BOTOX TRAINING – LEVEL I COURSE

Each Botox course will cover the full spectrum of cosmetic Botox applications.  Every registered Nurse will be allowed to bring two volunteers. The Nurse will inject their volunteers for facial cosmetic, or medical treatment.  The Nurses staff is encouraged to fill this position as volunteers.  This will allow the volunteer to participate in the entire course.  The course begins with a thorough review of craniofacial anatomy, Botox pharmacology, and Botox dilution and preparation.  Patient selection and consultation training precedes the live injection practicum.  The course summary will train Nurses how to bill, advertise, and how to host Botox events.  This level one course produces confident practitioners that can integrate the following most common Botox injections into their practice:

• Crows Feet
• Glabellar Lines
• Procerus
• Frontalis

While Botox is most commonly thought of as a cosmetic treatment, it was originally developed by a dentist for medical treatment.  Over the years it has become the first line treatment of choice for a number of medical/neurological conditions. The course will also review the use of Botox for treatment of headache and orofacial pain disorders such as Temporal Mandibular Dysfunction, migraine, and chronic daily headache.  Comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of headache disorders will be covered to provide the expertise needed to safely incorporate headache treatment into a medical practice

FILLER TRAINING – LEVEL I COURSE

Filler is a hyaluronic acid frequently used to smooth out wrinkles of the face, in the areas of nasolabial folds, lips, oral commissures and marionette lines. It can also be used to address uneven lips, improve perioral aesthetics and for high lip line cases. Our instructors have decades of teaching and clinical experience and will give you a full understanding of placement techniques, patient prescreening, and anatomical aesthetics.
