Certificate in Aesthetic Medicine
November 10, 2025 2025-11-12 12:36Certificate in Aesthetic Medicine
The Certificate in Aesthetic Medicine is a rigorously structured, clinically focused training designed for licensed medical professionals aiming to build, refine or solidify their competence in the field of aesthetic medicine.
This program is particularly suited to novice doctors, as well as those who, despite previous certifications, lack the clinical confidence or real-world exposure to begin independent practice.
Unlike typical short-format workshops, this course is anchored within a high patient volume, fully functional aesthetic clinic. Delegates engage with real patients under close faculty mentorship, ensuring a practical, protocol-driven learning experience.
Training is delivered in small groups (2–3 doctors per patient), allowing for concentrated, step-by-step guidance through each stage of treatment.
Each delegate manages multiple patients per indication, ensuring procedural continuity from consultation and planning to treatment execution. Core modules include neuromodulators, dermal fillers, energy-based devices, lasers, regenerative treatments, and recent advances.

What Our Participants Say
" I have joined this course to upskill my dermatology practice in the field of aesthetic. I'm really glad and totally satisfied the way they have taught me. I'm really thankful to Dr. Pragati for this opportunity and she's given individual attention to me and helped to cater my needs according to my weaknesses and she also identified my strength, so I'm really happy. I definitely recommend this course for everybody who wants to join the field of aesthetic medicine."
" This program was a total game changer for me. Despite completing multiple courses before, I never had the confidence to actually inject. But here, I treated real patients under expert guidance from consultation to execution. That hands-on experience gave me the clarity and courage I was missing all along. I now feel truly ready to practice independently. Highly recommend this to every doctor who’s still hesitant to take that first real step."
" At RIAMS, I did a lot of things. I got the training from the experienced hand. I learned about injectables like Botox, fillers in details. I also learned intensively about the lasers and also the Mesotherapy. Pragati ma'am, she's lovely, she's very nice and her knowledge is extensive. I like her teaching style. It's not a one way, it's a two way. You are talking with the patients, doing treatments and you are having the like a real clinic scenario. "
" I am very much impressed with this course. We did lots and lots of hands-on, which is very rare in any other institute. I am really thankful to Dr. Pragati. She is a really great mentor. She just won't teach us about the procedures only, but also hone our own skills in every possible aspect. And that gave me so much confidence. I would like to recommend this course to everyone because this is the best place where you can get lots of hands-on and and practical knowledge. "
