Great hands on time with models and didactic time about muscles and what they control. The instructors are very hands on and knowledgeable keeping you at ease the whole time. They alleviate all your fears and you really leave there with a solid foundation! Great class: did beginner and advanced.
10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! I just completed 3 days of training to be certified in essential and advanced injections, as well as PRP and microneedling. Heather, our instructor, was an absolute delight! Her knowledge and expertise in the field of medical aesthetics is phenomenal. She is caring and calm as she guided us and believed in us to accomplish successful injecting techniques and cosmetic outcomes! Christine, was also present for the 3 days and kept everything organized and ready for the best hands on experience I could have ever imagined! From didactic learning to visual and then to be able to apply what we learned in a hands on experience, was by far, Top Notch! I am forever grateful for what ILM has to offer and already planning my next courses with ILM! They leave you with all the information, skills, and resources needed in a successful transition from bedside nursing to the medical aesthetics world. Thank you, Heather and Christine!!
ILM is life changing. I have been doing trainings and spending money for the past several months to dive into the aesthetics industry and this was the best money I have ever spent! It is worth the money! I was honestly scared to step into the aesthetics industry. As a nurse for 15 years, aesthetics has a lot of competition — it can feel overwhelming and intimidating to even take that first step. But once I did, I realized that the Institute of Laser Medicine is truly something special. It’s a magical place where you immediately feel like you belong. From the moment I walked in, everyone was so kind, welcoming, and genuine. The owners are not only knowledgeable and professional — they’re down to earth. It almost felt too good to be true — like finding a diamond while chasing my dream. I took my course with Heather, and she was absolutely amazing. Her calm presence in a room full of newbies was so reassuring. Unlike other trainings I’ve taken where you only get to do a “half lip” or partial treatment, ILM lets you complete a full client experience. Heather guides you through every step, whether you’re nervous, scared, or completely confident. She meets you exactly where you are and helps you grow. Christine, the director, truly one of the best people I’ve met — caring, supportive, and deeply passionate about helping others succeed. She believes in your potential even before you do. She offered me a shadow day, which I accepted right away because I wanted to learn everything I could. While I may have experience as a nurse, I’m new to this aesthetics — and Christine made that transition feel empowering instead of intimidating. During my shadow day, I spent time with Melina, who has been with ILM for a while. She welcomed me with open arms and zero judgment about what I didn’t know or all of my questions. Her kindness, patience, and willingness to share her expertise were incredible. So often in life, we’re surrounded by people who give us a million reasons why we shouldn’t follow our dreams. At ILM, it’s the opposite. Their contagious support, kindness, and expertise not only inspire you to learn — they make you believe in yourself. If you’re on the fence, take the leap. ILM isn’t just a training you on aesthetics— it’s a community that helps you become the best version of yourself, both personally and professionally. ✨
