Cytrellis Named Strategic Industry Partner of Aesthetic Medicine Certificate Program at University of Miami Featuring ellacor® Micro-Coring® Technology
Collaboration with AFAAAS™ will provide nurse practitioners enrolled in the University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies, Aesthetic Medicine Certificate Program with hands-on exposure to advanced aesthetic technology
WOBURN, Mass., Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cytrellis Biosystems, Inc. ("Cytrellis") a medical aesthetics company bridging the gap in skin health and restoration, today announced its partnership with the Academy for Aesthetics and Anti-Aging Studies (AFAAAS™) for its Aesthetic Medicine Certificate Program, developed in academic partnership with the University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies.
Through this collaboration, Cytrellis will bring its ellacor® system with Micro-Coring® Technology into the program's hands-on educational workshops, giving participating nurse practitioners an opportunity to experience an innovative approach to aesthetic medicine in a structured educational setting.
The Aesthetic Medicine Certificate is a rigorous 12-week program designed for board-certified advanced practice registered nurses. Combining on-campus classroom instruction with supervised clinical training, the program provides an academically grounded pathway for nurse practitioners seeking specialized education in the rapidly evolving field of aesthetic medicine.
Cytrellis will support each of the program's three annual cohorts by providing an ellacor system for educational demonstrations, treatment tips and necessary supplies, and participation from qualified Cytrellis clinical educators who will lead designated hands-on workshops. The clinical education team will provide live demonstrations of the technology, introduce participants to the ellacor device and discuss appropriate professional use.
The first Cytrellis-supported hands-on session is scheduled for October 31, 2026, at the University of Miami Coral Gables campus.
"As aesthetic medicine continues to evolve, we believe education and hands-on clinical training are essential to advancing the field and supporting the next generation of aesthetic providers," said Denise Dajles, CEO of Cytrellis Biosystems. "We are proud to support AFAAAS and this innovative certificate program by giving nurse practitioners the opportunity to learn about ellacor and Micro-Coring Technology in a rigorous educational environment. Programs like this help foster a deeper understanding of emerging technologies and prepare providers to deliver thoughtful, informed patient care."
Bringing Advanced Aesthetic Technology Into the Educational Setting
The ellacor system utilizes proprietary Micro-Coring Technology to remove microscale cores of skin without the use of thermal energy. The technology offers aesthetic providers a differentiated approach to addressing moderate to severe skin laxity in the face and body. By incorporating exposure to technologies such as ellacor into hands-on workshops, the Aesthetic Medicine Certificate Program aims to connect academic learning with practical education on technologies being used in today's aesthetic practices.
"Our goal with the Aesthetic Medicine Certificate Program is to give nurse practitioners an educational foundation that combines academic rigor, clinical supervision and meaningful exposure to the technologies shaping modern aesthetic medicine," said Daniel L. Campos, DNP, APRN, program director and founder of the Ageless Forever Institute in Coral Gables. "Cytrellis' support allows our students to experience ellacor firsthand and learn directly from trained clinical educators, adding an important dimension to the hands-on component of the program."
The Aesthetic Medicine Certificate Program includes 60 total contact hours, comprising 40 hours of on-campus class instruction and 20 hours of supervised clinical training. The program is designed for qualified nurse practitioners and is delivered through live, weekly instruction at the University of Miami Coral Gables campus.
