  • Who can attend Botox and dermal filler training in Arizona?

    Only licensed medical professionals — MD, DO, NP, PA, RN, and DDS — can attend and perform hands-on injections at our Phoenix/Scottsdale training. Attendees must hold an active U.S. license and be practicing within their scope in Arizona.  NMD's who are licensed in Arizona may also attend and do any hands-on that is in their legal scope of practice as well.

  • Will I receive a certification after completing the course?

    Yes. All graduates receive a fully accredited a CME-backed certification, accepted by medical malpractice carriers, AMA, AANP, AAPA, and AANC upon successful completion. Our FAST TRACK participants receive one certificate for completing the accredited online portion of the training followed by a second certificate at the live hands-on.  Total credits range from 11-23 if the entire day is attended.

  • How soon can I start offering Botox treatments after this course?

    Most graduates begin offering injections immediately after the course, provided they are licensed to do so in their state and have the appropriate clinical supervision.  There is no need for ongoing expensive memberships on inconvenient advanced training.  Our courses are complete and include what other training providers charge more for in an advanced class like lower face Botox and lip fillers.

  • Do you provide all products and supplies needed for hands-on training?

    Yes. PracticalCME provides all  neuromodulator and filler products for your hands-on session included in your tuition price. After completing the online program, you will be fully qualified to choose an appropriately challenging patient to assess and complete your supervised hands-on training with.  We suggest you bring this patient for your hands-on session and she will receive her supervised treatment from you at no additional charge.

  • Do you offer payment options or financing for Scottsdale training?

    Yes. We offer 0% financing through Affirm at checkout for those who qualify, which can split tuition into up to 6 interest-free monthly payments. You can apply during the checkout process

  • What neuromodulator and dermal filler brands are used during hands-on practice?

Why are PracticalCME Scottsdale Aesthetic Training Attendees More Successful?

Our Scottsdale 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.
