What only SKIMS Academy offers
Live demonstration of every procedure
The entire hands-on portion is demonstrated by Dr. José Henrique himself, step by step, no shortcuts — you follow the clinical reasoning behind every application up close, not just the final result.
The five SKIMS Method modalities, in practice
SKIMS Rejuvenescimento (skin 40+), SKIMS Glow (skin up to 40), Chemical Blepharoplasty (eyelids), SKIMS Melani (blemishes and melasma), and SKIMS Point (acne scars) — combined, when indicated, with microneedling, subcision, drug delivery, exosomes, and PDRN.
Real cases, no easy selection
Patients for clinical day are chosen for their variety and complexity — different phototypes, ages, and degrees of damage. Every student leaves the immersion having applied all the modalities with their own hands, under direct supervision.
The protocol from the person who developed the method
The criteria Dr. José Henrique validated across more than 4,000 procedures — including how to handle complications — are shared with no half-measures: what works, what to avoid, and why.

Dr. José Henrique Effgen
Dental Surgeon · Creator of the SKIMS Method · Founder of SKIMS Academy
A dental surgeon since age 20, Dr. José Henrique built a reference position in skin treatment within just a few years of practice — especially in cases that did not respond well to conventional approaches: mature skin, melasma, and acne scars, including higher phototypes.
The SKIMS Method was born from that practice: over 4,000 procedures performed and thousands of patients treated gave rise to a proprietary protocol, with five modalities, designed to treat the skin as a whole — not as an isolated procedure.
Today, at the helm of SKIMS Academy, he has trained more than 100 professionals in Brazil and nine other countries — Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Paraguay, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and England — teaching the method he himself applies every day at SKIMS House, in São Paulo.
He is a guest speaker at leading national and international conferences — such as BAAS, the largest aesthetics conference in Latin America, CIOSP, and Estética In — and has already led 16 Immersion cohorts: 14 in Brazil and 2 international, in Santiago and Buenos Aires, with students from across Latin America.

No. The method combines TCA with an exclusive lipophilic active ingredient, which increases the acid's penetration and action without the risks associated with phenol — with a safety profile validated across thousands of procedures.
The five SKIMS Method modalities — Glow, Melani, Rejuvenescimento, Point, and Chemical Blepharoplasty — plus complementary therapies such as microneedling, subcision, drug delivery, exosomes, and PDRN.
Yes. Upon completing the immersion, you receive the official SKIMS Academy certificate, plus 6 months of ongoing support and access to the exclusive student group.

No phenol, while maintaining equivalent results. The exclusive lipophilic active ingredient enhances the action of TCA with more safety and predictability — and it covers all five modalities in a single protocol, instead of isolated techniques.
Access to an exclusive student group to discuss cases, ask application questions, and get direct guidance from Dr. José Henrique's team as you apply the method with your first patients.
9am to 10pm, with breaks — the 3 days add up to 24 hours of in-person immersion, between theory, live demonstration, and hands-on practice.
