Aesthetic ultrasound training and customized physician-led education, in Cooper City, Florida.
At Ivy Ultrasound Academy, we help licensed medical professionals develop the knowledge, technical skills, and clinical confidence needed to integrate ultrasound into aesthetic practice.
Training is led by Dr. Ivy Lawson, a board-certified Vascular & Interventional Radiologist with extensive experience in ultrasound imaging, vascular anatomy, image-guided procedures, and physician-performed aesthetic treatments.
Our curriculum is built around a progressive three-level ultrasound pathway. Courses may be completed separately or combined into a customized half-day or full-day training experience.
Each level states who it is for and exactly what it covers, so the progression is clear before you inquire.
Designed for providers who are new to ultrasound or want a stronger technical foundation.
Designed for injectors who want to apply ultrasound to facial assessment and treatment planning.
Designed for experienced providers managing complex or post-treatment concerns.
Courses may be taken separately or combined into a customized half-day or full-day program.
Each ultrasound level may be completed as a stand-alone course or combined with another level. The final format depends on the participant's experience, objectives, and available training time.
Examples include Level 1 as a focused introductory session, Levels 1 and 2 combined in a full-day workshop, or an advanced Level 3 program for providers who already use ultrasound.
Beyond the three-level pathway, training can be delivered as a masterclass on a single topic or as private mentorship built around one provider's caseload. Both are arranged individually — tell us what you are trying to solve and the format follows from that.
Ultrasound is the primary focus of the academy. Customized training may also include one or more of the following topics:
Programs are intended for appropriately licensed healthcare professionals, subject to state law, scope-of-practice requirements, model availability, and instructor approval.
Dr. Lawson's background combines vascular anatomy, diagnostic imaging, image-guided procedures, and aesthetic medicine. Her teaching approach emphasizes more than recognizing structures on a screen. Participants learn how to interpret what they see, apply it to treatment planning, understand limitations, and make thoughtful clinical decisions.
She uses this every week in her own practice. If you want to see how the imaging is used clinically before you inquire, the Ivy Ultrasound Center sets out the patient-facing side — facial ultrasound, vein ultrasound and the reasoning behind it.
No. Level 1 is designed for beginners. Levels 2 and 3 are intended for providers with increasing experience and more advanced learning goals.
