⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ PracticalCME Wellness Course Reviews
Finally a class that teaches science backed aesthetics. The didactic portion is filled with so much knowledge and the hands on portion was very informative as well!
Read MoreOliviaBTX and Fillers and Regenerative Aesthetics April 2026I took the hands-on toxin/filler and hands-on PRP/microneedling courses on the same day. I highly recommend this cme for all physicians looking for training because it is taught by a physician (very rare) and recommends only FDA approved indications/treatment options. I appreciate his approach in discussing the clinical data and recommendations on treatments aimed at efficacy - not for the sole purpose of extracting every last cent out of a client. I know it is a business in the end but most of what others recommend take s only into account maximizing profits without regard for true efficacy. As a physician, we are trained to recommend and provide treatments that are safe and efficacious above all else. Making money is secondary when treating real human beings. Thank you Dr. Zengo!
Read MoreMy training with Dr. Zengo was exceptional. I felt fully prepared going into the class because of the extensive knowledge and resources he provided beforehand, and the hands-on training truly solidified everything. He was readily available for questions both before and after the course, which made the entire experience even better. I look forward to taking more classes with him in the future.
Read MoreKennedy HowardATL Botulinum Toxin/Fillers January 2026Dear Dr. Zengo,
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your time and sharing your extensive knowledge on Botulinum Toxin and dermal filler administration, as well as the marketing and pricing strategies that support a successful aesthetic practice.
Your insights were incredibly valuable, your guidance and real-time feedback as I injected my own patient really boosted my confidence. I truly appreciated your tips and advice on how to save money while maintaining quality care and retain patients as I grow my own practice.
I hope for more opportunities to learn from you again in the future.
Best Regards,
Judy

I am so thankful I found your company for my education. After taking your courses, my fear of not mastering these skills faded into excitement and confidence.

Yes. It reviews the 20 most-marketed peptides with their real human evidence, the 503A Bulks List status, and WADA considerations, and it explains the difference between an FDA-approved drug, a compounded preparation, a research chemical, and a supplement, including how to decode supplier marketing.

Yes. It is a fully online, self-paced video training course from PracticalCME, taught by a board-certified physician, and accessible on demand from any device.
