I went here for the laser hair removal program. it was a couple of months. Ms. K was my teacher. i honestly don’t understand any negative review because this school is exactly what you need if you want to become a laser technician . if you want to learn you will learn. i didnt pass the state exam right away but that was a mistake i made due to the lack of studying but once you complete and really study the board practice exams you will pass the state board exam no problem. they give you everything you need to know. it takes a lot of effort but this school gave me every single tool i needed to succeed. although it was a little bit far from home i am genuinely grateful that i was able to find this school. i 100% recommend. if you find this hard its because you are not willing to sit down and learn thank you for everything i truly mean it

I have been a licensed Esthetician & Electrologist since 2012 and after a few years out of the industry have decided to come back. Started the Medical Aesthetic course at FAMA and so far I have been extremely impressed with how they have designed the curriculum and how thorough they have been to make sure you are equipped with everything you need to grasp each concept. Highly recommend. Especially for anyone interested in furthering their knowledge into the medical aesthetic industry.
