Become a leader in Medical Aesthetics

Feel Prepared and Confident at Work

This is the real-no bullshit/fluff program, value-packed with information you will need to succeed in the Medical Aesthetics and Laser industry.

Have you recently graduated from a Medical Aesthetics certificate program and feel unprepared to provide a treatment to a paying patient/client? 

The reality is you are not prepared! But you are not alone!

I've been there, which was the motivator to create this course!

The current curriculum in most other programs does not prepare you even remotely well enough for what you will encounter in the field. It also does not cover everything the market and your patients/clients will demand and expect from you. I, too, felt the training I received that "Certified" me to be a Medical Aesthetician and Laser technician was sub-par and left me feeling like a fraud. Now, after 10+ years in the industry, I see the same feelings across new graduates who are applying for jobs and do not feel prepared.

Therefore, if you have not yet taken a certificate program but are interested in this career path, this course is a great place to start!

You need to know this content to provide a foundation to practice safely and mitigate risks and undesirable outcomes, such as burning a patient/client. No one wants to burn or harm anyone, especially not someone who has paid you for a service or who might want to sue for the harm you caused them. This is not discussed enough in the industry. Patient Safety will keep you awake at night! If you understand the basis and medically relevant theory, not only will you keep your future clients safe, but you will also be able to cultivate gorgeous skin for them! When you can do this safely and efficiently - the money will follow. The results will speak for themselves, and your happy patients/clients will spread the word and thus grow your success.

This certificate course compiles invaluable information from over ten years of hands-on experience, countless accredited courses and certificate programs, peer-reviewed articles, research papers, webinars, and conference seminars. It is compacted into this comprehensive program to get you where you need to be! 

Be empowered with the knowledge your patients/clients expect you to have to operate SAFELY and SUCCESSFULLY in the growing medical skin care field. 

Earn top dollar in your profession by becoming a MASTER medical aesthetician.
