pre-treatments, body electric treatments, and full-body massage, with 565 minimum hours of education recommended. The new CIDESCO certificates appeal to the growing number of aestheticians who want to specialize in their areas of interest.

 “With these CIDESCO certificates, our aestheticians can achieve a higher level of learning, as well as become affiliated with a worldwide peer-accreditation society,” said Denise Provenzano, owner of Pivot Point Academy. “We are delighted to offer the certificate program and engage our growing aesthetics community.” Pivot Point Academy joins Bellus Academy in San Diego, California as schools that are integrating the CIDESCO program into their curriculum.

 CIDESCO is represented by leading schools and colleges in more than 40 countries, across five continents, that meet CIDESCO standards and qualifications. The new CIDESCO certificates were developed in response to the changes and needs within the global beauty and spa industry.

 CIDESCO USA will continue to create new ways to achieve both certificate and diplomat status for America’s aestheticians. “I could not be more excited that Pivot Point Academy will now incorporate a CIDESCO certification program into her prestigious academy,” said Lydia Sarfati, CIDESCO USA Chairman. This is another indication of the continued growth of the education programs of CIDESCO USA.”
