❔What is the PracticalCME Difference?
Attend the Best Botulinum Toxin Certification Training , and Practice Confidently!

You are only taught by MD’s who have built successful full-time aesthetic practices. Learn from a MD’s who have hired and supervised aesthetic RN’s and NP’s, not traveling social media personalities with little experience building a successful real-world practice.
Importantly, PracticalCME teaches no “Advanced” level courses. You learn everything that works and is in demand from our one comprehensive BTX/Filler or PRP/Microneedling course. No need to waste money on “advanced” or “Level 2” courses.
In addition, NP’s cannot be trained by RN’s and MD’s cannot be trained by NP’s or RN’s in an accredited CME environment. We have had to re-train hundreds of students who wasted their time with unaccredited training in the past.
With PracticalCME, you get Premium, Small-Group Botox Injection Training in San Diego that fully certifies you to have the skills to excel, and support for 2-Years at no extra charge. All of this for about the same price as the unaccredited, non-transparent, large group, nurse-taught training programs.
See how PracticalCME compares side-by-side to other training programs.

San Diego Botox Hands-On Courses for Nurses, Physicians and Nurse Practitioners are taught by PracticalCME throughout the year. PracticalCME’s FAST TRACK ™ Online plus Live Blended learning allows participants to learn the material at home at your own pace prior to the live hands-on training date. Therefore, you will be fully confident in your knowledge, and earn your first of two CME certificates before you even attend the live class date. Then, at the live date you will experience…
- All MD Faculty with at least 10 years’ experience
- Maximum of 4-5 Participants per live hands-on class
- One-on-One Supervised Injection of your own Patient
- Botox ® and Juvederm ® is supplied for each attendee to use at no additional cost.

Our blended dual-certification online + live training leads the industry. As a result, PracticalCME has earned an average of 4.8 stars in reviews from actual attendees since our first blended FAST TRACK Botox Training Course was held in 2014. In addition, we have paired up our Botox and Dermal Filler Training with Cosmetic Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) so that you can certify in both at the same live training date, because we know your time is valuable.
Why are San Diego PracticalCME Trainees More Successful?
Our Botox Training Course focuses on customizing the treatment plan to the patient’s own movement, and never follows a “cookbook” approach. For example, we teach a different dilution and precise muscle identification techniques so you can truly isolate the true cause of the patient’s wrinkles and effectively stop the clock on their aging process even on your first few patients, without having to see the patient back for touch-up treatments. The online course material drills these techniques home with additional treatment videos demonstrating the best technique prior to your live hands-on training class.
Our Dermal Filler Training Course curriculum focuses on using less product but at the proper depth to achieve the most natural filling of static folds and wrinkles of the face, in addition to the most natural lip reinflation techniques. Moreover, you will be impressed with the results when simply using the right technique and depth at your supervised hands-on treatment session. Their folds and wrinkles will disappear before your eyes while your patient remains comfortable.
As a result, PracticalCME has heard from many RN’s who took our training and taught their supervising physicians a few things upon return to the office.
Space is limited, So Register Today and Begin Learning Tonight
Each live date is limited to 4 participants before it is marked SOLD OUT. In fact, PracticalCME has only around 100 live training seats in Botox and Dermal Filler Training annually. Our award-winning, all-MD faculty take time away from their own successful practices to teach only a few times a year. This is why so many people travel to experience our small-group, in-depth blended online + live certification. Therefore, if the next San Diego area live training is sold out, scroll down and register now for the next open date. Then, you will receive your online content and can still begin learning and earning your first certification tonight.
