Program Design

The Medical Aesthetics (LME) Program for Arizona state licensure is a 600-hour curricula of targeted material designed for the aspiring aesthetician who wishes to become licensed in the state of Arizona, and desires to work in a medical environment. This innovative coursework was thoughtfully curated in subject areas we aptly named Harmony, Reform, Balance, and Mastery. Each unit focuses on the assessment, goals, methods, materials, and procedures related to their lessons. This ensures a well-rounded understanding of each concept presented.

Upon graduation from this Arizona Board of Barbering and Cosmetology approved program, you will feel confident in the skills needed to pass state board examinations.
