Boston Botox Training and Dermal Filler Certification Hands-On ANCC and AMA Accredited

PracticalCME’s Boston Botox training and dermal filler certification is held at the Winchester, Massachusetts clinical office of Wynne Huang, MD, about 8 miles north of downtown Boston. Nurses, nurse practitioners, PAs, and physicians come from Cambridge, Somerville, Medford, Woburn, Burlington, Lexington, and the rest of the Route 128 corridor. They also come from the North Shore and Merrimack Valley (Lowell, Andover, Salem, Newburyport), MetroWest and Worcester, and the South Shore. Others travel from across New England: southern New Hampshire (Nashua, Manchester, Portsmouth), Providence and Rhode Island, Hartford and Connecticut, Portland, Maine, and Vermont. Winchester sits between I-93 and I-95, has two MBTA Commuter Rail stops on the Lowell Line, and is roughly 20 to 30 minutes from Logan International Airport. You can fly in Friday night, train Saturday morning, and be home by Saturday afternoon.

Because Boston is a clinical site rather than a hotel meeting room, your Botox, dermal filler, and optional same-day PRP and microneedling hands-on takes place in working treatment rooms. You follow the same consent, treatment design, and injection workflow you will use in your own practice. Dr. Huang is a board-certified family physician with over a decade of aesthetic injection experience. She is a former Tufts Family Medicine Chief Resident and the 2020 recipient of the Tufts University Bradshaw Teaching Award. That makes Boston one of the few places in New England to learn injectables from a physician recognized for teaching, in a CME-accredited, small-group format.

Most Botox courses marketed around Boston are one-day, large-group events run by traveling nurse or dentist instructors in rented hotel ballrooms. They often carry no recognized CME accreditation. PracticalCME’s Boston course costs about the same, but it is CME-accredited, taught by a Massachusetts physician, and held in a working clinical office in Winchester. Here is how they compare.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Botox & Filler Training in Boston and New England

Is the Boston Botox and dermal filler course CME accredited?

Yes. The online course included with every Boston registration carries 7.25 hours of CME, triple-accredited through Global Education Group. That means AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ for physicians and PAs, AANP contact hours for nurse practitioners, and ANCC contact hours for registered nurses, including 4.7 pharmacology hours. These are the credit types Massachusetts and the other New England licensing boards recognize for continuing education. The live hands-on day adds a separate 4.5-hour Certificate of Completion for credentialing and professional liability insurance.

Who teaches the Boston hands-on, and where is it held?

Your hands-on instructor is Wynne Huang, MD, a board-certified family physician licensed in Massachusetts. She has over a decade of aesthetic injection experience and is the founder of Radiant Medispa. She is a former Chief Resident of the Tufts University Family Medicine residency and received Tufts' Bradshaw Teaching Award in 2020. Training takes place at her clinical office in Winchester, MA, reserved exclusively for PracticalCME trainees on class dates. Your online course is taught by Gregory Zengo, MD, PracticalCME's medical director since 2008, who has injected over 1.5 million units of neurotoxin.

How do I get to the Winchester, MA training site from Boston and the rest of New England?

Winchester is about 8 miles north of downtown Boston, between I-93 and I-95 (Route 128). It is typically 20 to 30 minutes from Logan International Airport on a Saturday morning. The MBTA Commuter Rail Lowell Line stops at both Winchester Center and Wedgemere stations. Attendees from southern New Hampshire, the North Shore, and the Merrimack Valley can drive in easily. Others fly into Logan or Manchester-Boston Regional Airport from Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The exact address and parking instructions are included in your registration confirmation.

Why does PracticalCME train in a clinical office in Boston instead of a hotel?

A working clinical office lets you train the way you will actually practice. You use treatment chairs and real exam rooms, and you follow the full workflow from consent and photography through injection and aftercare. For attendees who add Regenerative Aesthetics, PRP is drawn, spun, and injected on site the same day. Combined with a maximum of 4 attendees, the clinical setting gives Boston trainees close physician supervision and a realistic preview of running aesthetic services in their own practice.

What Botox and filler treatment areas does the Boston course cover?

You learn 11 neurotoxin indications: glabellar lines, forehead lines, crow's feet, brow lift, bunny lines, upper lip "lip flip," gummy smile, DAO lip corners, chin dimpling, platysma bands, and facial slimming. Dermal filler training covers nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and complete lip design with both border and body injections. All six FDA-approved neuromodulators are reviewed: Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, Daxxify, and Letybo. Complication recognition, vascular occlusion management, and hyaluronidase use are included. There is no separate "advanced" course to buy.

How many students are in each Boston class, and what product is included?

Boston classes are capped at 4 attendees with one physician instructor. Tuition includes 20 units of botulinum toxin and up to 1cc of FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler for your supervised injections on a patient you bring. Choosing a friend or family member you already know improves both safety and learning. Additional toxin or filler for extended hands-on practice with Dr. Huang can be purchased in advance.

Can I add PRP and microneedling certification on the same Boston date?

Yes. Botox and filler hands-on runs in the morning starting at 8am, and Regenerative Aesthetics (PRP, microneedling, and exosomes) follows the same day. The 4-Procedure FAST TRACK® bundle includes both accredited online courses and both hands-on certificates at a discount compared with registering separately. That is a strong option for New England attendees traveling in for a single Saturday. 0% financing through Affirm is available at checkout for qualified buyers.

What do I need to complete before my Boston hands-on date?

Finish the self-paced online course and post-test before your Saturday in Winchester. Access begins the moment you register, so you can start the same evening. The online module covers facial anatomy, neuromodulator pharmacology, dosing for all 11 indications, filler selection, lip design, and complication management. You download your first CME certificate when you pass the post-test, then earn your second hands-on certificate with Dr. Huang at the live session. Online access and free curriculum updates continue for 2 years.

Boston 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 certificates before you even attend the live Boston class date. Then, at the live date you will experience…

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 other injectable certification services so that you can certify in both at the same live training date, because we know your time is valuable.

Why are Boston PracticalCME Trainees More Successful?

Since our Botox Training Course focuses on customizing the treatment plan to the patient’s own movement, it 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 and NP’s who took our training and taught their supervising physicians a few things upon return to the office.
