Where precision
meets artistry.

An intimate, hands-on training in Botox, lip filler, and the complete medical aesthetic practice — for licensed professionals ready to refine their craft.

Licensed Instructors · Product Included · Certification Provided
An Introduction

Aesthetic medicine is a discipline — measured in study, refined in practice, mastered over years.

Nova Academy is the training program of Nova Med Spa — Long Island's top-reviewed luxury aesthetics practice. We teach the way we work: with restraint, precision, and a deep respect for the human face. Small cohorts. Live demonstration. Hands-on injecting from the first day.

The Approach

Four principles that define our training.

I — DEMONSTRATION

Live, in real time.

Watch our practicing injectors perform treatments while breaking down technique, anatomy, and placement in real time. No simulations. Real treatments, narrated.

II — PRACTICE

Hands on the syringe.

Three and a half hours of supervised injecting per day. Real product. Real patients. Real feedback. The confidence you'll carry into your own practice begins here.

III — INTIMACY

Small by design.

We limit cohort size deliberately. Every student receives direct attention, personalized correction, and a relationship with the instructor that extends well beyond the training day.

IV — CERTIFICATION

Recognized completion.

Each course concludes with formal certification covering technique, anatomy, safety protocols, and complications management — credentials you can present to employers and insurers.

3:30 – 4:00

Review & Certification

Final review of technique, individual feedback, and the formal certification of your training.

A Note on Models

We encourage every student to bring their own models. Students may inject one another, but additional models — friends, family, willing patients — allow the deepest hands-on experience.

All product is provided by Nova Academy.

Not consultants. Not retired physicians. Working injectors performing hundreds of treatments monthly at Nova Med Spa.
