Diplomate
Upon completion of advanced mastership designation, facial esthetic healthcare professionals may voluntarily seek to certify their professional excellence through an evaluation and critique of their abilities by their colleagues. After validation of credentials, candidates are eligible to initiate the certifying process administered by the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE). This rigorous two-part examination is voluntary and is for the purpose of validating the candidates’ advanced training and their clinical and diagnostic abilities. Upon successful completion of the examinations, the candidate is designated a Diplomate of the AAFE and becomes a member of the College of Diplomates.
