“Stefanie Gatica assisted with my BOTOX training; she and her staff are excellent. They provide high-quality, personalized treatments and are very knowledgeable in the world of aesthetics. Her experience and passion are priceless.”
Training aesthetic providers nationwide in advanced, safe, and reproducible injection techniques. Advanced training through the Botox Cosmetic® Master Injector Program.
Revive Aesthetics Academy was created to provide a more structured and clinically driven approach to aesthetic training.
Led by Stefanie Gatica, DNP, the academy focuses on developing providers who understand not only how to inject, but how to assess, plan, and treat with intention.
Training is centered on anatomy, safety, and reproducible techniques that support consistent, high-quality outcomes.
Our goal is to elevate the standard of aesthetic medicine through thoughtful education and real-world clinical experience.
This is not trend-based training. This is clinical education.
