TRAINING INSTITUTE

Why Core Aesthetic Training Institute?

As the popularity of facial injectables continues to grow, so has the demand for skilled injectors. But the biggest challenge in entering this field has been gaining actual hands-on experience in the use of these products as well as understanding how to start and grow a successful injectable practice. And while most medical device and pharmaceutical companies do offer some form of training, they are limited by the FDA in the scope of this training and are restricted to on-label direction only. With a combined experience of over 20 years in the Medical Aesthetics Industry, we have had the honor of training with and for Medical Aesthetic practices across the country, and we can't wait to share our expertise with you.
Train with the best. To be your best.

For over 15 years, I have had the honor of training medical practices across the country in the area of facial injectables as well as business development/marketing/branding. In addition, I was the lead author of “Beauty and the Business,” which was published and released in 2010 and has served as a platform for several national practice development training courses.
