Physician Botox Training & Aesthetic Medicine Symposium Testimonials

Since 2006, over 400 physicians have taken our aesthetic medicine training. Our programs include: Aesthetic Medicine Symposium, Physician (hCG) Medical Weight Management Training, Botox Training, Dermal Filler Training, Advanced Filler Training, and Chemical Peel Training.

Here are some of the testimonials regarding our Botox training and medical aesthetic training programs:

“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 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 (July ‘10)

“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 (April ‘10)

“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 (March ‘10)

“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 (Feb ‘10)

“I am pleased to send a positive report on the botox/filler training over the weekend. Patricia is a real expert both on content and on education. She taught in a calm, clear, and effective way, with a minimum of didacticism and a maximum of practicality. In the style of the best medical education, it was hands on nearly from the get-go, with demonstration, then direct supervision. The atmosphere was collegial. There was an excellent mix of patients. No time was wasted. The one-on-one training justified the cost. I particularly enjoyed the overwhelmingly favorable patient response. After years of traditional medicine, “Wow” factor is a pleasant surprise. Recommended to anyone getting started in this field.” ~ Dr. Carroll, MD, PhD (July ‘09)

“Just got back from Botox and Filler Boot Camp–had a FANTASTIC experience!! Well worth my time, money and travel. Not only do I now feel much more comfortable and confident in my ability to provide a good service, but I now have a better understanding of the technical and artistic side of Botox and Dermal filler. Anyone, like myself, who hasn’t had any experience in this area of aesthetics should take this course. Even individuals who have some experience will find it extremely helpful. Besides, the folks that teach it were great. Not only technically skilled, but also fun to work with. Rest assured, I will be going back to Canada for advanced filler training after I get some experience with the basic stuff!!”~ Dr. Elliott, MD  (July ‘09)

“This is a true hands on course, in my view, the only way one can confidently succeed in implementing such practice. It is a good follow up after Scottsdale Symposium. The case variety included the full range of Botox and filler applications currently in use. By itself, the case selection seemed an amazing task.  much enjoyed the true life - real office experience of managing patients - from the initial interview, to the co-discovery of possibilities for treatment to the actual treatment and in several occasions, short term follow up. ” Dr. Lahrs, MD  (June ‘09)

“ just wanted to tell you what a great weekend I had in Toronto. Patricia and her staff are among the most talented professionals I’ve met in this field. Her scheduling was flawless, and her attention to details made the day flow smoothly. She tailored the training to exactly what I needed. She and her staff have a way of putting everyone who walks through the door of the spa instantly at ease. There is no doubt in my mind that one day with her has given me a considerable competitive edge in my market of aesthetics.” Dr. Twyman (June ‘09)

“I have been interested to learn more about medical spa directorship for quite a while. Upon in depth research of the the available options I have decided on IAPAM. Their two-day symposium in Scottsdale is very well executed. It is a comprehensive introduction that defines the building blocks of such practice for those who are truly interested to offer aesthetic medicine to their patients. The didactic component draws from the experience of well respected professionals in the field while it exposes the audience to a variety of styles from the initial practitioners like dermatologists to the more recent adopters like family physicians. Jeff Russell, the course director, delivers impeccable presentations, both in style and content, that provide the business foundation to succeed in such practice. The course provides introductory hands-on experience in several aspects of aesthetic medicine like Botox and filer injections. I found this course captivating and worthwhile of my time and financial investment.” ~ Dr. A.L. MD Washington (June 2009)

“The IAPAM Symposium presented a common sense approach to starting an aesthetic practice, without over promising results. The faculty has a dept of knowledge that would help point new comers in the right direction. Also, I enjoyed the mix of didactic and hands-on teaching style that helped me to quickly familiarize myself with several aspects of aesthetic care. I highly recommend the experience because it would serve as a balanced building block to a successful practice. ” ~ Dr. OC O. North Carolina

IAPAM Best Practices for the Injection of Botox (Botulinum Toxin Type A)

.

Introduction - Botox (Botulinum Toxin Type A)

Since first introduced to the medical community in 1989, as a treatment for eye muscle disorders, administering of Botulinum Toxin Type A: Botox® and similar neurotoxin injectables, has now become the most popular non-invasive aesthetic medical procedure performed worldwide.

Unfortunately, such pervasive market growth has lead to the undesired reality that physicians and non-medical professionals mistakenly think that all they need to do to capture a percentage of this market for their practice, is to simply hang out a sign and ’start injecting.’ Read more

Botox Training Program Tips for Physicians

Botox Cosmetic injections are the most popular aesthetic medical procedure performed in the U.S.  However, such market growth has lead to the undesired reality that physicians mistakenly think that all they need to do is hang out a sign and start injecting. The IAPAM now offers doctors these tips for selecting a botox training program.

“Botox is a tool in the physician’s anti-aging arsenal, and patients’ concepts of anti-aging have grown significantly. So its critical that physicians entering this field have comprehensive hands-on botox training,” says IAPAM executive-director, Jeff Russell.   It follows, therefore, that new physicians in the field of aesthetic medicine must receive industry-leading training in facial skin and musculature to ensure the most successful patient outcomes.  These doctors should seek out comprehensive, multi-day programs, that are taught by by board-certified dermatologists acutely familiar with the skin, and the cosmetic use of botox.

Aesthetic Physician Bulletin: DIY & Illegally Imported Botox

The IAPAM has surveyed experts in the cosmetic injectable field to offer this overview for aesthetic physicians, regarding some alarming and illegal trends dealing with cosmetic injectable treatments, specifically: DIY (Do It Yourself) Botox treatments and illegally imported botulinum toxin (Dysport, Botox) product. Without a doubt, proper Botox Training is critical.

The Recent DIY Botox Trend

Recently, there have been several reports regarding DIY “botox-like” injectables, which can be purchased through the internet. A woman in Texas, Laurie D’Alleva, offered consumers a botox-like product called “Freeze,” complete with a “How-To” video, so consumers could administer the botulinum toxin themselves.  “The Texas Attorney General is charging D’Alleva with several violations of state law.  She could be fined up to $25,000 per violation per day of the Texas Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, and up to $20,000 per violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices act.”  The red-flags regarding this internet offering range from the unrealistically low pricing, indicating the product is not FDA approved, to her complete disregard for the potential life threatening side affects that can accompany the delivery of a neurotoxin into the body by an untrained, unlicensed administrator.
