IAPAM’s hCG Training Agrees with the Dr. Oz Show: Physician Supervision is Key

This week, the Dr. Oz Show showcased hCG for weight loss.  The IAPAM agrees with the Dr. Oz show, that an hCG diet should not be undertaken unless under a doctor’s supervision, and one should never buy hCG. hCG is only available by prescription from a physician.

The IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) has trained over 240 physicians on how to safely and effectively offer hCG to their patients, and well over 5,000 patients have successfully lost weight on hCG using the IAPAM’s Exclusive hCG Protocol (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/physician-hcg-weight-loss-training). The IAPAM is the leader in training physicians in the successful delivery of a medically supervised hCG weight loss program.

Proponents of hCG for weight management agree that the ultimate success of hCG in weight loss is linked to medical supervision and strict adherence to the medical protocol, originally outlined by Dr. Simeons in his manuscript, Pounds and Inches, (http://www.iapam.com/dr-simeons-pounds-and-inches-manuscript.html).  Read more

The IAPAM’s Botox Training can help Physicians Boost Earnings

As the demand for botox and other minimally-invasive treatments continues to rise, physicians can capture this growing botox and other injectables market and greatly benefit their practices through expert botox training at multi-day seminars like the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Training (www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/botoxtraining).

As reported by ASPS, there were nearly 11.6 million minimally invasive procedures performed in 2010, with botox treatments leading the way. Equally, Allergan reported that sales of BOTOX Cosmetic increased 11% over 2009.

The IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) confirms this trend, noting that each of their Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) sold out in 2010.  Furthermore, while botox training (http://www.iapam.com/botoxtraining) is still very popular, more and more physicians are also appreciating that the key to a successful and profitable aesthetic practice is not just offering Botox Cosmetic ®  treatments, but also other skin rejuvenation procedures including: chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and IPL/laser skin rejuvenation(http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/laser-training).   More...

In order to profitably add botox, chemical peels, lasers etc. to a practice, physicians need to incorporate these key fundamentals, as taught at the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium:

  1. Understanding the latest trends in aesthetic medicine and how to use them to one’s advantage;
  2. How to develop a successful business plan including steps on how to integrated medical aesthetics procedures into a practice or build a patient base; Read more

    IAPAM offers Botox Training coupled with Aesthetic Medicine Business Training

    “I left your course feeling comfortable in advanced injecting techniques and am much more confident for when I start practice in September. I do not see how a [botox training] course could provide more hands-on with such a high degree of experienced supervision. As testament to this, I have decided not to enroll in two different courses I had planned to take this fall, rather if I do decide to have additional training, I will be signing up for another session of IAPAM’s Botox Bootcamp and Advanced Filler Courses with you.” ~ Dr. Dillman

    “The symposium was unbelievable. I feel that I am ready to open the Aesthetic part of my practice in a month or so.” ~ Dr. Simon

    “The Symposium presented clinical training and common-sense business advice by knowledgeable and passionate instructors. I feel the education (lecture and hands-on time) was well worth the investment, but the extensive refresher materials provide invaluable continued reference.” ~ Dr. Wolfe

    “The IAPAM conference is one of the most practical medical conferences I have attended. I appreciated the advice regarding setting up your own business and then more important, how to market your business. The written materials and DVD’s are an invaluable resource. The entire staff at IAPAM is professional and such a pleasure to work with. It is definitely money well spent.” ~ Dr. Silva

    Botox Popularity Continues and Capturing Market Takes Botox Training

    The recently published ASPS 2010 Statistics supports the position that botox, as well as the other top 4 non-surgical procedures:  laser hair removal, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, chemical peels and microdermabrasion, will continue to be the aesthetic treatments of choice in the next decade.  However, only physicians who have completed comprehensive, multi-day programs, like the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Training, can safely and successfully capture their portion of this consistently growing market.
     
    Americans had over 13 million cosmetic procedures last year, and over 11.5 million of these were minimally invasive treatments. Equally, while surgical procedures grew by only 2%, non-surgical treatments increased by 5%.  Leading the way in minimally-invasive modalities was botox (2,557,068 botox injections preformed), followed closely by hyaluronic acid dermal filler injections (1,313,038 procedures).  Given this surge in the popularity of injectables, the importance of hands-on, physician-lead botox training (http://www.iapam.com/botox-training) has never been more important. The IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) recognizes that to safely and successfully add botox to a practice, physicians need expert botox information.  To that end, the IAPAM offers the industry’s best botox training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/botoxtraining), delivered by board-certified dermatologists acutely familiar with the skin, the technique and art of injectables, botoxc vs. dysport, as well as botox side effects, etc. Read more
