Small Group Hands-on Botox Injection Training, Botox Training, Filler Training, taught by a Physician in a course with CME accreditation.

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 Washington DC 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.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Botox & Filler Training in Washington DC and Northern Virginia

Is the Washington DC Botox and filler course CME accredited?

Yes. The online module included with your Washington DC registration is CME accredited and accepted in Virginia, Washington DC, and Maryland for physicians (AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™), nurse practitioners (AANP contact hours), physician assistants (AAPA reciprocity), and registered nurses (ANCC contact hours). PracticalCME has offered accredited botulinum toxin and dermal filler training since 2014, and the curriculum includes pharmacology hours that count toward NP and RN continuing education requirements in jurisdictions that mandate them. This upgraded accreditation replaces the AAFP accreditation on June 1, 2026 and beyond.

Who teaches the Washington DC Botox training, and where in Northern Virginia is the hands-on held?

Your live hands-on instructor is Theresa Huyen, MD, a residency-trained internist who has built a successful aesthetic practice from scratch and has over 8 years of aesthetic injection experience. She is licensed in Virginia and has taught at PracticalCME’s Northern Virginia clinical site for over 3 years. Your online course instructor is Gregory Zengo, MD, PracticalCME’s medical director with over 1.5 million units of neurotoxin injected and 22 years of filler experience. The hands-on takes place at Dr. Huyen’s clinical office in Falls Church, Virginia, exclusively reserved for PracticalCME trainees. The location is convenient for attendees from Washington DC, Arlington, Alexandria, Tysons, Fairfax, Georgetown, Bethesda, Silver Spring, and the broader DC Metro and Northern Virginia region.

What Botox and filler indications does the Washington DC course cover?

The curriculum covers 11 botulinum toxin treatment areas: glabellar lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, platysma bands, brow lift, DAO lip corners, upper lip “lip flip”, chin dimpling, gummy smile, bunny lines, and facial slimming. For dermal fillers, you learn treatment design for nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lip design (border and body injections), and peri-oral applications. All six FDA-approved neuromodulator formulations are reviewed, including Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, Daxxify, and Letybo. No separate “advanced” or “Level 2” course is needed.

How many students are in each Washington DC Botox class, and what product is included?

Each Washington DC hands-on session typically has 4 students, ensuring one-on-one time with Dr. Huyen during live injection at the Falls Church, Virginia clinical training center. Your tuition includes 20 units of botulinum toxin and up to 1 cc of FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler for supervised injection on a patient you bring. Additional product for extra hands-on can be purchased upon request.

Can I add PRP and microneedling certification on the same day in Washington DC?

Yes. PracticalCME’s Washington DC schedule offers Botox and dermal filler hands-on in the morning starting at 8am, followed by Regenerative Aesthetics (PRP and microneedling) in the afternoon at the same Falls Church, Virginia clinical site. Because this is a clinical office, PRP is spun and injected hands-on along with microneedling. The 4-Procedure FAST TRACK® bundle gives you up to four procedure certifications and 23 contact hours in a single Saturday at a significant discount over registering separately. 0% financing through Affirm is available at checkout.

Do Washington DC and Northern Virginia accept this Botox training for CME and credentialing?

Yes. PracticalCME’s CME accreditation is recognized by medical and nursing boards in Virginia, Washington DC, and Maryland. AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ are accepted for physician license renewal in all three jurisdictions. AANP and ANCC credits satisfy continuing education requirements for nurse practitioners and registered nurses in the DC Metro area. The dual certification (online CME certificate plus hands-on certificate) is the standard accepted by professional liability insurance carriers and medspa credentialing committees throughout Northern Virginia, DC, and Maryland.

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.

Why are PracticalCME Washington, DC 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.
