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.

Botox Training: IAPAM Announces 2010 Training Dates for Physicians

Presented by the IAPAM, the Botox & Dermal Filler Training Bootcamp and the Advanced Dermal Filler Training Program announces their dates for 2010.  Through the IAPAM’s industry-leading aesthetic medicine educational programs, physicians will continue to recieve the most intensive, hands-on cosmetic injectable and Botox training available in North America.

The IAPAM has developed three different programs to train physicians in the injection of Botulinum Toxins (Botox and Dysport) and dermal fillers. Physicians with limited Botox injection experience, should first attend the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium in Scottsdale, Arizona.  Physicians with some Botox injection experience will then want to attend the Botox & Dermal Filler Bootcamp, where they inject over 10 live patients over the weekend in Toronto, Canada.  Once a physician has 6 months of injection experience, we also have the Advanced Dermal Filler training program where they’ll have an opportunity to learn more advanced dermal filler injection techniques, including: Jaw contouring, Tear trough, Cheek Augmentation, and Advanced Lip sculpting techniques in Toronto as well. And most importantly, all of our injection training is done in a medical facility or medical spa, not in a hotel room chair. Read more
