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.

— 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.

Who Can Take Botox Training in Pennsylvania
ILM’s injectable courses are open to licensed medical professionals only: registered nurses, nurse practitioners, physician associates, dentists, doctors, and physicians. Proof of active state licensure is required at enrollment. The courses are not open to estheticians, medical assistants, or other unlicensed practitioners.
No prior injection experience is needed for Day 1. Day 2 is built for injectors who have completed foundational training, and Day 1 is that foundation. You leave with a certificate of completion for each day and 7.75 CNE credits per day, 15.5 for both. If you are not sure whether your license qualifies, call Admissions at 1-888-660-0082 before you enroll.
What You Learn in 2 Days
Day 1, the Essential Injection Training, is for injectors with no prior experience. In the morning you cover facial anatomy, indications and contraindications, product preparation and patient assessment. Your afternoon is on live models: 30 units of neurotoxin and 1 syringe of filler across the glabella, forehead, crow’s feet, marionette lines, and lips.
Day 2, the Advanced Injection Training, moves to the areas that separate a basic injector from a sought-after one: masseters for jaw slimming, platysmal bands for the neck, cheeks, jawline, and chin. You inject 50 units of neurotoxin and 1 syringe of filler on live models. You can take either day on its own, or take both back to back and leave with 15.5 CNE credits and two certificates of completion.

Why Philadelphia-Area Injectors Train at ILM
Classes are capped at 6, so your instructor is beside you for every injection rather than across a ballroom. Your instructors are active practitioners who treat patients at the Skippack Med Spa, which means the technique you learn is the one they use on patients every week. And the relationship continues after the course: a shadow day in the practice, apprenticeship hours, and the Aesthetic Apprentice Program for graduates who want more time beside a mentor.
From ILM’s graduates: “My first experience was taking the essential injections class with Melina, who is an amazing teacher, very down to earth and personable. She knows how to be professional while also taking the time to make sure her students know what they are doing and feel comfortable.” Another graduate of the Essential day wrote of the instructor: “The class is perfect to learn the basics and fundamentals of injections. He makes sure your first time injecting someone is as safe and precise as possible, and makes sure your model also has great results.”
The same course runs in Manhattan, Boston, Pittsburgh, Fairfax, and Lancaster; the Skippack sessions are the only ones held in ILM’s own practice. See everything ILM offers in the Philadelphia area on the Philadelphia location page.

Where in Pennsylvania ILM Teaches
Skippack. ILM’s headquarters and Med Spa at 4092 Skippack Pike, Skippack, PA 19474, in Montgomery County about 30 miles northwest of Center City Philadelphia. It is ILM’s own practice, it carries the most dates, and if you complete both days, your complimentary shadow day and apprenticeship hours happen here. Details and dates: Botox & Filler Training in Philadelphia, PA.
Pittsburgh. Hotel conference space in Pittsburgh that ILM transforms into its injectables classroom for both days. The closest ILM classroom if you live in western Pennsylvania. Details and dates: Botox & Filler Training in Pittsburgh, PA.
Lancaster. A working medical spa in Lancaster. The closest ILM classroom if you are in Lancaster, York, or Harrisburg. Lancaster dates are posted below as they are confirmed.
Choosing Between Skippack, Pittsburgh, and Lancaster
The course you take is identical in all 3 cities. The instructors are the same active practitioners who treat patients every day, and so are the curriculum, the live-model practice, the 6-student cap, and the Merz, Galderma, Revance, and Revanesse products you inject with. So choose by your drive and by the setting you want. Skippack is your pick if you want to train inside ILM’s own Med Spa or want the widest choice of dates. Pittsburgh is your pick west of the Alleghenies. Lancaster is your pick for south-central Pennsylvania when a date is on the calendar.
What the 2 Days Cover
Day 1, the Essential Injection Training, starts from zero and needs no prior injection experience. Your morning covers facial anatomy, patient safety, indications and contraindications, patient assessment, and product preparation. Your afternoon is 30 units of neurotoxin and 1 syringe of filler on live models, treating the glabella, forehead, crow’s feet, marionette lines, and lips.
Day 2, the Advanced Injection Training, is 50 units and 1 syringe across the masseters, platysmal bands, cheeks, jawline, and chin. Each day is worth 7.75 CNE credits and comes with its own certificate of completion. You can take one day or both.

Why Pennsylvania Injectors Choose ILM
ILM’s Continuing Nursing Education program is approved by the Pennsylvania State Nurses Association, so the 15.5 CNE credits are Pennsylvania-approved credits earned in a Pennsylvania classroom. ILM has trained injectors since 2007, and its instructors treat patients in the same Skippack practice where the shadow day takes place. If you want more mentored practice after the course, you can continue in the Aesthetic Apprentice Program.
From ILM’s graduates: “From the moment I walked in, everyone was so kind, welcoming, and genuine. The owners are not only knowledgeable and professional, they’re down to earth.” And: “ILM is life changing. I have been doing trainings and spending money for the past several months to dive into the aesthetics industry, and this was the best money I have ever spent!”
ILM also teaches laser hair removal, comprehensive laser, laser tattoo removal, SkinPen microneedling, and chemical peels in Pennsylvania; the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh location pages have the city overviews.

Course Overview
This is the nurse injector training at ILM: a 2-day Botox and filler course for licensed nurses, nurse practitioners, physician associates, dentists, doctors, and physicians. Two intensive days that take you from foundational techniques through advanced application. This course bundles ILM’s Essential Injection Training (Day 1) and Advanced Injection Training (Day 2) into a single, back-to-back certification experience. Plus, earn 15.5 CNE credits. For nearly 20 years, ILM has been the training program that licensed medical professionals trust when they want real hands-on experience with live models, not theoretical lectures with mannequins.
Two Days, Two Courses, One Transformative Experience
This two-day intensive consolidates ILM’s two most popular injection courses into one back-to-back, two-day program. You’ll move from Essential Injection Techniques on Day 1 to Advanced Injection Techniques on Day 2, building your skills progressively and practicing every technique on live models.
Day 1 is where your injectable career begins. The morning covers facial anatomy in clinical detail, patient safety protocols, cosmetic indications and contraindications, thorough patient assessment, and product preparation. You’ll understand not just how to inject, but why the anatomy matters and how to protect your patients.
In the afternoon, you’ll practice both neurotoxin and dermal filler techniques on live models. Treatment areas include the glabella (frown lines), periocular region (crow’s feet), frontalis (forehead lines), marionette lines, and lips. By the end of Day 1, you will have performed real injections on real patients. Day 1 earns you 7.75 CNE credits.
Day 2 builds directly on the foundation you’ve established. The morning deepens your anatomical knowledge with advanced theory, complex treatment planning strategies, and sophisticated product selection. The afternoon brings you into advanced treatment areas on live models: the masseter (for jawline slimming and TMJ relief), platysmal bands (neck rejuvenation), cheeks, jawline, and chin.
The progression from Day 1 to Day 2 feels natural and logical. You’re not jumping between unrelated skills, you’re advancing systematically. Day 2 adds another 7.75 CNE credits, bringing your total to 15.5 credits earned in two days.

Why Nearly 20 Years of Experience Makes the Difference
ILM has been training injectors since the early days of the aesthetics boom. That’s nearly two decades of continuously refined curriculum, instructors who’ve personally injected thousands of patients, and a deep understanding of what students actually need to succeed in this field.
Small boutique class sizes are core to the ILM philosophy. With no more than 6 students per session, every person receives individual attention and constructive feedback from the instructor. You’re not a student number in a large lecture hall. Your learning style, questions, and concerns are addressed personally.
Hands-on training begins on Day 1. You’re not practicing on mannequins with pre-marked injection sites. You’re working with real skin, real anatomy, and real tissue response. This is how you build muscle memory that transfers directly to your practice.
All ILM instructors are active practitioners. They treat patients daily and bring current clinical insight into every teaching session. When an instructor discusses advanced jawline contouring or shows you how to treat the periocular area safely, they’re drawing on recent patient interactions, not outdated protocols.
Our primary location in Skippack, PA is a fully operational aesthetic practice where you see how training translates into daily clinical work. When ILM brings this course to other markets, we use carefully curated venues that maintain the same professional standards.
Post-graduation support is built into the program, not sold as an upsell. Your complimentary apprenticeship hours and shadow day are investments ILM makes in your success. We want you to launch your injectable career with confidence, and we’re committed to that outcome.
Students consistently describe the ILM experience as intimate and mentorship-focused. Many report feeling like they have a personal mentor rather than just a classroom teacher. That’s the difference nearly 20 years of expertise and intentional class design can make.

The Art of Facial Harmony: Why Integrated Botox and Filler Training is Essential for Advanced Aesthetic Results
In the evolving landscape of aesthetic medicine, practitioners are increasingly recognized not just as clinicians, but asartists. The human face, a canvas of unique contours and expressions, demands more than a technical, one-size-fits-all approach. Achieving truly exceptional, natural-looking results hinges on a deep understanding of facial harmony, a delicate balance of structure, movement, and volume. This is precisely why integrated botox and filler training is becoming indispensable for medical professionals aspiring to deliver advanced aesthetic outcomes.
Understanding Facial Harmony: Beyond Isolated Treatments
Facial harmony isn’t about erasing every line or inflating every feature. It’s about understanding the intricate relationships between different facial zones and how they contribute to an individual’s overall appearance and expressiveness. Think of it like a skilled sculptor who doesn’t just focus on one part of a statue but considers how each curve and plane interacts to create a cohesive, balanced masterpiece.
When we treat the face, we’re not just addressing isolated wrinkles or areas of volume loss. We’re influencing a dynamic system. The muscles that create expression lines (targeted by Botox) are intimately linked with the underlying soft tissues and bone structures that provide volume and support (addressed by dermal fillers). A change in one area inevitably impacts the perception of another. For instance, relaxing a hyperactive muscle in the forehead can subtly alter the brow’s position, which in turn affects the appearance of the upper eyelids. Similarly, restoring volume to the mid-face with fillers can soften nasolabial folds and even improve the appearance of the jawline.
The Synergy of Botox and Fillers: A Holistic Approach
This is where the power of integrated botox and filler training truly shines. By learning these modalities in conjunction, practitioners develop a more holistic perspective. They begin to see the face as an interconnected whole, rather than a series of separate treatment zones.
Consider the interplay between dynamic lines and volume loss. Often, a patient presents with concerns that are best addressed by a combination approach. For example, deep frown lines (the “elevens”) might be caused by overactive corrugator muscles but exacerbated by a loss of soft tissue volume in the glabella region. Treating with Botox alone might soften the lines, but the underlying depression could remain. Conversely, using filler alone might plump the area but won’t address the muscular hyperactivity, potentially leading to a less natural or shorter-lived result.
An integrated training approach teaches practitioners to:
- Assess comprehensively: Evaluate how muscle movement and volume deficits contribute together to the patient’s aesthetic concerns.
- Strategize synergistically: Develop treatment plans where Botox and fillers work in concert to achieve optimal, harmonious results. This might involve using Botox to relax certain muscles, thereby enhancing the longevity and effect of fillers in adjacent areas, or using fillers to support tissues that are also being influenced by muscle movement.
- Master nuanced techniques: Understand the different rheologies of various fillers and how they interact with tissues that are also being influenced by neuromodulators. This allows for more precise placement and natural integration of products.
Bridging the Gap: Why Separate Training Can Fall Short
Traditionally, Botox and dermal fillers might have been taught as separate modules or courses. While foundational knowledge in each is crucial, this siloed approach can sometimes leave practitioners with a fragmented understanding of facial dynamics. They might become proficient in injecting one product or the other but lack the deeper insight into how these treatments can be strategically combined for superior, more natural-looking outcomes.
Integrated botox and filler training bridges this gap. It encourages a thought process that is inherently three-dimensional and dynamic, considering both the “relaxing” effects of neuromodulators and the “volumizing” or “contouring” effects of fillers from the outset of treatment planning. This leads to a more sophisticated and artistic application of products.
Meeting Patient Expectations: The Demand for Refined Results
Today’s aesthetic patients are increasingly discerning. They seek results that are noticeable yet subtle, enhancing their natural features rather than creating an “overdone” or artificial look. They want to look refreshed and rejuvenated, not fundamentally changed. Achieving this level of refinement requires a practitioner who can artfully balance the reduction of negative lines and shadows with the restoration of youthful contours and volume – a skill best honed through a comprehensive understanding of how different injectables work together.
The ability to thoughtfully combine Botox and fillers allows practitioners to address the multifaceted nature of facial aging and achieve a truly harmonious rejuvenation. It’s about restoring balance, softening transitions, and respecting the individual’s unique anatomy and expressions.
Elevate Your Practice with Integrated Training
For medical professionals serious about excelling in aesthetic medicine and delivering the highest caliber of results, integrated botox and filler training is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. It moves beyond treating individual symptoms to addressing the face as a whole, fostering an artistic approach grounded in scientific understanding. If you are looking to elevate your skills, refine your aesthetic eye, and meet the growing demand for sophisticated, natural-looking outcomes, consider seeking comprehensive programs. Training like the Essential Injection Training at the Institute for Laser Medicine emphasizes the art and science of facial harmony through the integrated use of Botox and dermal fillers, equipping you to make a visible difference for your patients and your practice.

How to Become a Nurse Injector
You’re great at patient care. You’re just tired of the pace that leaves no room for you. If you’ve wondered whether your clinical experience could translate into a more human, creative, and flexible path, aesthetic injecting is worth a serious look. This guide shows how to become a nurse injector (step by step), grounded, practical, and aligned with the work you already do well.
ILM’s point of view is simple: mastery comes from focused, hands-on practice in boutique classroom settings, not from crowded lectures. If that resonates, read on.
What a Nurse Injector Actually Does (High-Level)
A nurse injector performs nonsurgical aesthetic treatments, most commonly neuromodulators (e.g., “Botox-type” products) and hyaluronic acid fillers, to soften lines, balance proportions, and support patient confidence. Daily work looks like:
- Consultation & assessment: medical history, facial analysis, photography, realistic goals.
- Treatment planning: product selection, dosing strategy, anatomy-first approach.
- Injection technique: safe, precise delivery using sterile technique and evidence-informed protocols.
- Aftercare & documentation: post-procedure guidance, follow-ups, and EMR notes.
The RN-to-Aesthetic Injector Pathway (Step-by-Step)
1) Verify eligibility & credentials for injectables
- Confirm eligibility: This path is for licensed medical professionals only, including nurses, nurse practitioners, physician associates, dentists, doctors, and physicians. You’ll need to provide credentials to enroll in serious training programs (including ILM).
2) Build a foundation the right way (fast, not rushed)
Aesthetic outcomes are born from anatomy + assessment + product physics. Before technique sprints, get grounded in:
- Surface and deep facial anatomy (danger zones, fat pads, retaining ligaments)
- Product science (rheology, G’/G*, crosslinking, diffusion)
- Adverse events (vascular occlusion recognition and response)
- Photography and documentation that stand up to scrutiny
Pro Tip: Choose a hands-on injectables course for nurses that bakes this into the live model work rather than splitting didactic from skill.
3) Do real injections on live models, correctly supervised
The fastest way to go from “I understand” to “I can perform” is live-model training with one-on-one mentorship in small cohorts. That’s where ILM focuses.
- You don’t need a packed auditorium; you need eyes-on guidance at the bedside.
- Technique progression typically starts with upper-face neuromodulators, then foundational filler areas (e.g., cheeks, nasolabial support) before moving into lip filler training for nurses and contour work.
- A quality course should also credit your learning. ILM’s 2-Day Botox & Filler Training includes 15.5 CNE credits.
Explore ILM’s live-model approach in the 2-Day Botox & Filler Training course.
4) Get supervised clinical exposure, shadow, then build a portfolio
- Shadow days help you see full-day clinic flow, not just isolated injections.
- Apprenticeship hours accelerate your comfort with consultation, consent, prep, injection, and follow-up.
- Build a before/after portfolio anchored in consistent lighting and angles. Include case reasoning, not just results. Hiring managers notice.
At ILM, graduates receive a complimentary shadow day at our med spa and complimentary apprenticeship hours designed to bridge training and independent practice, so you don’t “graduate” into uncertainty.
5) Keep advancing (safely)
A great injector never stops learning. After your foundation, look for:
- Advanced injectables course for nurses (perioral sculpting, chin/jawline, mid-face optimization)
- Cross-training in laser fundamentals and energy-based device safety for collaborative treatment planning
- Structured case reviews with mentors
Skills That Matter in 2025+
- Consultation finesse: Setting expectations, matching plan to anatomy and budget, and saying “not today” when appropriate.
- Anatomy-led technique: Plane selection, vectoring, aspiration strategy, and post-injection assessment.
- Safety culture: Asepsis, anaphylaxis readiness, vascular event protocols, documentation that protects you and your patients.
- Treatment planning across modalities: Knowing when neuromodulators, fillers, lasers, and skincare each play first chair.
- Photography & charting: Reproducible imaging, standardized notes, and lot tracking.
- Team medicine: Seamless coordination with medical directors, aestheticians, and front-of-house.
- Ethics & boundaries: Patient suitability, informed consent, and referral when needed.
Why Hands-On Matters (ILM’s Point of View)
You can watch 100 hours of lectures and still feel shaky with a needle in your hand. That gap closes when you inject under expert eyes, on real people, in a boutique-style classroom setting, with room to ask “Why this plane?” and “How would you pivot if…?”.
ILM’s boutique model prioritizes:
- Live-model reps that match real-world scenarios
- One-on-one mentorship for fine motor adjustments you can feel, not just hear
- Small group dynamics so your questions aren’t lost to a crowd
- Immediate feedback loops that turn technique into instinct
If you’re an overworked medical professional, you don’t need another passive seminar. You need guided practice that respects your time and accelerates confidence.
Choosing the Right Program: A Quick Evaluation Checklist
Use this to vet any botox and filler training for nurses:
People
- Instructor credentials and current clinical practice
- Student-to-instructor ratio (ask the real number)
- Direct mentorship vs. “walk-by” supervision
Curriculum
- Live-model hours (not just demos)
- Foundation + safety protocols + complication management
- Progression structure (from neuromodulators to foundational filler to lips)
Experience
- Boutique class size
- One-on-one guidance for technique correction
- Photography, charting, and case presentation practice
After the course
- Shadow opportunities
- Apprenticeship or clinic transition support
- Clear documentation for credentialing/medical director conversations
- CE/CNE credits with a reputable provider
Logistics
- Transparent model policies and product usage
- Location, schedule, and pre-course prep
Check most boxes above, and you’re on a strong RN to aesthetic injector pathway.
The ILM Advantage (Boutique Differentiators)
- Boutique classroom setting & one-on-one guidance: Small cohorts mean you’re seen. Instructors correct your hand position, angle, and depth in the moment.
- Live-model training for real-world confidence: Reps on live models, not just simulations, build decision-making you can take with you.

SkinPen™ Microneedling Training
Master Collagen Induction Therapy in a Single Day
Microneedling has quietly become one of the most requested treatments in aesthetic practices. Clients keep coming back for it because it works on the things they care about most: acne scars, rough texture, large pores, and the early signs of aging. ILM’s SkinPen™ Microneedling Training equips licensed professionals, from estheticians and cosmetologists to nurses, PAs, and physicians, with the skills to deliver this in-demand service safely and effectively. In one focused day, you’ll move from the science of collagen induction to performing a full consultation and treatment on a live model, with an experienced instructor beside you the entire time. We’ve been teaching aesthetic procedures for nearly two decades, and that experience shapes how every part of this course is run.
Get Started Today!
Class sizes limited to 6 students! To enroll or to learn more, call Admissions at 1-888-660-0082 or fill out the contact form below.
What Microneedling Actually Does to the Skin
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, works by creating thousands of tiny, controlled channels in the skin with a set of fine needles. Those channels are small enough to heal quickly but significant enough to switch on the body’s repair response. As the skin rebuilds, it lays down fresh collagen and elastin, the structural proteins that keep skin firm and smooth. Over a series of sessions, that process improves the concerns clients raise most often: acne scarring, fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and dull or patchy tone.
Part of what makes the treatment so popular is its range. It suits most skin types, asks little in the way of downtime, and pairs naturally with serums and other in-office treatments. For a provider, that adds up to a service clients return for and tell their friends about. Understanding the reasoning behind a treatment, not just how to run a device across skin, is what separates a confident provider from a careful one. This course is built around that difference.
One Focused Day, Centered on the SkinPen™
ILM trains exclusively on the SkinPen™, developed by Crown Aesthetics and the first microneedling device to earn FDA clearance. The equipment you learn on matters more than people expect. Depth control, sterile single-use cartridges, glide technique, and built-in safety features all behave differently from the inexpensive pens sold online. You’ll leave knowing the tool you’re most likely to reach for in an actual practice.
The morning grounds you in the fundamentals: skin anatomy and the wound-healing cascade, how to read a client’s skin and history, and indications and contraindications. It also covers infection control and how to set honest expectations about results and timelines. The afternoon is where it all comes together. You’ll carry out a complete treatment on a live model from start to finish. Beginning with the consultation and skin assessment, then numbing, device setup, technique across the different zones of the face, and aftercare. Your instructor watches, corrects, and answers questions as you go, so by the end of the day you’ve done the whole thing yourself rather than just watched it done.
Get Started Today!
Class sizes limited to 6 students! To enroll or to learn more, call Admissions at 1-888-660-0082 or fill out the contact form below.
What Is Included in Your Enrollment
- Hands-on training on live models for a full consultation and treatment
- A full-color workbook to keep and reference
- Certificate of completion at the conclusion of the course
- Access to our Aesthetic Apprentice Program for ongoing learning and development
- The option to participate as a model during the course and receive complimentary treatments
Who Should Enroll
Microneedling falls within the scope of a fairly wide group of licensed professionals. The course is a good fit for estheticians, cosmetologists, LPNs, RNs, BSNs, NPs, PAs, MDs, or DOs who want to add the treatment to their menu or sharpen the technique they already have. No prior microneedling experience is needed. The day is structured to take a newcomer all the way to performing a treatment, while still giving experienced providers room to refine their approach.
One thing worth checking before you sign up: the rules on who may perform microneedling, and whether medical supervision is required, vary quite a bit from state to state. We strongly recommend confirming the requirements with your state’s licensing board first. If you’re not sure, our admissions team is happy to talk it through with you.

Why Train with ILM
ILM has spent nearly twenty years teaching aesthetic procedures, and the way we run a classroom reflects what we’ve learned actually works. Cohorts are kept small on purpose, no more than six students, so your instructor can watch your technique, catch habits early, and give feedback that’s about you rather than the room.
The people teaching are practitioners first. They perform these treatments on their own clients week after week, which means the guidance you get reflects what’s happening in practice now, not what a textbook said a few years back.
And the relationship doesn’t end when you walk out with your certificate. Every graduate receives access to our Aesthetic Apprentice Program for ongoing learning and development. Curious what past students have to say? Read our testimonials.

Frequently Asked Questions About Microneedling Training
Microneedling uses a pen-style device fitted with fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. Those tiny injuries prompt the body to produce new collagen and elastin as it heals, which gradually improves texture, scarring, fine lines, and tone. The SkinPen™ is a professional, FDA-cleared device built specifically for this purpose, and it’s the system you’ll train on throughout the course.
No, the course assumes no microneedling background. The morning covers the science and safety from the ground up, and the afternoon walks you through a complete treatment step by step. However, experienced providers still get value from it. There’s plenty of opportunity to refine technique and ask case-specific questions.
Yes, you perform a full consultation and treatment on a live model, not a mannequin or a simulator. Working on real skin is what builds the judgment and confidence you need before you treat clients on your own, and it’s the heart of how ILM teaches.
You’ll train on the SkinPen™ by Crown Aesthetics, the first microneedling device to receive FDA clearance. Learning on professional-grade equipment means the technique and settings you practice carry directly into a clinical setting.
Eligibility depends on your state. Many states allow estheticians and cosmetologists to perform microneedling, sometimes with limits on needle depth, while others classify deeper treatments as medical procedures requiring a licensed medical professional. We recommend confirming the rules with your state board before enrolling, and our team can point you in the right direction.
The SkinPen microneedling course is a single, full day. Theory in the morning, then hands-on practice in the afternoon. You leave the same day with your certificate of completion and a treatment under your belt.
Graduates receive access to our Aesthetic Apprentice Program for ongoing learning and development. We stay available for guidance well after graduation day.

Laser Tattoo Removal Course
Build a High-Demand Skill in One Day
Laser tattoo removal is one of the few aesthetic services where demand consistently runs ahead of the number of trained providers. As more people look to fade or fully erase old ink, providers that can offer removal, done safely, with predictable results, hold a service that’s genuinely hard to find. ILM’s Laser Tattoo Removal Training prepares licensed and aspiring practitioners to perform the treatment in a single in-person day, backed by online coursework you complete beforehand. Nearly two decades of teaching aesthetic procedures stand behind the curriculum. Because every student practices on live models rather than simulators, you’ll walk away ready to treat clients on your own from day one.

Class sizes limited to 6 students! To enroll or to learn more, call Admissions at 1-888-660-0082 or fill out the contact form below.
How Laser Tattoo Removal Works
Tattoo ink sits in the deeper layer of the skin, where the body can’t break it down on its own. That is exactly why tattoos are permanent. Laser tattoo removal sends short, intense pulses of light into the skin that are absorbed by the ink rather than the surrounding tissue. That energy shatters the pigment into fragments small enough for the immune system to carry away gradually over the weeks following each session.
Doing this well takes far more than pressing a pedal. Different ink colors absorb different wavelengths of light, so a solid black tattoo and a multicolored one call for different approaches. Skin tone changes the equation too: settings that are perfectly safe on fair skin can cause burns or pigment shifts on deeper complexions. A trained provider knows how to read all of this. That means choosing wavelengths and energy levels, estimating how many sessions a tattoo will need, running test spots, and recognizing when not to treat at all. That judgment is the core of what this course builds.
A Hybrid Format That Respects Your Time
The course comes in two parts. When you enroll, a pre-course workbook and a set of training videos are emailed to you. You work through them on your own schedule, covering laser physics, how light interacts with skin and pigment, the Fitzpatrick scale, eye safety and protective protocols, and the basics of a thorough consultation. By the time you arrive, the theory is already behind you.
That’s what makes the single in-person day so productive. Rather than sitting through lectures, you spend the day performing tattoo removal on live models under an instructor’s direct supervision. You’ll handle the equipment, dial in settings, position protective eyewear, deliver the pulses, and walk through the full aftercare sequence on real skin, with feedback as you go. You leave having actually done the treatment, which is a very different thing from having watched a demonstration.

What Is Included in Your Enrollment
Tuition for the Laser Tattoo Removal Training is $2,000. When you enroll, here’s exactly what you receive:
- Hands-on training on live models for tattoo removal
- A full-color workbook to keep and reference
- A pre-course workbook and videos, emailed to you upon enrollment
- Certificate of completion at the conclusion of the course
- Access to our Aesthetic Apprentice Program for ongoing learning and development
- The option to participate as a model during the course and receive complimentary treatments
Who Should Enroll
The course is designed for three kinds of people: aesthetic professionals who want to add tattoo removal to their service menu, medical professionals folding laser treatments into an existing practice, and newcomers preparing to enter the laser field. No prior laser experience is required. The pre-course material brings you up to speed on the fundamentals before day one ever begins.
As with every laser service, who may legally perform tattoo removal, and under what kind of supervision, depends on your state. Be sure to check your state’s licensing and supervision requirements before enrolling. This course pairs with the 3-day Comprehensive Laser Training, which covers laser hair removal and four other modalities.

Why Train with ILM
What sets ILM apart comes down to how seriously we take the hands-on part. Class sizes stay small, eight to twelve students, because laser work is precise, and precision is hard to teach from across a crowded room. With a smaller group, your instructor can stand beside you, watch how you hold and fire the device, and correct your approach on the spot.
Those instructors are active laser practitioners, not lecturers. They treat patients regularly and bring current, real-world technique into the classroom. You’ll also train on the same professional Med Spa equipment you’ll use on the job, so there’s little gap between practice and real work.
Support continues well past graduation. Every graduate gains access to ILM’s Aesthetic Apprentice Program, our pathway for continued learning and hands-on development as your skills and the techniques evolve. You also join a network of ILM-trained practitioners and can lean on our instructors for guidance when a tricky case comes up. We’ve built nearly twenty years of relationships this way, because we’d rather see you succeed over the long haul than simply hand you a certificate and move on.

Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Tattoo Removal Training
The laser sends rapid, high-energy pulses of light into the skin. The ink absorbs that energy and breaks apart into tiny particles, which the body’s immune system then clears away over the following weeks. Because the light targets the pigment rather than the skin around it, a trained provider can fade or remove a tattoo without damaging the surrounding tissue.
No, the pre-course workbook and videos cover the fundamentals, so you arrive ready to focus on the hands-on work. Newcomers and experienced practitioners alike are welcome.
The course is both: you complete the theory online at your own pace after enrolling, then attend one full in-person day dedicated almost entirely to hands-on practice on live models. The split keeps your classroom time focused on technique instead of lecture.
Yes, you perform tattoo removal on live models under direct supervision, handling the equipment and settings yourself. Practicing on real skin is the only way to build the confidence and clinical judgment the work demands.
Who may perform laser tattoo removal varies by state, so before enrolling, confirm the requirements with your state’s regulatory board, or reach out to our admissions team, and we’ll help you sort it out.
Most tattoos need several sessions spaced a few weeks apart, and the exact number depends on the ink colors, the age and depth of the tattoo, its location, and the client’s skin. Part of what you’ll learn in this course is how to assess a tattoo and set realistic expectations with clients from the first consultation.
You leave with a certificate of completion, a full-color workbook, and access to ILM’s Aesthetic Apprentice Program. Plus ongoing access to our instructors and professional network.
