A proprietary, structured approach to aesthetic education that prioritizes understanding, anatomy, and safety — transforming how clinicians learn to practice.
The Cardona Method® is a structured curriculum framework developed by Dr. Eduardo Cardona from more than two decades of clinical practice and 22,000+ procedures. It reframes aesthetic training around the principles that produce consistently safe, natural, and durable outcomes.
A 64-hour advanced training program. Each module is designed for specific licensure levels and delivered through a blend of didactic, hands-on, and case-based learning.

The Cardona Method® is open to licensed healthcare professionals holding a valid, active license: physicians (MD, DO), dentists (DDS, DMD), physician assistants (PA), nurse practitioners (NP), nurse anesthetists (CRNA), and registered nurses (RN). Some advanced modules are limited to specific licensure levels, as noted in each module description.
Our module-based system is ideal for injectors of all levels, from novice to expert. Every student begins with the Module 1 Master Class.
The Cardona Method® totals 64 hours across seven modules, and each course day is 8 hours long. Module 1 is a one-day Master Class (8 hours), Module 2 is a two-day practical program (16 hours), and Modules 3 through 7 are one-day courses (8 hours each).
Every module builds on facial anatomy, patient assessment, treatment planning, and complication management. Practical training covers hyaluronic acid fillers, biostimulators, and botulinum toxin, including Dr. Cardona’s proprietary HYDROFIRM®, RAIL TECHNIQUE®, and Bridges & Pillars Technique®, as well as bone-based applications, non-surgical rhinoplasty, lips, and rejuvenation of the neck, décolletage, and hands.
Yes. The Module 1 Master Class is the mandatory prerequisite for every practical module. Modules build sequentially: Module 2 requires Module 1, Module 3 requires Modules 1 and 2, and Module 4 requires Modules 1, 2, and 3.
Every module is delivered by licensed clinicians personally trained by Dr. Eduardo Cardona, teaching the Cardona Method® with one consistent standard of excellence.
Class sizes are intentionally small: 6–8 students for Module 2 and 3–4 students for Modules 3 and 4, so every participant receives individualized faculty attention and real practice time.
All Cardona Method® practical training modules are conducted at Boribana Medical Training in Miami, Florida.
The complete Cardona Method® program, including all seven modules, has a total cost of $38,530. Contact our team for details.
Yes. Practical modules include live, supervised practice on models in a clinical setting, progressing from mannequin practice to supervised live treatment.
Yes. Each module has its own certificate of completion, for a total of seven certificates across the full Cardona Method®.
