Honestly, the school is not for you if…

you need a wall certificate, not a skill
you want online practice — we teach on real skin only
you want to inject without a medical license — we don't teach that
you're after the cheapest course, not the result
The student's path: from skin diagnostics to confident work

The «Cosmetologist-Therapist» method

First we teach you to read the skin, then to choose the procedure. From day one you work with real skin in a group of 4–6, following Galina's original programs. Students say they feel like dermatologists after the course.
