It also covers ethical Aesthetic practices and on how to prevent & manage Aesthetic complications. The objective is to develop knowledgeable, skilled and confident Aesthetic Doctors.

The Professional Certificate in Advance Aesthetic is for Nurses, Aestheticians and Spa Owners. This Program trains them on the principles of Aesthetic Medicine and how to consult and assist in Aesthetic procedures in a correct manner.

The Advanced Trainings are stand-alone training for those who have completed the Professional Diploma in Aesthetic Medicine and slightly experienced practitioners. Beginners are advised to join the Professional Diploma programs.

All the Programs are NOT a cosmetology or a post-graduate course. Importantly, practitioners are trained to abide by their local health regulations pertaining to their eligibility to administer Aesthetic procedures in all IIWAM’s training Programs.

The Institute shall bear the cost of Botulinum toxin, Dermal Filler and Chemical Peel when the Trainer does the procedures for demonstration purposes.
