Medical Curriculum Oversight

Professional Education Supported by Medical Leadership

Dr. Leo Capobianco, M.D., FAAEM serves as AML Laser Academy’s Medical Director and supports the academy’s focus on laser science, professional safety, client assessment, contraindications, treatment planning, and responsible aesthetic practice.

AML’s educational approach is designed to help students understand more than a sequence of treatment steps. Students build a broader foundation in the science behind cosmetic laser procedures, the variables that influence tissue response, the importance of client selection, and the safety considerations that protect both practitioners and clients.

This medically informed approach helps learners prepare for employer training, device-manufacturer education, supervised hands-on training, and practical experience in real aesthetic settings.
