Message from director's desk -

Today with advent of medical science and boom in minimally invasive procedures, a number of medical practitioners want to explore the field of cosmetology/aesthetic medicine. Though the field of aesthetic practice appears very alluring, it does require proper training and constant up gradation of knowledge and skills. The trainings offered at IIAM allows the students to gain a strong standard of knowledge and hands-on experience in order to refine their skills and comprehension on principles of evidence based aesthetic practice. The aim is to provide the patients with a safe treatment and minimizing the risks. The general practitioners wanting to add aesthetic resources to their routine practice or to diversify into this field fully, require deepening their understanding about the common dermatology diseases alongside developing practical skills in various aesthetic procedures.
