IRVINE, Calif., April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) company, today announced the opening of the new AMI Austin in Texas. This location marks the third U.S. AMI Training Center opened in the past year and reflects continued investment in aesthetics education.
Designed as a state-of-the-art, interactive learning environment, AMI Austin provides an immersive experience that inspires and engages healthcare professionals, advances clinical proficiency for all levels of providers, and creates a welcoming environment for professionals to learn from each other.
AMI Austin brings the same high-impact educational model synonymous with AMI Training Centers, blending scientific rigor with practical application. Through a comprehensive curriculum and hands-on instruction, the center equips providers with clinical, consultative, and business skills needed to deliver safe, effective, and patient-centered outcomes.
"The opening of AMI Austin represents another important milestone in our commitment to elevating aesthetics education standards," said Glen Curran, Senior Vice President, U.S., Allergan Aesthetics. "By expanding into Austin, we're increasing access to robust training that supports excellence in patient care while delivering the education customers need to succeed."
Under the direction of Dr. Saami Khalifian, Double Board-Certified Dermatologist and Medical Director for the AMI Training Centers, the center will offer tailored learning opportunities across experience levels, with a focus on advanced injection techniques, complication management, and practice development. The center provides training across the Allergan Aesthetics portfolio, including facial injectables, body contouring, skincare, and plastic and regenerative medicine. Participants will gain the skills, confidence, and peer connections necessary to accelerate career and practice growth within a collaborative professional community.
As Allergan Aesthetics continues to expand its on-site training footprint, insights from AMI Austin will help inform future AMI innovation. Learnings from real-world programming and provider feedback will guide the evolution of AMI's forward-looking strategy, ensuring future centers are built for scalability, adaptability, and impact with customers.
The new location joins a growing U.S. network that includes AMI Orange County at Allergan Aesthetics headquarters in Irvine, California, and the recently opened AMI Atlanta. For more information on AMI Training Centers, visit trainingcenters.amionline.com.
