What Makes Our Program Unique?
Two Certifications, Two Careers in One: Complete all required hours and assessments in Tier One (Skin Care). Upon graduation, you become eligible to apply for a Florida Facial Specialist License. Then advance to Tier Two, our Master Aesthetician course. Certifications are awarded at the end of the program: once you finish every module and pass your final written and practical assessments, you earn the FAMA Master Aesthetician Certification. If you complete the program in person, you may also be eligible to apply for Certified Phlebotomist through the National Healthcareer Association (NHA).
State-Approved Curriculum: Every module aligns with Florida DBPR and Department of Health regulations, ensuring full compliance and easy licensure processing.
Real-Patient Experience: Train on live models inside FAMA’s medical clinic, performing nano-needling, advanced peels, laser protocols, and post-operative skincare under direct physician and nurse supervision. Clinical hours are logged and count toward your completion requirements.
Top-Tier Faculty & Technology: Learn from board-certified physicians, nurse practitioners, and seasoned aesthetic educators while operating the latest fractional lasers, nano-pens, and diagnostic imaging devices.
All Materials Included: Tuition covers professional kits, medical-grade products, laser disposables, study manuals, exam fees, and digital resources — no hidden costs.
Flexible Financing: Choose Klarna, Affirm, or FAMA’s interest-free FlexPay plan. No credit checks, and payments are scheduled to match your course timeline.
Most schools separate licensure and advanced aesthetic coursework, forcing students to enroll twice. FAMA joins both stages into one path. From basic facial protocols to medical-grade treatments, you have one enrollment, one tuition plan, and one mentoring team. You learn in our fully equipped medical clinic, practicing on real patients with guidance from board-certified physicians and nurse practitioners. Small cohorts, in-depth regulatory training, and business modules help you graduate with technical mastery. You also gain the confidence to thrive in a clinical setting.
Will I Get Certified in Medical Aesthetics?
Yes. Upon successfully completing the entire Medical Aesthetician program and graduating, you will receive your FAMA Medical Aesthetician Certification. As part of the program, you will also complete the requirements needed to become eligible to apply for a Florida Facial Specialist License. FAMA will guide you through the licensing process and ensure the required documentation is completed and submitted to the Florida Board of Cosmetology.

Enroll and Begin Skincare Training

You move directly into four weeks of on-campus clinical training, without reapplying or paying new admission fees. The training covers advanced aesthetic treatments, phlebotomy, OSHA/HIPAA compliance, and advanced consultations. Live patient practice is supervised by physicians and nurse practitioners. Every required module must be completed before moving to the final stage.

You train in advanced treatments, clinical documentation, OSHA/HIPAA compliance, and phlebotomy. FAMA guides every step, ensuring all state and national documentation is complete before you sit for final certification assessments.
We’ll guide you every step of the way from registration,
exam prep, to certification.
