The American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine (AAAM) Certificate Course in Aesthetic Medicine – Level 1 is a three-day professional training programme scheduled for 2–4 October 2026 in Cairo, Egypt. The course is presented by the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine and delivered in collaboration with IBC Medical Services. It is designed for qualified medical doctors from different disciplines and specialties, including dentists, who are seeking structured education and practical training in aesthetic medicine. The programme combines theoretical instruction with live demonstrations and practical hands-on workshops. According to the official 2026 course programme, the training is conducted in a small-class format, with limited seats intended to facilitate interaction between participants and lecturers. A Level 1 Certificate in Aesthetic Medicine is awarded at the end of the course. The first day focuses on skin conditioning and chemical peeling. Participants are introduced to skin classification, indications and contraindications, side effects, treatment results, and skin-regimen planning. The chemical-peeling module covers different peeling agents and techniques, including glycolic acid, salicylic acid, TCA, modified TCA, combined peels, and Jessner peel. The day includes a multiple-choice assessment, live demonstration, and practical hands-on workshop in chemical peeling. The second day addresses the fundamentals of lasers and intense pulsed light. Topics include laser physics, types of lasers, laser safety, skin resurfacing, photo-rejuvenation, IPL, radiofrequency, infrared and ultrasound technologies, Fraxel lasers, vascular-lesion treatments, tattoo removal, and hair removal. The programme also introduces body-contouring medical devices and approaches to managing complications associated with lasers and IPL. A practical laser and IPL workshop is included in the programme. The afternoon of the second day transitions to botulinum toxin Type A and dermal fillers. Participants study classification, types, patient selection, indications, consent, facial wrinkles, and skin fillers. The programme also addresses complications and their management, providing a foundation for the practical training conducted on the final day. The third day is dedicated to hands-on training in botulinum toxin Type A and dermal fillers. The programme begins with an assessment followed by a live botulinum toxin demonstration and practical workshop. Training covers upper-face indications including the glabella, forehead, and crow's feet. The afternoon then focuses on dermal fillers, including a live demonstration and practical training involving nasolabial-fold indications. The programme concludes with feedback and distribution of Level 1 certificates. The course is positioned within the AAAM's broader aesthetic medicine education pathway. The Level 1 programme is described as the first step toward the AAAM board certification pathway, with participants able to progress to Level 2 and subsequently the Level 3 Board Examination. The Cairo programme therefore combines foundational aesthetic medicine education with supervised practical exposure. Its curriculum covers several commonly encountered aesthetic medicine modalities, including chemical peels, laser and IPL technologies, botulinum toxin Type A, and dermal fillers, while also incorporating patient considerations, contraindications, safety, and management of treatment complications. Overall, the AAAM Certificate Course in Aesthetic Medicine – Level 1 provides qualified medical professionals with a structured three-day introduction to aesthetic medicine through lectures, live demonstrations, assessments, and hands-on workshops.
