Allergan Aesthetics Expands Training with New Facilities Across the U.S.

Allergan Aesthetics Expands Access to Aesthetic Training

In an exciting development for the aesthetic community, Allergan Aesthetics, a part of AbbVie, has announced the opening of three new state-of-the-art training centers across the United States. The decision comes as part of their ongoing commitment to elevate the standards of education in aesthetics and enhance the skills of healthcare providers in this area.

Meeting the Demand

The new Allergan Medical Institute (AMI) Training Centers aim to offer high-quality, tailored training programs designed for licensed aesthetic providers. With a unique curriculum that integrates the science and art of aesthetics, the goal is to empower practitioners to achieve superior patient outcomes and foster stronger relationships with their clients.

During the announcement, Glen Curran, Senior Vice President of U.S. operations for Allergan Aesthetics, remarked, "The new AMI Training Centers are designed to help expand and elevate our existing best-in-class training programs." This initiative reflects the increasing demand for advanced education in aesthetic medicine, especially as more providers seek to enhance their consultative and clinical skills.

Innovative Curriculum

The AMI Training Centers will provide a comprehensive range of courses catering to providers at various stages of professional development. These educational offerings will help practitioners to safely and effectively facilitate excellent outcomes, thereby enhancing patient satisfaction.

Since pioneering the aesthetic field with its initial BOTOX® Cosmetic approval, Allergan Aesthetics has continuously focused on providing superior training to aesthetic practitioners. The AMI initiative stands as a testament to this commitment, promising to raise the bar in aesthetic education through innovative programs that equip participants with critical knowledge and skills.

Driving Innovation

Strategically located in key markets, the newly developed training centers will leverage the latest innovations in products, clinical education, and techniques to foster ongoing growth in the aesthetic market. Focus areas will include safe patient outcomes and helping aesthetic practices flourish by optimizing patient acquisition and satisfaction.

The engagement levels in sessions are expected to be high, as AMI faculty trainers will guide participants through hands-on curricula and provide immersive learning experiences. As Dr. Saami Khalifian, Medical Director of AMI Training Centers explained, these centers are designed to refine participants’ clinical techniques and management of potential complications, preparing them for challenges in their practice.

Commitment to Excellence

Developed in collaboration with leading healthcare professionals, the training programs will emphasize scientific knowledge and practical skills. Offerings will encompass hands-on training, interactive forums, national symposiums, live webcasts, and a robust online learning platform, AMI Online. The goal is to ensure that all attendees leave feeling empowered and inspired, equipped with the confidence to advance their aesthetics careers effectively.

As of November 2024, Allergan Aesthetics has also rolled out the AMI Business Education module on its AMI online platform, aimed at providing business operations education to practitioners free of charge.

The first of the three new centers is set to debut in Irvine, California, at Allergan Aesthetics Headquarters, with additional locations planned for Atlanta and Austin.

In summary, the launch of these new AMI Training Centers demonstrates Allergan Aesthetics' unwavering commitment to enhancing the capabilities of aesthetics providers nationwide, fostering an educated community of professionals dedicated to delivering the best possible outcomes for their patients.
