Beyond Technique.
Viva Academy is an advanced injectable training academy on Wall Street, New York City, built for aesthetic healthcare professionals ready for the next level.
We believe great results don’t come from memorizing injection points. They come from understanding the face: its anatomy, its movement, and what each patient truly needs. Our masterclasses combine condensed advanced theory with supervised, hands-on practice on live models, in small cohorts designed for personalized attention. Every program is built around clinical decision-making, safety, and natural results, so you leave not only with new techniques, but with the judgment to apply them with confidence.
Small Cohorts
Personalized instruction and real feedback from faculty throughout the day.
Hands-On Practice
Three hours of supervised treatment on live models in every masterclass.
Clinical Thinking
We teach the why behind every decision, from assessment to treatment design.
