New Delhi [India], January 16: As aesthetic and anti-aging medicine continues to grow rapidly across India, the need for structured, ethical, and clinically sound education has become more critical than ever. Addressing this demand, the Institute of Facial Aesthetic Medicine (IFAM) India has emerged as a leading medical education institution dedicated to advancing standards in facial aesthetics, clinical cosmetology, and aesthetic medicine.
Founded under the leadership of Dr. Sumit Choudhary, a facial aesthetic consultant and medical trainer with over 15 years of experience, IFAM was established with the vision of bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world clinical practice. Dr. Choudhary has worked with leading healthcare institutions including Max Healthcare, Sahara Hospital, ILAMED, and Lumenis, bringing extensive expertise in lasers, injectables, and evidence-based aesthetic medicine to IFAM's academic framework.
IFAM India has been named among the Top 3 Facial Aesthetic and Cosmetology Institutes in India by Silicone Magazine. This recognition reflects the institute's commitment to academic excellence, hands-on clinical training, and ethical practice in medical aesthetics education.
A key differentiator for IFAM India is its academic collaboration with Nirwan University, Jaipur. Through this partnership, IFAM offers UGC-recognized University programs, including the M.Sc. in Facial Aesthetics and Cosmetology. This integrated model provides students with formal university-level education alongside intensive clinical exposure--an approach that remains relatively uncommon in India's aesthetics education landscape.
IFAM offers a comprehensive range of fellowship, diploma, and certification programs in facial aesthetics, clinical cosmetology, anti-aging medicine, cosmetic gynecology, laser and energy-based therapies, and advanced aesthetic procedures such as dimple creation. These programs are designed specifically for licensed medical professionals, including MBBS doctors, dentists, gynecologists, and allied healthcare practitioners seeking to expand their clinical expertise.
The institute places strong emphasis on hands-on, patient-centric training. Learning modules combine theoretical instruction with live patient demonstrations, supervised practical sessions, and case-based discussions. Small batch sizes ensure personalized mentorship while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety and ethical care.
