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.
