About ISAM

This Is How Our Story Began

International School of Aesthetic Medicine

At ISAM, we believe that excellence in aesthetic medicine begins with solid, practical training guided by scientific rigor, clinical experience, and a deep understanding of human anatomy and beauty.

Founded by a team of leading professionals in the field, ISAM was created to meet the growing demand for specialized, hands-on education in aesthetic medicine.

Our mission is to train healthcare professionals to deliver safe, effective, and ethical treatments, based on international standards and the latest innovations in the industry.

We combine traditional medical knowledge with modern aesthetic techniques, offering an educational path that blends theory, practice, and continuous mentoring.

Our Mission

At ISAM, our mission is simple yet powerful: to elevate the standards of aesthetic medicine education by empowering healthcare professionals with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to transform lives.

We are committed to creating an academic environment where science meets artistry, where every injection, every treatment, and every patient interaction is backed by a foundation of evidence-based protocols and ethical practice.

Our mission goes beyond technical mastery. We aim to instill a sense of professional integrity, a dedication to patient safety, and a passion for lifelong learning. By doing so, we prepare our students not only to succeed in their careers, but also to set new benchmarks of quality in their clinics, their communities, and the wider field of aesthetic medicine.

Every course we design, every trainer we select, and every innovation we embrace is guided by this commitment: to shape responsible, competent, and visionary professionals in aesthetic medicine.

Our Approach

Our educational model at ISAM is built on three pillars: clinical expertise, practical immersion, and personalized mentorship.

We understand that true competence in aesthetic medicine comes not only from theory, but from repeated, guided, and reflective practice.

That’s why our approach prioritizes hands-on training in small groups, where each participant receives individual attention and direct feedback from experienced instructors.

This structure allows students to practice techniques on real patients, under supervision, and to develop a strong clinical eye-one that combines anatomical knowledge with aesthetic sensitivity.

Our faculty is composed of renowned professionals, each with years of experience in both teaching and real-world clinical practice.

They don’t just teach procedures, they share insights, protocols, and decision-making strategies that they use every day with their own patients.

To further enhance learning, ISAM integrates a hybrid format: live in-person modules are complemented by access to our digital learning platform, which includes on-demand video content, theoretical resources, clinical case studies, and exclusive materials.

This flexibility ensures that students can revisit and deepen their understanding at any time.

In short, our method is designed to ensure that what you learn at ISAM, you can confidently apply the very next day in your professional setting.

An International Vision

From its very foundation, ISAM was envisioned as more than just a national training center, it was designed to become a global hub for aesthetic medicine education, bringing together professionals from different cultures, countries, and clinical backgrounds.

We believe that sharing international perspectives enhances the quality of education, fosters innovation, and builds a stronger, more connected medical community. That’s why we actively develop partnerships with clinics, institutions, and universities across Europe and beyond, to offer our students access to a truly global network of knowledge, mentorship, and opportunities.

Our courses are structured to meet European Union educational standards, ensuring that the training received at ISAM is not only practical and up-to-date but also recognizable and spendable internationally. In addition to our main campuses, we are expanding our presence in key cities to make our programs accessible to a wider audience, without compromising on quality.

ISAM welcomes students from all over the world, providing multilingual support, culturally inclusive teaching methods, and flexible learning formats.

Wherever you are, and whatever your background, we are committed to helping you grow into a skilled and ethical professional in aesthetic medicine, ready to make an impact on a global scale.

Who We Train

  • Medical Doctors (general practitioners, dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and other specialties)

  • Dentists, especially those interested in perioral aesthetics and facial harmonization

  • Nurses and healthcare practitioners, where legally permitted and within the scope of national regulations

We understand that each profession brings its own perspective and clinical background, which is why our teaching model is modular, adaptive, and inclusive. Whether you’re a beginner with no prior experience or an advanced practitioner looking to refine specific techniques, ISAM offers progressive pathways that match your level and professional goals.

Before enrolling, each candidate undergoes a preliminary evaluation and orientation, ensuring they are placed in the right course based on experience and scope of practice.

This helps us maintain a high-quality learning environment where everyone progresses together, safely and effectively.
