The field is growing faster than the guidance around it. This is where practitioners, and the people thinking about becoming one, find out what is actually true: what the procedures do, who may lawfully perform them, and what it takes to build a practice that lasts.
ISO 9001:2015 certified. Accredited by the International Accreditation Organization and the Emirates International Accreditation Centre. Aesthetic medicine and cosmetology diplomas at Pune and Navi Mumbai are assessed independently by the Beauty & Wellness Sector Skill Council, which awards the Aesthetic Skin Technician certificate in the student's own name. What each accreditation does and does not cover
Our three most requested routes: the flagship diploma for doctors, the main diploma for beauty professionals, and the nutrition programmes.
Doctor courses↗︎For registered medical practitioners: skin, hair and the full non-surgical range, taught through supervised hands-on practice on real patients.
Beauty & wellness↗︎Machine-based skin and hair treatments for beauty professionals, with the assessment and consultation that decide which treatment a client needs.
Nutrition↗︎From the Diploma in Food, Nutrition & Dietetics to Skin & Hair Nutrition and Advanced GLP-1 Nutrition.
Aesthetic medicine in India is expanding quickly, from a small base, into a market where very little of the available information is written by anyone without something to sell. Here is what the primary sources actually say.
Worldwide in 2024, ISAPS recorded 20.5 million non-surgical procedures against 17.4 million surgical ones, out of roughly 38 million in total. Botulinum toxin alone accounted for 7.8 million.
ISAPS Global Survey 2024Total aesthetic procedures recorded worldwide rose 42.5 per cent between 2020 and 2024. The growth is concentrated in treatments that need training rather than an operating theatre.
ISAPS Global Survey 2024The Indian medical aesthetics market was valued at about $1.62 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $3.02 billion by 2030, a compound annual growth rate of 13.2 per cent.
India Brand Equity Foundation, 2025Aesthetic clinics in India grew from roughly 2,800 in 2018 to about 4,500 in 2023. Enquiries for non-surgical treatment rose 45 per cent over the same period.
India Brand Equity Foundation, citing Ken ResearchIndia is the most populous country in the world. It does not appear among the countries ISAPS lists as performing the most aesthetic procedures, where the United States records 6.1 million and Brazil 3.1 million. The gap between the demand that exists and the trained people available to meet it is the whole opportunity, and it is also the whole risk. A procedure done badly by someone who was never taught properly is the fastest way to lose a patient's trust and a practitioner's licence.
That is the reason this institute exists, and the reason this site publishes more than a course catalogue. We do not perform procedures on patients, so we have no interest in whether any individual has one. What we have an interest in is that the people who do perform them were taught properly.

Students on the aesthetic medicine and cosmetology diplomas leave with a written procedure protocol book. Not lecture notes: the steps, the settings, the contraindications and the escalation path, in a form you can put on the counter on your first day in practice.
At Pune and Navi Mumbai the diplomas carry an additional examination through the Beauty & Wellness Sector Skill Council, which publishes the occupational standards for the trade and runs the assessment independently. Students who pass hold the Aesthetic Skin Technician certificate in their own name, subject to renewal.
Re-attendance of the programme you paid for is free and does not expire. It applies to the aesthetic medicine and cosmetology diplomas. It is a teaching decision, not an offer: nobody learns an injection technique properly in one pass.
Twenty-plus sessions, five live demonstrations, faculty from India, the Philippines and Ethiopia, around fifteen exhibiting partners, every session recorded. Held in Pune in June 2026.
What none of this is: a licence. No accreditation I2CAN holds confers any right to practise, in India or abroad. What a graduate may lawfully perform is set by their own qualification and registration, not by any accreditation their training institute holds. We are also not a placement agency and we promise no placement.

It depends on the qualification you already hold, not on interest or experience. The Post Graduate Diploma in Aesthetic Medicine (PGDAM, formerly PGDCC), Aesthetic Gynaecology, Botox & Fillers and the Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Nutrition are open to registered medical practitioners only. The Advanced Diploma in Cosmetology & Trichology, Microblading & Micropigmentation and BB Glow are open to practising beauty professionals. Two nutrition programmes are open to everyone. Any procedure that breaks the skin with a needle or delivers a substance beneath it is a medical act in India, which is what sets the boundary.
I2CAN Education Pvt Ltd has four centres in India: Pune, which is the head office and has run since May 2016; Navi Mumbai, opened January 2022 and run by I2CAN; Mathura in Uttar Pradesh, a franchise centre since February 2022; and Hyderabad in Telangana, a franchise centre since May 2024. Several programmes also run online, and have done since April 2020. One phone number covers all four centres: 8484951323.
Every programme carries an I2CAN qualification, which is vocational. It is not a degree and I2CAN is not a university. For the aesthetic medicine and cosmetology diplomas taught at Pune and Navi Mumbai there is an additional examination run independently by the Beauty & Wellness Sector Skill Council; students who pass receive the Aesthetic Skin Technician certificate in their own name, subject to renewal. No certificate from any training institute extends what an individual is lawfully permitted to perform.
The two diplomas, PGDAM and ADCT, run three weeks in the classroom, or three weeks online followed by one week of hands-on training. The short certificates run one to four days: Microblading & Micropigmentation is four days, Aesthetic Gynaecology four days, Botox & Fillers two days, BB Glow one day for doctors and three for non-doctors. The nutrition programmes run from one and a half months to six months, the longest being four months of online lectures plus a two-month supervised internship.
Re-attendance of the diploma you paid for is free and does not expire, so you can sit the programme again whenever you want to. Clinical queries are answered by I2CAN faculty on WhatsApp after graduation. There are tie-ups with more than thirty clinic chains for interview introductions, and help with sourcing equipment and setting up your own practice. I2CAN is not a placement agency and does not promise or guarantee placement.
