About the Master Esthetics Program

Already a licensed esthetician? This program is built for you. Master Esthetics picks up where your license left off, adding advanced treatments, clinical skills, and the credentials that set you apart in today's market.

For licensed estheticians ready to go further, OMNA's Master Esthetics Program is the next step. Whether you're looking to work in a med spa, expand your own business, or command higher service rates, this program adds the advanced treatments, clinical skills, and credentials that make the difference.

Many students return for Master Esthetics immediately after completing their basic license. There's no required waiting period, just an active Virginia Esthetics License and the drive to go further.

Master estheticians don't just perform treatments. They understand the science behind results.

Students build advanced expertise in chemical peels, microneedling, lash and brow services, and light-based technologies: the in-demand services that command higher rates and unlock med spa and clinical opportunities.

Graduates leave with advanced credentials that set them apart, ready for medical spas, dermatology offices, and clinical practices, or to expand their own business with higher-value services.

Training at OMNA builds on your existing license with advanced treatment planning, ingredient chemistry, and clinical protocols: the foundation you need to work confidently in medical spa settings.

Med spa employers look for estheticians who understand clinical protocols, can work alongside medical staff, and bring advanced technical skills to every treatment. This program is built around exactly that.

Hands-on practice with advanced devices (chemical peels, microneedling, dermaplaning, and light-based technologies) gives students confidence with the tools used in today's med spas and clinics.

Lash and brow services are high-demand, high-retention specialties. Clients book them consistently, and adding them to your menu expands what you can offer in any setting.
