Then, making history as the "1st full term Esthetician Seat of the Board that Regulates Esthetics", she was appointed by the Governor of Virginia to serve on the board where she worked closely with staff to develop the esthetics regulations. She then went on to serve as a subject matter expert to develop licensing exams and contribute to esthetic textbooks. She strives to maintain her "Finger on the Pulse of the Esthetics Industry", works tirelessly as an advocate to elevate the industry and help aspiring estheticians build a bright and successful career! |

What are Students & Graduates saying?
I decided to attend the Institute of Advanced Medical Esthetics because the school was accredited and because of Laura Todd's impact on the esthetic community.
I wanted a career where I could be my own boss. It was at Institute of Advanced Medical Esthetics
where I truly found my passion for skin care.
I was not only taught great esthetic skills, but business skills as well. Because of what I learned in the Master Esthetician program I was able to start my own successful business. I get to help people every day with their skin issues and building their confidence. Since being out of school and speaking with other estheticians
I've come to realize just how much
more I learned than students who attended other schools.
I receive compliments all of the time "you are the best esthetician I've ever been to". I know I owe that all to Laura Todd. I am truly grateful for the education I received from Laura Todd and her entire staff.

I enrolled at the Institute of Advanced Medical Esthetics because I was intrigued by the success of estheticians in my area that had graduated from the institute.
The Institute is run by highly knowledgeable staff that are experienced in the current esthetician market.
The class schedules run on Sundays and Mondays, leaving enough time during the week for me to work my part time job. The online class schedule is flexible and provides a broad spectrum of information. The vigorous schedule makes graduation quicker than other schools. I'm finishing my basic and master esthetician classes within one year.
The live classes are fully equipped with machines and materials used in the market today.
We also receive hands on experience with equipment above the expectations of state requirements.
The school has a very involved staff that are motivated by their students success, and have even helped me with job placement in my area.

I chose to attend the Institute of Advanced Medical Esthetics because I felt that this would be the best
school in Virginia to obtain Both my Basic and Master license. The Director Laura Todd has done so much for esthetics in Virginia and continues to do so. The instructors will make sure you are well prepared for whatever esthetics career you chose to pursue after you graduate. With the smaller class sizes the instructors are able to give each student individualized attention and help them when needed. I am very pleased with my experience here and would highly suggest anyone who is looking to become an Esthetician choose the Institute of Advanced Medical Esthetics. - Devan 2015 Graduate |
My decision to become a Master Esthetician has benefited me in more ways than expected. The Institute of Advanced Medical Esthetics taught me not only how to care for skin but how to be disciplined and a professional in the skincare industry. The school and its staff prepared me for a world of medical and luxury skin care needs. The practices and procedures implemented in the schools curriculum truly gave me the skills and confidence I needed to provide excellent skin care. I am excited to be in this industry and thankful for the experiences I gained at the Institute.

I could not be happier changing careers to become a Master Esthetician. Having dual licensure not only allows me to stand out in the job market, but also gives me the qualifications and expertise to treat a wide variety of skin conditions that a Basic Esthetician cannot. Working in a dermatologist's office, I also see patients with chronic skin diseases such as rosacea, and guiding them through the process to better skin health with the doctor's cooperation has been especially rewarding. I absolutely do not believe I could have made it to where I am without my training at The Institute of Advanced Medical Esthetics. The curriculum that goes above and beyond the state minimum requirements for licensure gives me a knowledge base that puts me above my competitors, and my patients can see it. Building trust between yourself and your patients is critical to success in this industry.

Choosing The Institute of Advanced Medical Esthetics was one of the best decisions of my career. I truly
believe that I received the best education possible from an industry leader, Laura Todd. The in depth education I received has helped me realize my goals of becoming a medical esthetician working at a physician's office, helping others overcome their skin care problems. I chose The Institute because of their focus on advanced treatment modalities, especially those used in a medical setting. If you are looking for a career in the medical arena, this is the place to start! - Rebecca 2015 Graduate |
