Post Completion

You are free to ask questions and have support for 1 month following the course. After that month, we suggest signing up for one of our other course or mentorship offerings:

  • Advanced Injector 6-Month Clinical Mentorship Program: The Advanced Injector Mentorship is designed for experienced aesthetic providers seeking a higher level of clinical mentorship focused on treatment planning, injectable strategy, and patient consultation. This program emphasizes refinement of clinical thinking to support consistent, high-quality aesthetic outcomes.
  • 1:1 Advanced Shadow Day with Stefanie Gatica, DNP: This is a private, one-on-one clinical immersion designed for injectors who want direct access to how a high-level aesthetic practice operates in real time.

    This experience offers an inside look at a full day inside a luxury medical aesthetics clinic, where every decision, interaction, and treatment is executed with intention, precision, and clinical expertise.

Depending on what courses you have taken already we would recommend courses in other categories, or exploring the Mentorship opportunities available to continue your education:

  • Clinical Foundations: Designed for providers beginning their journey in aesthetic medicine and those seeking a more structured approach to patient assessment, consultation, and injectable technique.
  • Structural Aesthetic Injections Series: A progressive series focused on facial assessment, structural treatment planning, advanced injectable strategy, and live clinical observation.
  • Clinical Safety & Complications: Develop the knowledge and clinical judgment required to recognize, prevent, and manage complications in aesthetic practice.
  • Practice Systems & Leadership: Clinical Systems, Workflows, and Operational Structure; resources designed to support consistency, efficiency, and high-level patient care within aesthetic practices.
  • Clinical Immersion & Mentorship: At a certain stage, growth in aesthetics no longer comes from additional courses alone. It comes from seeing how treatments are performed in real time, understanding how decisions are made, and refining your approach through experience. This level of training is designed to provide that access.
  • Beginner Injector Shadow Day with Lauren King, BSN:  This private, one-on-one shadowing experience is designed for new injectors who want real-world exposure to aesthetic practice in a structured, supportive clinical environment.
  • 6 Month Beginner Injector Mentorship with Lauren King, BSN: This private, one-on-one shadowing experience is designed for new injectors who want real-world exposure to aesthetic practice in a structured, supportive clinical environment.
