AIAM

What AIAM does

AIAM (American Institute of Aesthetic Medicine) is a Miami-headquartered, privately held training academy founded in 2006 that delivers hands-on and online procedural training to US and Canadian medical professionals seeking to add non-surgical aesthetic services to their practices. Its curriculum centers on three proprietary technique stacks — Absorbable PDO Threads (Polydioxanone sutures that stimulate collagen and resorb within 4-6 months), Filler Injections with blunt Microcannulas (designed to reduce bruising and intravascular risk versus sharp needles), and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (a 100% natural blood concentrate releasing growth factors for 10-12 days) — packaged individually or as a Combined Aesthetic Trainings bundle. Coursework is CME-accredited under AMA PRA Category 1, AANP, and ANCC frameworks.

The business operates a multi-format delivery model: monthly group training sessions for up to 6 participants held in 10+ major US cities, premium private in-office training for up to 3 participants (priced at a $500 surcharge for out-of-region instructor travel), self-paced online courses delivered via a partnership with PracticalCME Medical Training, and webinars. Per-seat pricing spans roughly $1,290 for introductory group sessions to $6,500 for private training with bundled CME credits and product-purchase coupons. The faculty comprises 30+ trainers, many of whom are Key Opinion Leaders and concurrent national trainers for Allergan, Galderma, and Merz, anchored by Medical Director Jason D. Bloom, MD, FACS and Head Trainer Shanna Concepcion, RN, CANS.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through professional training fees and online course sales to individual practitioners and aesthetic practice owners (medical spas, clinics, plastic surgery practices). Go-to-market is sales-led with direct website registration, supplemented by Instagram, email, conference participation, and word-of-mouth referrals. The company has no disclosed external funding, no parent organization, and operates with a small 11-50 employee headcount, indicating an organically funded, founder-led professional services business.
