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 Physicians 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 demand from our one comprehensive Botox/Filler or PRP/Microneedling course.

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.  Unaccredited training will not be accepted by your professional liability insurance.  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 that fully certifies you to have the skills to out-perform your competition 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 Botox training programs.

AAFP accreditation certification for PracticalCME Botox and Filler Training Courses

Chicago Botox Training 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 AMA Category 1 level CME certificates before you even attend the live Atlanta, GA class date. Then, at the live date you will experience…

  • First, All MD Faculty with at least 10 years’ experience
  • Maximum of 6 Participants per live hands-on class with an average class size of 3.
  • One-on-One Supervised Injection or Microneedling treatment of your own Patient

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 Training (PRP) or Microneedling Training, so that you can certify in multiple in-demand procedures on the same live training date.

Why are Chicago Botox Training PracticalCME Graduates 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.
