Botox Training Strong Despite Economy says IAPAM

To date, all of the 2010 IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium events have sold out.  These respected and well attended multi-day educational programs are coveted training forums for physicians eager to safely, profitably and successfully add botox, hCG medical weight loss, and other aesthetic modalities to their existing practices, or to launch a medical spa.  Today, the IAPAM announced that there are additional spaces available in its upcoming Symposiums.

The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium has long offered physicians a competitive advantage through its comprehensive, hands-on, “immersion” into the field of aesthetic medicine. The IAPAM’s Symposium is the only program which gives physicians an opportunity to learn from two board-certified dermatologists, who are true experts of the skin and cosmetic injectables. In order to ensure doctors learn the best injection techniques, the botox training is done in a medical practice, not in a hotel room chair. In addition, the Symposium does not allow exhibitors, giving physicians more time for education.

Physicians who attend the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium can revisit the preeminent educational experience they receive by using the IAPAM’s 3 comprehensive clinical training DVD’s, offering focused instruction on: botox training, dermal filler training and microdermabrasion training.  The three DVD’s are hosted by IAPAM faculty member, Dr. Marc Scheiner, and cover three key anti-aging treatment areas:

• Botox Training,

• Dermal Filler Training, and

• Microdermabrasion training.

Equally, Symposium attendees will receive 19 Cosmetic Practice training DVD’s.  These resources allow doctors and their staff to re-immerse themselves in IAPAM’s training at their convenience. A preview of the IAPAM’s Symposium can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of-jMxVNLOY

Dr. Scheiner, applauds courses like the IAPAM’s, primarily because they “allow the physician to inject several live patients” which truly gives the “confidence necessary to begin immediately offering the procedure.”  Dr. Jennifer Linder, who also instructs at the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium adds, “in order to perform Botox treatments well, one must understand the medication and how it specifically works.  Physicians must know how to appropriately dilute the product and how to safely and effectively administer it.  Training should provide an in-depth discussion of facial anatomy and how to evaluate muscle movements to decide on product placement.  One must understand the details of how Botox interacts with the muscles, the natural variations of the musculature of the face, as well as how to achieve beautiful aesthetic results by decreasing muscle contraction in a designed and organized fashion. Effective training programs, like the IAPAM’s Symposium, should prepare doctors to effectively handle any adverse events both from a medical standpoint, as well as helping the patient to understand the situation.  Marketing assistance is also very valuable, and good training seminars, like the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Practice Start-Up Workshop, discuss how to market services.”

The popularity of the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium is consistent with the demand by doctors for expert and accredited cosmetic injectable training.  Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the IAPAM has witnessed the tremendous growth of minimally-invasive modalities. “We are hearing from our members that minimally invasive procedures like botox, dermal fillers as well as microdermabrasion have exploded in demand, and we are seeing a correlating increase in the demand for our botox training.  Moreover, physicians are realizing they not only need to offer botox treatments to their patients, but also laser hair removal, IPL skin rejuvenation, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion, and organizations like the IAPAM educate doctors on how to package treatments for the most appealing and profitable outcomes.”
