Lasers are the number one area where physicians and nurses overspend because they don't know the business. It is critical that you understand what each laser can do, and more importantly, what it cannot do. Sales people tend to take advantage of naive medical professionals. Beware of the education that comes from them! This course will include an introduction to the concept of medical lasers including working with them safely, broadband light (BBL), Nd:YAG, diode hair removal, radio frequency skin tightening, resurfacing lasers and microdermabrasion.

Students will learn how to differentiate between skin types, assess needs, set treatment parameters, determine phases of hair growth, and how to present treatment outcomes to your clients while maintaining safety standards.

This course will provide you with so much practical information about what lasers are and how they can fit into your Medical Aesthetics practice!

My course was well planned, organized and delivered. I arrived at the training centre with doubts about my desire to pursue this new branch of my career and a fuzzy idea about steps to take to organize it. It is clear now. I know I love this, I have the ability to develop competence in the field and I trust I will be able to develop and organize the business aspects of this new endeavour. Your staff is competent in their knowledge and in their abilities to transfer their expertise. They are kind, patient and have a good sense of humour. I would like to thank the demo patients. All of them were quite calm, patient and collaborative with the whole process. Not an easy task! I wish to extend a special thank you to Krystal for her guidance.

I was recommended this course by one of my friends who has taken it and I was told it was really good so... I really enjoyed the fact that we had so much hands-on practical portion of the training, that's not something you see in a lot of courses so that was really nice to see live patients and be able to actually do the injections. [IIAM] have done a really good job of covering all the bases - not just technique but the products and how to use them and even to a point where we are learning about the business aspect of it and how to manage patients... It's been very very informative. I highly recommend it, it was an easy no-brainer.

I wanted to write to say thanks for a most interesting and instructive course. Clearly, you have refined this course to make it work so well, and I was impressed by how well the timing worked, how well your nurses demonstrated to us, and how cleverly designed it was to allow us to learn bit by bit so it wasn't overwhelming. Overall it was a great learning experience and I just hope now I can put at least some of it into practice!

About seven years ago, when I thought I was going to do my whole career in [emergency medicine] I realized it was unsustainable, and really had to do some soul searching about what I wanted to do, how I wanted to pivot and that's when I found [IIAM] and pursued the training. Now I am at the point where I am working independently and am the medical director of Martin's Rejuvenation Centre and it's been an incredible journey. The [IIAM] aesthetic training really provided me with a springboard for a new life in a new career. The entry-level course is focused on neuromodulator and filler practical experience and really gives you the tools to do an assessment, formulate a treatment plan and get an understanding of how to set expectations.
