About the program

Embark on a captivating journey akin to the mesmerizing Aurora Borealis as you delve into the world of skin care. Just like the ethereal beauty of the Aurora, skin care may seem magical, but it’s grounded in the fascinating realm of science and its profound understanding.

As a VKMD future professional, you will master the art of harnessing scientific principles to unveil the inherent radiance within each individual, revealing a captivating glow that rivals the splendor of the Northern Lights. Your expertise as an esthetician will evoke a similar sense of wonder and admiration as you skillfully blend science and artistry to create luminous, radiant skin.

Our future professionals will graduate with an adept understanding in hands-on application in various esthetic environments and treatments. Additionally, they will be groomed in client consultations, business growth, leadership, spa operations, sanitation, detailed record-keeping and of course, customer service and client nurturing. Our school endeavors to provide you with the education and knowledge you need to become a licensed esthetician in the state of Colorado.

Our 600 Hours Foundational General Esthetics course includes the prestigious NCEA-Certification credential, CPR/First Aid certification, ASCP student membership during your time at our school, and the SugarLashPro lash lift and brow lamination student kit along with their associated alumni membership perks. Students must complete these programs within the duration of the 600 hours prior to graduation, as they are a significant portion of our curriculum.

Upon completion of the 600 Hours Esthetics program at VKMD Institute of Medical Aesthetics, and once state boards have been successfully passed, our students are then eligible to receive their gift from us, which are the three microexfoliation advanced courses: Microdermabrasion, Dermaplane, and Chemical Peels. These stand-alone advanced courses are free to our post-graduate, licensed students as a gesture of gratitude for choosing to complete their 600 Hours Esthetics program at VKMD Institute of Medical Aesthetics. Therefore, these courses are not eligible for a refund should our alumni choose not to take advantage of their gift, as they are not required to do so. Students will have 12 months to take advantage of taking these 3 free courses upon graduation from our program, after which the gift will expire. Students will be disqualified for eligibility of this gift if they receive any disciplinary action during their tenure at our school.
