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.

What Fairfax Gets From Skippack
ILM has trained injectors since 2007 and is headquartered in Skippack, Pennsylvania; the Fairfax class is the Skippack class on the road. Your teaching team is ILM’s own, active practitioners who treat patients between classes. The live models, the 6-student cap, and the Merz, Galderma, Revance, and Revanesse products travel with them, so nothing about your course is scaled down for Virginia.
What stays in Pennsylvania is the building. Fairfax classes meet in a hotel conference room in the Fairfax area, with the venue confirmed in your enrollment materials. The complimentary shadow day and apprenticeship hours you earn by finishing both days take place at the Skippack Med Spa.
The Two Days, Step by Step
Day 1 is the Essential Injection Training, and it starts at the beginning: no injection experience is expected. Your morning covers facial anatomy, patient safety, indications and contraindications, patient assessment, and product preparation. Then you inject 30 units of neurotoxin and 1 syringe of filler on live models, working the glabella, forehead, crow’s feet, marionette lines, and lips.
Day 2 is the Advanced Injection Training: 50 units and 1 syringe across the masseters, platysmal bands, cheeks, jawline, and chin. You earn 7.75 CNE credits and a certificate of completion for each day you attend, 15.5 credits and 2 certificates for both.
Where the Fairfax Class Meets
The class meets in a hotel conference room in the Fairfax area; ILM confirms the exact venue in your enrollment materials once you register. Fairfax is the ILM classroom for Virginia, Washington, DC, and Maryland, and the nearest one if you live anywhere south of Pennsylvania.
For scale: downtown Washington is about 19 miles from Fairfax, Baltimore about 56, and Richmond about 100. ILM’s Skippack Med Spa, where the most dates are held, is about 175 miles north, 3 hours or more by car; its sessions are on the Philadelphia page. The Fairfax location page carries the current Fairfax class openings.

Why Mid-Atlantic Injectors Train With ILM
Six students means your instructor watches every injection you make and corrects it before your next one. If you want more supervised practice after the course, you can continue in the Aesthetic Apprentice Program.
From ILM’s graduates: “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.” And, on the shadow day: “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.”
ILM also brings laser hair removal training to Fairfax. If you would rather train inside ILM’s own Med Spa, the Skippack sessions are on the Philadelphia page.
