ARI COURSE INFORMATION
Entering the field of aesthetic medicine starts with training and researching your state laws and regulations. First, you’ll want to take our Intro to Neurotoxin course as it is a prerequisite for all our other courses. Next, take the Intro to Dermal filler course and then finally the Lip Augmentation course. After those three courses, we suggest practicing the basics for 6 months to a year and then consider taking more advanced training to further your skills.

If you have a medical director, you must contact them first in case of an adverse event. If you would like more support, you may also contact our Aesthetic Code Team. The Aesthetic Code Team or ACT is exclusive to our network members, and it is a team of trusted and experienced injectors within our network who have volunteered to provide advice to injectors experiencing an adverse event.
Our Fellowship Program was tailored for injectors within our Network who are interested in the highest level of training that ARI has to offer. The Fellowship is 6 months long and our fellows are expected to come to the office at least once a week for an 8-hour shadow day. After the first 3 months, the fellow will participate in their first personal hands-on clinic and another one at the 6-month mark. ARI Fellows will have the opportunity to shadow advanced injectors like Audrey Rose or another Age-less Weigh-less injector.
Our On-Demand webinars are a great opportunity for those who are tight on time and may not have time to join us in the office for two in-person trainings. Our On-Demand webinars allow students to take the didactic portion of the course at home and on their own time. Once the didactic portion has been completed, we will schedule an in-person hands-on clinic, where the student will join us in office to practice injecting 4-6 models. We offer an On-demand webinar option for Intro to Neurotoxin and Intro to Dermal Fillers.
We recommend that all beginner injectors start with our Intro to Neurotoxin Course. Intro to Neurotoxin will give beginner injectors a solid foundation of injection and aesthetic knowledge. Intro to Neurotoxin is also a prerequisite to all other courses offered at ARI.
