RECEIVE HANDS-ON CME CERTIFICATE #2

AAFP accreditation certification for PracticalCME Botox and Filler Training Courses

Houston, TX 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 CME certificates before you even attend the live Houston, TX 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
  • Botox ® and Juvederm ® is supplied for each attendee to use at no additional cost.
  • Complete Post-Training Support (email contact, customizable consent forms)

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 injectables on the same date so that you can certify in multiple in-demand procedures on the same live training date.

Why are Botox Training Houston PracticalCME 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.
