Why Choose MedSpa Institute of America?

An esthetics license and an advanced esthetics license differ mainly in the level of training and types of services a professional may be prepared to provide. Esthetics typically focuses on foundational skincare services such as facials, waxing, makeup, lashes, brows, and product knowledge, while advanced esthetics may introduce more specialized treatments such as microneedling, dermaplaning, chemical peels, LED light therapy, and other advanced skincare modalities.

Both paths can help students build skincare knowledge, client care skills, sanitation practices, and hands-on experience. The right option can depend on your interests, state requirements, scope of practice, and long-term goals in the beauty or medical aesthetics industry.

At MedSpa Institute of America, students can explore esthetics and advanced practice esthetics training designed to support different career goals. This guide explains the main differences between an esthetics license and an advanced esthetics license, how the programs compare, and what students may want to consider when choosing a path.

Esthetics vs. Advanced Esthetics at a Glance

Learn From Experienced Instructors

The instructors at MedSpa Institute of America are experienced professionals who have been in the beauty industry and know what they’re talking about. Most of our instructors have or still own a salon, so they have real knowledge on the expectations of the esthetics world. You’ll get an insider’s perspective on what it takes to be successful!

Our instructors are passionate about teaching the next generation of beauty professionals. With their knowledge and expertise, they’ll be able to provide support and guidance as you navigate your way through the esthetics industry.

We’re An Esthetics Only School

100% of our attention is given to the esthetics industry. Our programs aren’t competing with each other and this ensures that we can give our students a high-quality education. This means that our school is 100% focused on our students and making sure they have the tools they need to succeed.

Pick Your Own Schedule

We offer both part time and full time schedules! We know that our students have a life outside of school, which is why we give them the option! And if you’re going into pre-clinical, half of your education is at home online and the other half is in school.

Smaller Class Size

When it comes to beauty school, class size matters. Smaller class sizes can make a significant difference in a student’s experience and education. With a smaller class size, our students can be given:

• More one-on-one time: with a smaller class size, our instructors can provide more one-on-one attention. They can take the time to answer questions and give feedback.
• More access to tools and equipment: In smaller classrooms, more resources are available to each student. In large classrooms, students typically have to share and wait for tools and equipment to be available.
• More personalized education: With 12 students in our classroom, our instructors can give our students a more personalized approach to learning. The techniques our students are learning can be complex and require a lot of time to perfect. With a more personalized education, our students can find success in the classroom.

The most people we would ever have in our school is 40. This gives our instructors the opportunity to really get to know our students and build a relationship with them.

With students, instructors, and staff in your corner, you can push yourself and exceed your own limitations of what you’re capable of.
