2010 Physician Botox Training Announced by the IAPAM
The IAPAM announces the 2010 dates for its Botox & Dermal Filler Training and Advanced Dermal Filler Training programs. Only with the IAPAM, do physicians participate hands-on, cosmetic injectable and botox training, delivered in a clean medical facility, not a hotel room.
With the recent proliferation of the DIY Botox Trend, physicians must re-position themselves as the most pre-eminently qualified, expert medical providers of cosmetic injectables. Without a doubt, proper Botox Training is critical. To support doctors training requirements in this area, the IAPAM has developed three different programs to train physicians in the injection of botulinum toxins (Botox and Dysport) and dermal fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, and Perlane).
1. Physicians with limited Botox injection experience, should first attend the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium in Scottsdale, Arizona.
2. 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.
3. Once a physician has 6 months of injection experience, the IAPAM also has the Advanced Dermal Filler training program, where doctors have an opportunity to learn more advanced dermal filler injection techniques, including: jaw contouring, tear trough, cheek augmentation, and advanced lip sculpting techniques. This training is offered in Toronto, Canda as well.
The IAPAM’s Botox/Dermal Filler Bootcamp Leads the Industry
“What makes our Dermal Filler & Botox Training stand out from all the others is that physicians get to inject 10-14 live patients over the weekend, and they do it in a clean medical facility, not a hotel room chair,” says IAPAM Executive-Director, Jeff Russell. “This allows the attendees to learn proper injection technique, as well as the opportunity to inject and evaluate a diversity of patients, all with different musculature structure. This comprehensive experience is critical for success in the medical spa industry.”

The IAPAM’s Botox/Dermal Filler Bootcamp offers physicians two days of the most intensive, hands-on cosmetic injectable training available. The faculty instructing at the IAPAM’s Botox/Dermal Filler Bootcamp are experienced in the “industry’s best practices,” particularly regarding the teaching of Botox and other neurotoxin injection techniques and protocols.
The Botox / Dermal Filler Bootcamp includes:
– The most live patients: 10-14 live patients;
– The lowest class ratios: No more than 2-3 physicians per instructor;
– Injecting all 11 areas of the upper and lower face;
– Over 6 hours of Hands-on Botox and Filler training each day;
– Includes all cosmetic injectable product;
– Botox and Filler training materials with DVD’s;
– Certificate Awarded; and
– Botox and Filler CME’s available for IAPAM members.
Day One covers Botox/Neurotoxin Injectables.
Attendees are presented with a brief, but thorough, review of the muscles of facial expression. The indications, risks and benefits of Botox and other neurotoxins will be discussed for both the upper and lower face. Also, ideal dosing and advanced Botox injection techniques will be emphasized. Didactic and demonstration portions of the training are very limited. The majority of the program focuses on registrants completing hands-on injecting of patients.
Attendees will perform the following botulinum toxin procedures:
* treatment of glabellar frown lines;
* forehead lines;
* periorbital rhytid;
* nasalis ”bunny” lines;
* melomental “marionette” lines;
* platysmal bands, horizontal necklace lines;
* pebbly “peau d’orange” chin; and
* hypertrophic inferior orbiculartis ”jelly roll.”
Day Two: Dermal Fillers – Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane.
Instructors offer a didactic presentation on the use of Restylane/Perlane and Juvederm. Registrants will perform the following hands-on procedures with Juvederm, Restylane and/or Perlane:
– Marionette Lines;
– Lip augmentation; and
– Nasolabial Folds.
All attendees of IAPAM training programs receive one year practice-support, patient consultation training, procedural protocols, and injectable best practices.
Experts in the field of aesthetic medicine, such as Dr. Marc Scheiner, applaud courses like the IAPAM’s because they gives the registrants the “confidence necessary to begin immediately offering the procedure.” Equally, previous attendees, such as Dr. Elliott, herald that, the IAPAM’s Bootcamp is a “FANTASTIC experience!! Well worth one’s time, money and travel. Not only does one leave feeling much more comfortable and confident in one’s ability to provide a good service, but graduates have a better understanding of the technical and artistic side of Botox and Dermal fillers.”
