Skip to content Expanding into medical aesthetics introduces new responsibilities beyond traditional aesthetic care. Procedures involving injections, blood handling, and deeper skin penetration require precise technique, strict safety protocols, and a clear understanding of the legal scope. Each patient presents differently; skin thickness, vascular patterns, healing response, and tolerance vary, making assessment and preparation essential at every step.
The Aesthetic Medical Assistant Training Program at Auri Academy is designed for licensed estheticians ready to advance along the Aesthetic Medical Assistants Pathway. Training takes place inside a functioning med spa, where learners observe and practice within real clinical workflows. By combining didactic instruction with lab practice and live model training, the program prepares participants to support medical providers safely and effectively.
The Aesthetic Medical Assistant Training Program is a certification that includes comprehensive didactic education covering clinical fundamentals, safety standards, and legal considerations. The training is structured to provide immediate access to the didactic portion by video with a comprehensive manual to work through at the trainee’s pace. The in-person group training day covers the didactic review for mastery, lab practice, and hands-on training for practicing procedures on live models and on each other. Learning is applied within real clinical workflows. Registration is open, and the in-person training is offered quarterly.

Auri Academy delivers safety-first education inside a functioning med spa, allowing learners to train on real cases within actual clinical workflows. This environment prepares aesthetic medical assistants for the pace, standards, and responsibilities of medical aesthetics.
Training follows an assessment-first approach, emphasizing evaluation before action and adherence to protocols rather than one-size-fits-all instruction. Each skill is taught with its anatomical rationale and safety checkpoints clearly defined.
Beyond the classroom, Auri Academy supports continued growth through mentorship and industry connections. As part of the Aesthetic Medical Assistants Pathway, this program reflects the Academy’s commitment to developing capable providers and stronger practices, establishing Auri Academy as the gold standard in injector and medical aesthetics education.
Breaking into aesthetic medicine requires more than technique exposure. It requires structured education, live patient experience, mentorship, and a clear progression.
Whether you are entering the field or advancing your current skill set, Auri Academy provides a pathway built around real practice, real standards, and real growth.
Rechelle Trejo, FNP-C, is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, practicing aesthetic provider, and national trainer. As the founder of Auri Aesthetics, she has built a high-performing clinical practice centered on thoughtful assessment, evidence-based treatments, and natural outcomes.
At Auri Academy, Rechelle brings that same real-world standard into the training environment. Students learn not only injection technique, but how to assess patients, think critically, and make sound treatment decisions inside a real aesthetic practice.
Our goal is not just to teach procedures. It is to help providers develop the clinical judgment, confidence, and readiness required to succeed in aesthetic medicine.
