Denise Merdich’s PDO threads class is a wonderful educational experience. The facilities are first class and class size is kept small so that everyone has the opportunity to place at least a dozen threads, a tremendous confidence builder! Denise is an excellent instructor and I recommend her courses to anyone interested in adding a new aesthetic service to their facility with a great ROI.

Denise’s injection techniques are among the best that I have seen. She has an excellent knowledge of all the injectable products as well as various injection techniques. Aside from her aesthetic skill she is extremely pleasant and professional. I cannot think of anyone more proficient in aesthetic injectable training techniques than her. Her techniques have brought my injectable practice to a new level!
