India’s booming aesthetic and anti-ageing medicine sector drives an urgent need for structured, clinically rigorous, and ethically focused education. The Institute of Facial Aesthetic Medicine (IFAM) India fills this gap in the market. It has become a premier institution, setting new benchmarks in facial aesthetics, clinical cosmetology, and aesthetic medicine education.
Visionary leadership bridges theory and practice
Dr Sumit Choudhary, a facial aesthetic consultant and medical trainer with over 15 years of experience, founded IFAM. He created the institute to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical clinical expertise.
Dr Sumit has worked at leading institutions, including Max Healthcare, Sahara Hospital, ILAMED, and Lumenis, specialising in lasers, injectables, and aesthetic medicine. Under Dr Sumit’s leadership, IFAM earned recognition as one of India’s Top 3 Facial Aesthetic and Cosmetology Institutes by Silicone Magazine. This accolade highlights the institute’s commitment to educational excellence and ethical practice.
Academic partnerships deliver university-recognised programmes.
A significant differentiator for IFAM India is its academic partnership with Nirwan University, Jaipur. This collaboration allows IFAM to offer UGC-recognised university programmes, including the M.Sc. in Facial Aesthetics and Cosmetology. IFAM combines formal academic credentials with hands-on clinical training, equipping medical professionals with theoretical knowledge and practical skills, a rare model in India.
Comprehensive programmes for medical professionals
IFAM offers a diverse portfolio of fellowship, diploma, and certification programmes in facial aesthetics, clinical cosmetology, and anti-ageing medicine. It also provides training in cosmetic gynaecology, laser and energy-based therapies, and advanced procedures such as dimple creation. These programmes serve licensed medical professionals—MBBS doctors, dentists, gynaecologists, and allied practitioners—seeking to expand their clinical skills and expertise.
The institute emphasises patient-centric, practical training. Each programme combines live demonstrations, supervised clinical sessions, and case discussions, using small batches to provide personalised mentorship.
Expert guidance
IFAM’s faculty consists of internationally trained, multidisciplinary experts. The team includes Dr Vivek Gupta, Dr Baljeet Kaur, and Dr Houssam Mazraani. It also features Dr Pragya Gupta, Dr Sandeep Kaur, Dr Ritika Dhingra , and Dr Sonika Choudhary. Krishna Yadav heads administration and training, ensuring streamlined operations and high-quality learning outcomes.
IFAM stays current with technology by training medical professionals on advanced lasers, radiofrequency devices, PRP therapies, injectables, and modern anti-ageing protocols. Its curriculum is regularly updated to reflect global innovations and emerging trends in aesthetic medicine.
Industry recognition and future expansion
Beyond training, IFAM supports its alumni with clinic setup guidance, branding, patient management, and regulatory compliance. Many graduates have successfully launched independent aesthetic clinics or expanded services within existing medical practices across India.
IFAM earned a nomination for the India 5000 Best MSME Awards 2024, highlighting its role in elevating medical aesthetics education standards. IFAM India plans to expand programmes, strengthen clinical infrastructure, and develop global collaborations, positioning itself as a future-ready institute.
