Institute of Medical Aesthetics
Elevate Your Future
Our Mission
VKMD Institute of Medical Aesthetics is owned and operated by a dynamic duo who have built a successful medical spa in Colorado Springs. Our reputation for quality, integrity, and customer satisfaction is well-known in our industry. We have employed many estheticians over the years and have witnessed the deficiencies that exist in typical esthetics education. Most esthetics schools provide only enough instruction to get students to pass their boards. We opened VKMD Institute of Medical Aesthetics (VIMA) to create a higher standard in esthetician education. At VIMA, passing your boards is just the start. Our curriculum has been purposefully designed to provide students with real world experience through internships at our busy med spa (springsbodysculpting.com), resume building, business, and personal development. These skills are critical to your success after graduation, which is where most esthetics schools fall short. We highly encourage our graduates to never stop learning. After graduation, expand your abilities (and your bottom line) by signing up for one of our advanced esthetics courses. Planned course offerings include microdermabrasion, acne solutions, chemical peels, dermaplaning, laser, and device specific training. Our commitment to your success does not stop at graduation! Join our robust alumni support system which will provide a forum for sharing knowledge, networking, and personal support as you navigate your way into a successful career. VKMD Institute of Medical Aesthetics is paving the way for a new generation of highly qualified estheticians. We are excited about the future of esthetics and hope you can join us on this life changing journey.
