WHERE DO I START?
Where should I begin with aesthetic trainings?
If you are just starting out in your aesthetic journey (< two years of experience), we welcome you to start with either:
Online Novice Neuromodulator and Novice Facial Filler Series through Teachable and then complete the companion course Combined Full Day Hands-On Training; or alternatively
Attend our two-day workshop at Soho House Chicago and the Confidence Lab.
This will provide you with the basis of knowledge necessary to jump-start your career in aesthetics. Both courses are jointly approved for Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits and Continuing Education (CE) hours
I have a little more experience; where do I start?
If you're a provider with two years experience or more, we recommend enrolling in either one or more of the following classes:
For a more specialized, boot camp-like experience, you can book a Confidence Hour –– a 60-minute intensive training session focused on one area of the face. Up to two Confidence Hours can be booked back-to-back. All these courses are jointly approved for Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits and Continuing Education (CE) hours
Both our Teachable and Patreon online options are excellent supplementary material, regardless of experience.
Are your courses approved through an accredited approver?
