As the demand for minimally-invasive treatments continues to rise, specifically the demand for Botox, dermal fillers and other cosmetic injectables, physicians who are expertly trained through multi-day botox training programs like the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium, can capture this growing market and greatly benefit their practice’s bottom line.
 
As reported by the IAPAM and other aesthetic medicine associations, there were 11.6 million cosmetic minimally-invasive procedures performed in 2010, and 5.4 million of these were botox injections and other neurotoxin treatments.
 
The IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) confirms this trend, noting that each of their Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) and its Botox and Dermal Filler Bootcamps and its Advanced Filler Training programs has sold out in the first half of 2011.  Furthermore, while Botox training 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 treatments, but also other skin rejuvenation procedures including: chemical peels, microdermabrasion, Laser/IPL skin rejuvenation, and physician-directed skin care.  Read more

    The “Lipstick Effect” in Aesthetic Medicine: The 2008 ASAPS statistics support the notion that in tough economic times, small aesthetic luxuries are in demand

    .

    The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery’s (ASAPS) recently released report, 2008 Statistics on Cosmetic Surgery, outlines that 8,491,861 non-surgical procedures were done in 2008. However, this is a reduction of 11.7% over last year, and interestingly the only three growth non-surgical procedures were Calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiance) injections which was up 3%, chemical peels which were up 2.9% and laser skin resurfacing which had increased by 12%.

    Las Vegas, Nevada (www.AestheticMedicineNews.com) March 18, 2009  — Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine (IAPAM) comments that, “it is expected to see a downward trend in non-surgical procedures because many of these procedures are not being done in a plastic surgeon’s offices. These statistics are compiled from a survey of members of the ASAPS, however, many of these offerings are being preformed by professionals outside the membership of the ASAPS.” Russell further reminds us that , “not all these procedures are being performed by physicians. Since the public can get many of these procedures in both medical spas and physicians’ offices, and some of these treatments like mircodermabrasion and chemical peels may be delivered by non-medical professionals in a non-ASAPS member medical spa.” Indeed, the ASAPS supports this analysis. Among the 894 Board Certified physicians surveyed, the ASAPS found that “over fifty-three percent of cosmetic procedures in 2008 were performed in office-based facilities; 26 percent in freestanding surgicenters; and 19 percent in hospitals,” states the 2008 ASAPS report.
