The Atlanta Botox and filler training market in 2027
Several national aesthetic training brands offer Botox and filler courses in Atlanta, including AAFE (American Academy of Facial Esthetics), AMET (Aesthetic Medical Educators Training), and Empire Medical Training. Each of these providers follows the national model: ten or more attendees per session, no publicly named instructor for each course date, and venue information that often lists only the city rather than the specific training location.
The choice between national-brand training and physician-led small-group training with an MD who is named and has practiced in Georgia for over 25 years is a clear distinction among Botox Training programs in Atlanta.
What PracticalCME offers in Atlanta
The PracticalCME Atlanta Botox and Filler Training course is built on five commitments that differentiate it from national-brand courses available in the same city.
- Named MD instructor. The hands-on session in Atlanta is taught by Gregory P. Zengo, MD, FACOG, Founder of PracticalCME. The attendee knows before registering who will teach and inject alongside them. Dr. Zengo is licensed in Georgia and has practiced in Georgia for over 25 years. He is a former Assistant Professor at Emory Clinic in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics and was named Chief Resident and Resident Teacher of the Year during his time at Emory.
- Small group size. Maximum of five attendees per MD instructor. Most Atlanta sessions run with four to five seats filled. Each PracticalCME attendee gets direct observation and correction on every injection.
- Direct ACCME accreditation. PracticalCME’s online course is accredited through Global Education Group, a joint provider verifiable in the public ACCME directory. The course carries AMA PRA Category 1 Credit for physicians, AANP credit for nurse practitioners, and ANCC contact hours for registered nurses, with 4.7 pharmacology contact hours included where applicable. Direct ACCME accreditation (as opposed to AAFP-equivalence credit used by some national brands) is a differentiator relevant to RNs and NPs who need licensure-specific credit and pharma hours toward state licensure renewal requirements.
- Product included in tuition. 20 units of Botox(R) (not “generic or foreign label toxin), and one syringe of HA dermal filler are supplied for each attendee’s hands-on injection work. No additional product fees collected on the day of the course.
- Attendees bring their own patient. No paid model fees. Faculty-shared patients are available for out-of-town attendees who cannot bring someone.
Getting to the Atlanta training site
Atlanta’s position as a national travel hub makes it one of the easiest PracticalCME destinations to reach from anywhere in the United States.
By air: Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) is the busiest airport in the world by passenger volume, with nonstop service from most United States cities and many international origins. Learners flying in typically land at ATL, collect bags, and reach our Dunwoody Perimeter metro Atlanta hotel within 30 to 45 minutes.
By MARTA: Atlanta’s rapid transit system connects ATL airport directly to the Dunwoody/Perimeter Mall station.
By car: Four interstates converge in Atlanta: I-285 (the perimeter loop), I-75 (north to Chattanooga and Nashville, south to Macon and Florida), I-85 (northeast to Greenville and Charlotte, southwest to Montgomery), and I-20 (east to Augusta and Columbia, west to Birmingham). Driving times from regional origins:
- Chattanooga, TN: approximately 2 hours
- Birmingham, AL: approximately 2 hours 15 minutes
- Greenville, SC: approximately 2 hours 15 minutes
- Nashville, TN: approximately 4 hours
- Charlotte, NC: approximately 4 hours
- Jacksonville, FL: approximately 5 hours
Attendees driving in from these regional origins can often plan the course as a single-night trip rather than a multi-night stay.
Who should take Botox and filler training in Atlanta through PracticalCME
The PracticalCME Atlanta Botox and Filler course is designed for licensed clinicians who need both didactic CME and supervised hands-on injection practice in a small-group setting. Eligible professions include physicians (MD, DO), physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and registered nurses working under appropriate state supervision requirements. Dentists are also eligible where state scope of practice permits aesthetic injection.
The curriculum covers the core aesthetic injection scope: glabellar lines, crow’s feet, forehead lines, lip augmentation, nasolabial folds, consent protocols, vascular occlusion management, and hyaluronidase use. The course does not cover mid-face filler (cheekbone, jawline, undereye) as a deliberate scope decision based on the clinical judgment that mid-face injection warrants a separate dedicated training rather than a brief mention at the end of a foundational day.
For clinicians specifically seeking regenerative aesthetics training, PracticalCME also offers PRP and Microneedling Training in Atlanta as a separate hands-on course, and a combined four-procedure Atlanta certification bundle covering Botox, filler, PRP, and microneedling in one trip.
Frequently asked questions about Botox and filler training in Atlanta
What is the best Botox training in Atlanta?
The best option depends on the clinician’s goals, learning style, and scope of practice.

Our companion Best Botox Training 2027 Buyer’s Guide on aesthetic-training.com scores seven national training providers against eight consistent criteria.
Is Atlanta Botox training CME accredited?
Accreditation varies by provider and is worth verifying before enrollment. The PracticalCME course is directly ACCME-accredited through Global Education Group, a joint provider listed in the public ACCME directory. It carries 7.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit hours, AANP credit, and ANCC contact hours, including 4.7 pharmacology contact hours where applicable. If a provider claims CME credit, ask which specific accrediting body awards the credit and verify the provider in that body’s public directory before paying.
