For estheticians, spa staff and others with an existing schedule who want to study body contouring at their own pace rather than on fixed class dates. Taught from founder Isabel Mendez's actively booked Redondo Beach studio.
There are no live classes or set times. Each written module ends with a knowledge check, so you can study one module at a time between appointments.
Your six months of access start at your first eligible sign-in after actual release, so choose a start point when your schedule allows steady study.
Before you submit, plan your demonstration video: a suitable space, a volunteer model, and a clear recording. A video is reviewed by an instructor — it is not automatic approval.
The academy does not interpret New York law or decide who may practice. One official place to begin is the New York Department of State, Division of Licensing Services; it may not cover every service or device, so also confirm with your city or county before offering services.
Educational training, not medical advice. The academy certificate is not a government license, and no income or business results are promised.
Planned course at release
Training videos are not promised at launch; written lessons are the primary experience.
