DOCTOR REVIEWS & ALUMNI TESTIMONIALS

Frequently Asked Questions
Eligibility & Prerequisites
1) I am a General Physician (MBBS) Am I eligible for the full Fellowship?

No. The curriculum is comprehensive, starting from foundational principles. We move from theory to simulators/models, and finally to intensive, supervised live patient practice. You will be taught everything from zero.

The 5 Months Online phase involves live, interactive lectures (recorded for flexibility) and weekly assignments, allowing you to study while continuing your practice.

In case student has opted for the In your city session then the venue , date and duration will be informed one month prior to the hands on session.
What is the patient-to-doctor ratio during the hands-on phase?
We strictly maintain a low hands-on ratio (typically 3:1 to 4:1) to ensure every trainee receives sufficient one-on-one mentorship and performs a high volume of procedures across all modules (Botox, Fillers, Threads, Lasers, Minor Surgeries).
