  • I took the hands-on toxin/filler and hands-on PRP/microneedling courses on the same day. I highly recommend this cme for all physicians looking for training because it is taught by a physician (very rare) and recommends only FDA approved indications/treatment options. I appreciate his approach in discussing the clinical data and recommendations on treatments aimed at efficacy - not for the sole purpose of extracting every last cent out of a client. I know it is a business in the end but most of what others recommend take s only into account maximizing profits without regard for true efficacy. As a physician, we are trained to recommend and provide treatments that are safe and efficacious above all else. Making money is secondary when treating real human beings. Thank you Dr. Zango!

  • My training with Dr. Zengo was exceptional. I felt fully prepared going into the class because of the extensive knowledge and resources he provided beforehand, and the hands-on training truly solidified everything. He was readily available for questions both before and after the course, which made the entire experience even better. I look forward to taking more classes with him in the future.

  • Dear Dr. Zengo,

    I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your time and sharing your extensive knowledge on Botox and dermal filler administration, as well as the marketing and pricing strategies that support a successful aesthetic practice.

    Your insights were incredibly valuable, your guidance and realtime feedback as I injected my own patient really boosted my confidence. I truly appreciated your tips and advice on how to save money while maintaining quality care and retain patients as I grow my own practice.

    I hope for more opportunities to learn from you again in the future.

     

    Best Regards,

    Judy

  • Fantastic! I completed PracticalCME training for Botulinum Toxin, Fillers, and Microneedling. From the beginning, I could not have asked for better! Dr. Zengo is extremely responsive to questions, phone calls, emails, online chats. He is so knowledgeable. The online didactic was clear and concise. There was so much covered in the lecture. I appreciated the downloadable and printable slides for note taking and reference. For the hands on training, I spent the day with Dr. Roop Monica Gill. The day was full of useful knowledge. She is a rock star! She is knowledgeable, highly skilled, approachable, and extremely personable. I feel like I have a new colleague and friend! Some of the additional information I obtained from this class was regarding legality and business tips. This information is crucial. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in pursuing medical aesthetics.
