About Us

Aesthetic Intel is the newest cosmetic injectable training institute in aesthetics.

Aesthetic Intel is the newest cosmetic injectable training institute to enter the aesthetic industry. With state-of-the-art offices located in the DC Metropolitan area, Aesthetic Intel specializes in teaching a wide array of treatment techniques and business strategies. It started as a passion project of Waseem Garbia, PA-C, a nationally recognized advanced cosmetic injector. Aesthetic Intel incorporates Waseem’s 15 years of hands-on experience in the aesthetic industry. As the founder of Dontage Medical Aesthetics Center, he has built a robust presence on social media, works with top injectors in aesthetic medicine, and is an elite injectables trainer for world-recognized aesthetic companies like Allergan and Revance. Waseem’s experience ignited a burning desire to build his own aesthetic training company with the goal of helping educate fellow medical providers, whether they’re looking to freshen up their skills or enter into the world of aesthetics… and that is when Aesthetic Intel was born.

Aesthetic Intel was created to deliver the most current and advanced techniques in medical aesthetics to students all over the world. Whether you are freshly entering the field or looking to freshen up your injecting skills, Aesthetic Intel has a course for you. We provide students with a learning experience of real-life scenarios and patient interactions so students can easily integrate the methods learned from our courses into their own respective practices. We provide a wide array of products and models in a class setting so our students get the most out of the course. Our small class sizes and intimate group setting is what sets us apart from other training companies, covering everything you need to know in the current world of aesthetics.
The ultimate goal is for students to complete our courses feeling confident and able to create a community of forward-thinkers who never stop learning, where they can rely upon and uplift each other in what’s known to be a competitive and challenging industry.
