The National Institute of Medical Aesthetics (NIMA) is a premier medical aesthetics beauty school that offers students a comprehensive education in lasers and medical aesthetics, as part of the core curriculum. You will learn from instructors that have practiced in the medical aesthetics field and have extensive knowledge of the most important aspects of laser therapy. Our facility houses multiple lasers, on-site, and our permanent medical staff performs injections and medical services on-site. You won’t learn from guest speakers or visiting doctors, you will work one-on-one with the aestheticians and medical professionals that have developed our curriculum.

Our curriculum goes beyond what the state requires. We give our students more classroom time to learn the important details that make a difference in whether or not you give your client a phenomenal result. Our hands-on time is exactly that; hands-on. You won’t be “watching” you will be “doing” services in our beautiful 10,000 sq. ft. medical day-spa/school.

We educate our students in every important aspect of aesthetics including business skills, responsibility, professionalism, self-confidence, and salesmanship. Our number one priority is our student’s success, so career counseling and continuing education are always available. By the time you graduate from NIMA, you will have every skill you need to work in the medical aesthetics field. As a graduate of NIMA, your expertise will be in demand.
