Description
CERTIFICATE IN DERMATO NUTRITION AND HAIR HEALTH
Certificate in Dermato Nutrition and Hair Health is an advanced-level online program designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between nutrition, skin physiology, dermatological health, scalp health, and hair growth.
The course begins with the fundamental science of the skin, including skin anatomy, physiology, skin barrier function, hydration, microbiome, skin pH, pigmentation, and the biological processes involved in skin ageing. Participants then progress into the biochemical and nutritional aspects of skin health, exploring the roles of protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and functional foods.
The program also covers the nutrition management of common skin conditions, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, urticaria, pigmentation disorders, and ageing-related skin changes. Participants learn how dietary patterns, nutritional status, inflammation, oxidative stress, gut–skin interactions, and lifestyle factors may be considered when developing nutrition strategies.
A dedicated component focuses on hair and scalp nutrition, including hair follicle physiology, nutritional deficiencies associated with hair loss, iron and ferritin, vitamin D, vitamin B12, zinc, protein, thyroid-related nutrition, telogen effluvium, female pattern hair loss, alopecia nutrition support, and appropriate use of biotin and hair supplements.
The course further introduces dietary supplements and nutraceuticals, with emphasis on evidence-based use, indications, dosage considerations, safety, contraindications, drug–nutrient interactions, and distinguishing scientific evidence from marketing claims. It also introduces clinical supplementation principles such as the food-first approach, laboratory-based supplementation, and supplement considerations during pregnancy and lactation.
