Medical Aesthetics Training & Spa Services for Richmond Residents
30-45 minutes west of our Coquitlam campus via Highway 1 and the Queensborough Bridge or Alex Fraser.
The Richmond aesthetics market
Richmond has a distinctively international aesthetic market, heavily influenced by demand for Asian skin care protocols, skin brightening, and specialty laser treatments. Richmond-Brighouse and Aberdeen have dense clusters of med-spas serving this market. For clients seeking broader range — particularly injectables, body contouring, or aggressive laser resurfacing — our Coquitlam campus is a common alternative. Richmond students are often drawn to our training because NACC certification is more portable across Metro Vancouver than certifications from smaller Richmond schools.
For Richmond students
Richmond students drive via Highway 99 and Highway 1 or take the Canada Line with a transfer to the Millennium Line. The commute is longer than for Burnaby or Tri-Cities students, but many Richmond-based students cite class size, instructor quality, and equipment range as the reason they choose us over local options.

For Richmond residents seeking CO2 fractional laser, Fotona 4D, or advanced body contouring, our equipment inventory is broader than most Richmond clinics. Many Steveston and Ironwood residents make the drive east for treatments they can't book locally.
