In addition, we have paired up our Botox and Dermal Filler Training with Cosmetic Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) so that you can certify in both at the same live training date, because we know your time is valuable.

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.
