The Dermodality Institute of Modern Esthetics (DIME) was born out of a deep passion for education and our commitment to elevating the standards of esthetic training. Rooted in the legacy of Dermodality Skin Solutions, a skincare company founded in 2004 by President Tony Vogel, Dermodality has been a trusted professional skincare line serving estheticians and skincare professionals for over two decades.

At Dermodality, we pride ourselves on offering advanced, clinically proven skincare products that deliver impressive, transformative results for all Fitzpatrick skin types and concerns. Early in his career, Tony recognized a widespread challenge in the industry—many professionals lacked a comprehensive understanding of skincare fundamentals. This gap inspired the Dermodality team to begin offering advanced education courses aimed at bridging the knowledge divide and empowering estheticians with the tools they needed for real-world success.

Through countless conversations with professionals, one recurring theme emerged: aestheticians often felt let down by their initial training. Many shared that their education primarily focused on passing the state board exam, leaving them underprepared and disillusioned as they embarked on their careers. This realization drove us to create a school that would do more than just meet the minimum standards—it would redefine them.

Our mission with the Dermodality Institute of Modern Esthetics is to cultivate an enriching, holistic learning environment that not only ensures students pass their state board exams but also instills a deep understanding of the art and science of esthetics. We strive to equip our students with the confidence, knowledge, and enthusiasm to excel in the field, positioning them for a thriving career in this ever-evolving industry. By fostering passion and expertise, we aim to inspire a new generation of estheticians who are truly prepared to make their mark.
