Programs at the Miami campus
We train three distinct audiences. Pick the path that matches your license.
Become a Florida facial specialist. Board-approved program plus the required 4-hour HIV/AIDS course — no state practical exam required. Learn facials, peels, dermaplaning, microneedling, and the business of building a client book in one of the country's busiest beauty markets.
For RNs ready to move into aesthetics. Clinical foundations of injectables and energy-based devices. In Florida, RNs may inject only under the direct supervision of a physician (LPNs are not eligible).
Advanced medical-aesthetics training for prescribing and supervising providers — injectables, biostimulators, energy devices, and med-spa clinical protocols.
Estheticians cannot inject. Injectable training is for licensed medical professionals within their Florida scope of practice.
