1,200 Hour Program
We designed our 1,200-hour Master Esthetics Program for students who want a complete, career-ready education in advanced skincare. You’ll start by mastering the fundamentals during 600 hours of Basic Esthetics, then progress into 600 hours of advanced training. We pair your classroom theory with real hands-on practice on professional med spa equipment. By graduation, you will have mastered everything from facials and chemical peels to microneedling, laser and IPL theory, and the business skills that turn a license into a career.
