Meet Sarah — ILM Graduate & Owner of Forte Faces (Conshohocken, PA)
+ Read Sarah's story
Sarah trained at ILM in 2018 and is now co-founder and owner of Forte Faces, a medical aesthetic and wellness practice in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. After completing ILM's injectable training she landed her first med spa role, later worked alongside a plastic surgeon, and eventually opened her own practice — which she has now owned for three years. She points to ILM's hands-on, live-model training as what set the program apart from other schools.
"Not only were we able to learn didactic in the classroom, we were able to apply it to a patient directly after… If you're a nurse trying to get away from the bedside or start a career in aesthetics, I highly recommend ILM."
— Sarah, Owner, Forte Faces
Hi, I'm Sarah. I am co-founder and owner at Forte Faces in Conshohocken. Upon my completion of the ILM course, I landed my first job at a med spa. I worked there for several years and then decided I wanted to further my career, so I started working side by side with a plastic surgeon. All of that experience over those years led me to opening my own practice. Forte Faces is a medical aesthetic and wellness practice, and I think what sets us apart is our patient experience and our provider education. One of the things that stood out to me about ILM in comparison to other schools was the hands-on training — not only were we able to learn didactic in the classroom, we were able to apply it to a patient directly after. I took classes at ILM back in 2018. Now it is 2026 and I have been the proud co-owner of Forte Faces for three years. If you're a nurse trying to get away from the bedside or start a career in aesthetics, I highly recommend ILM. Their program has evolved even since I was there in 2018 and now includes shadow days, apprenticeship, and continued support throughout your entire career.
Meet Rebekah — ILM Graduate & Owner of Blume House of Aesthetics & Wellness
+ Read Rebekah's story
Rebekah is the owner of Blume House of Aesthetics and Wellness. Before training with ILM, she worked as a geriatrics nurse at a local hospital. Drawn to aesthetics by its focus on wellness and building patients' confidence, she chose ILM for its long-established reputation, CEU-accredited training, and boutique small classes with hands-on, one-on-one instruction. She credits ILM's passionate instructors for making the training both enjoyable and rewarding.
"Change doesn't come from a comfortable place. It comes when you are willing to step out and grow."
— Rebekah, Owner, Blume House of Aesthetics & Wellness
My name is Rebekah, and I'm the owner of Blume House of Aesthetics and Wellness. Before training with ILM, I was a nurse at a local hospital working in geriatrics. What inspired me to get into aesthetics is the focus on wellness and the individual — building confidence in people. I love it when they come see me and I get to educate them and make them feel more confident about themselves. The reason I chose ILM for my training is that they're well established; they've been around for a long time. They give CEUs for their training, and they have boutique small classes where we get hands-on with one-on-one instructors. The instructors at ILM make class fun. You can tell that they're very passionate about what they do and they love to teach, so it just makes it more enjoyable and you get so much out of it. If you're a nurse considering ILM, I just want to encourage you to get out there and try it. Step away from the bedside. Change doesn't come from a comfortable place — it comes when you are willing to step out and grow.
Enhance Your Career with Premier Neurotoxin & Filler Training
At ILM, you’ll gain the skills and confidence to succeed in a fast-growing field. Our expert-led classes are small, personal, and designed to prepare you for real-world success. Request more information now! No obligation, just the details you need to make the right choice.
Program Overview
For experienced injectors ready to go beyond fundamentals, this course challenges practitioners who already understand basic neurotoxin and filler application with complex treatment areas that beginner training programs never cover. ILM has been refining this advanced curriculum for nearly 20 years, and every technique is practiced on live models under expert supervision. In one intensive day, you’ll gain the clinical confidence and hands-on experience to handle the cases that separate basic injectors from sought-after aesthetic specialists.
What Advanced Techniques Will You Master
Morning: In-depth review of advanced facial anatomy, cosmetic indications for complex areas, contraindications, advanced safety protocols, and product preparation for difficult-to-treat zones.
Afternoon: Hands-on live model training covering:
- Masseter treatment (jawline slimming and TMJ relief)
- Platysmal bands (neck rejuvenation)
- Cheek augmentation and contouring
- Jawline definition
- Chin enhancement
These are the treatment areas that separate a basic injector from a sought-after aesthetic specialist.
Premium products from Merz, Galderma, Revance, and Revanesse are included at no extra cost, and students may serve as models to receive treatments during class.

Prerequisites: Who This Course Is Designed For
This advanced course is designed for licensed medical professionals who have already completed foundational injection training. You must be a registered nurse, nurse practitioner, physician associate, dentist, doctor, or physician to enroll. Proof of credentials is required.
Completion of a beginner or essential injection course is required, either ILM’s Essential Injection Training or an equivalent program. This is not a beginner course, and students should have foundational knowledge of injection techniques before attending.
Short on time? The 2-Day Botox & Filler Training bundles Essential + Advanced back-to-back for 15.5 CNE credits total, giving you both certifications in a single two-day intensive session.
The ILM Difference: Why Advanced Training Matters More Than You Think
Nearly 20 years of refining advanced injection curricula means ILM has trained thousands of practitioners. At the advanced level, technique precision is everything, and that’s why ILM keeps class sizes small (6 students max) so instructors can observe and correct your approach in real time, ensuring you’re building the muscle memory and clinical judgment needed for complex cases.
Your instructors are active practitioners who perform these exact treatments on patients every single week. They teach from current clinical experience, not outdated textbooks, which means you’ll learn the techniques and workflows that actually work in a real aesthetic practice.
Training on live models means you’ll feel real tissue resistance, observe actual anatomical variation between individuals, and practice adapting your approach to each patient, something you can’t learn from cadavers or mannequins.
Emphasis on safety is paramount at the advanced level. Masseters and platysmal bands require precise understanding of anatomy to avoid complications, and ILM’s curriculum reflects the clinical discipline needed when treating these sensitive areas.
