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.

The Manhattan Class
ILM does not send a junior team to New York. The instructors who teach in Manhattan are the practitioners who teach in Skippack, active injectors who treat patients every day. They bring the full curriculum, the live models, the 6-student cap, and the Merz, Galderma, Revance, and Revanesse products you inject with.
What changes is the building. In Manhattan you train in a hotel conference room rather than in ILM’s Med Spa. The complimentary shadow day and apprenticeship hours you earn by completing both days are held at the Skippack Med Spa, about 100 miles west.
Two Days, Two Certificates
Day 1 is the Essential Injection Training, and it assumes nothing: no prior injection experience is needed. The morning covers facial anatomy, patient safety, indications and contraindications, patient assessment, and product preparation. The afternoon puts 30 units of neurotoxin and 1 syringe of filler in your hands on live models, working the glabella, forehead, crow’s feet, marionette lines, and lips.
Day 2 is the Advanced Injection Training, for injectors with the foundation Day 1 provides. You inject 50 units and 1 syringe on live models across the masseters, platysmal bands, cheeks, jawline, and chin. Each day carries 7.75 CNE credits and its own certificate of completion; the pair gives you 15.5 credits and 2 certificates.

Why New York Injectors Train With ILM
A class of 6 means the instructor watches every injection you make, and ILM has been teaching injectables that way since 2007. If you want more supervised practice afterward, you can apply to the Aesthetic Apprentice Program.
From ILM’s graduates: “I was honestly scared to step into the aesthetics industry. As a nurse for 15 years, aesthetics has a lot of competition and it can feel overwhelming and intimidating to even take that first step. But once I did, I realized that the Institute of Laser Medicine is truly something special.” And: “Michael was a great instructor. He was very knowledgeable and the class was very informative. It was a friendly learning environment for learners of all skill levels.”
ILM also brings its laser hair removal certification to New York; the Manhattan location page has the city overview. The Skippack sessions, taught inside the Med Spa itself, are on the Philadelphia page.

Frequently Asked Questions About Botox Training in New York

The complimentary shadow day and apprenticeship hours you earn by completing both days take place in Skippack, Pennsylvania, about 100 miles west. The curriculum, instructors, class size, products, and credits are the same.
Every student injects on live models both afternoons. You inject 30 units of neurotoxin and 1 syringe of dermal filler on Day 1 and 50 units and 1 syringe on Day 2, for 80 units and 2 syringes in total.
You can take the Advanced Injection Training on its own if you already have foundational training, which is what the Essential day provides. It carries 7.75 CNE credits and covers the masseters, platysmal bands, cheeks, jawline, and chin.
