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! It is worth the money!
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. It’s a magical place where you immediately feel like you belong.
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. It almost felt too good to be true, like finding a diamond while chasing my dream.
I took my course with Heather, and she was absolutely amazing. Her calm presence in a room full of newbies was so reassuring. Unlike other trainings I’ve taken where you only get to do a “half lip” or partial treatment, ILM lets you complete a full client experience.
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.
Christine, the director, is truly one of the best people I’ve met. She is caring, supportive, and deeply passionate about helping others succeed. She believes in your potential even before you do. She offered me a shadow day, which I accepted right away because I wanted to learn everything I could. While I may have experience as a nurse, I’m new to aesthetics, and Christine made that transition feel empowering instead of intimidating.
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. Her kindness, patience, and willingness to share her expertise were incredible.
So often in life, we’re surrounded by people who give us a million reasons why we shouldn’t follow our dreams. At ILM, it’s the opposite. Their contagious support, kindness, and expertise not only inspire you to learn, they make you believe in yourself.
If you’re on the fence, take the leap. ILM isn’t just training you on aesthetics; it’s a community that helps you become the best version of yourself, both personally and professionally. ✨
Additional Testimonials
“I absolutely love ILM! It’s so much more than a wellness and aesthetics educational program. ILM TRULY SETS THE BAR for education and empowerment, and Christine knocks the customer service and helping you get appropriate training out of the park.”

“I took the comprehensive laser course with Michelle and couldn’t be happier! I have learned so much more than what I did in my esthetics schooling. She really covers a wide variety of lasers and leaves room for questions and concerns. This industry is close to my heart and Michelle is now too. This class is worth it!!”
Brittney
I recently completed the 4 day Comprehensive Laser course at ILM and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience! My instructor, Janine, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about laser technology, ensuring that every student fully understands the material. She was able to speak to by the book methodology as well as real life experience in the field. The hands-on training sessions were invaluable, giving me the confidence and skills needed to excel in my field. I also appreciated the small class sizes, which allowed for personalized attention and a more interactive learning environment. Overall ILM exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this institute to anyone looking to advance their career in laser technology and would take another course there in the future! Thank you for an amazing learning experience!”

“I was referred to the Institute of Laser Medicine by a colleague to take an injections class and my experience was 5 stars. 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. I returned the following week to take the advanced injections class and now I feel confident in my injecting skills and would recommend the Institute of Laser Medicine to all of my friends and colleagues. The office is also very clean and modern looking and very inviting. Sadie, Christine, and Brittany were all helpful in making my experience the best!”
Matthew
“As a nurse in my first year of practice it has been really important to me that I invest well in my education and I was THOROUGHLY impressed with the essential injector course for neurotoxins and dermal fillers that ILM provides. Tricia was an amazing educator and instructor. You could feel her passion for aesthetics radiate through the energy she provided us during class, and she was a wealth of knowledge for the students. I felt like I got my money’s worth out of this course and had heard from several nurses, NPs and PAs that most certification courses are scams to mostly push products, but ILM felt truly informative with their approach. Tricia and Sadie were well prepared, easy to get along with, warm, and funny. They welcomed and encouraged questions and always made sure we were confidently practicing on our models. We spent the better part of the day doing hands on and observation and we all learned from each student because of Tricia’s tricks and tips she’s learned over her 10 years of injection experience. I can’t say enough about how impressed I was with this course and I will definitely be doing more through ILM… especially with Tricia and Sadie!”

“Both the laser tattoo removal and the comprehensive laser instructors deserve a 5. I loved that I was able to see everything. The actual machine and the videos were great. I learned so much in the courses I took! I am a recent graduate from esthetics school and this class actually helped me grasp things more than school did. I recommended it to my friends from school. Print out the workbook! It’s so worth it. I was able to keep up the whole time. I was able to answer questions and participate and it’s great to have after as well. ”

“LOOK NO FURTHER! I completed the comprehensive laser and tattoo removal training courses at ILM. This was one of the greatest decisions of my life y’all! Their staff/ instructors are absolutely amazing and have tons of experience! Utilizing the BEST machines in the market (Candela) had to be one of my favorite parts of training. I refuse to use any other brand. Working as a laser tech for a year now, this training has taught me everything and more to give my career the extra spice it needed( : I could really go on and on….so just do yourself a favor. and go. take. their. courses!”

“I took the Essential Injections Training in Botox and Fillers with Mike Murray and it was amazing!!! 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. It was an excellent experience and I would recommend the class to everyone interested in cosmetic injections.”

“I had Jodi for an instructor and I couldn’t have gotten luckier. As a new registered nurse trying to break into the field of medical aesthetics, Jodi was very patient, caring, and comforting to everyone in her presence. For the platelet-rich plasma portion of the class I had to do my first blood draw, and I was very nervous!!! (especially on my mom who won’t hold back) Jodi was by my side, step by step, and I give her all the credit for me getting it first try😌 Overall if you learn best surrounded by good people who love what they do (and are GREAT at it too) I suggest any classes at ILM. 2 more classes to go!”

“I obtained my certificate on Friday and I can say that this school is the best decision I have ever made! Not only is everyone fun, motivating and helpful, they also make the educating process easy for everyone to learn! The best part is hands on which is the fun part! You’ll get to receive and give treatments to your classmates and make the most out of the experience. I am a recent Esthetician graduate and with my certification that I just obtained, I can work in a medical setting which was always my goal! I plan on taking more courses very soon. You will not regret the decision on taking a course at this institute!”
