Botox Training with the IAPAM Helps Physicians Build Their Practices

As reported by the IAPAM and other aesthetic medicine associations, there were 11.6 million cosmetic minimally-invasive procedures performed in 2010, and 5.4 million of these were botox injections and other neurotoxin treatments.

As the demand for minimally-invasive treatments continues to rise, specifically the demand for Botox, dermal fillers and other cosmetic injectables, physicians who are expertly trained through multi-day botox training programs like the IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium, can capture this growing market and greatly benefit their practice's bottom line.

As reported by the IAPAM and other aesthetic medicine associations, there were 11.6 million cosmetic minimally-invasive procedures performed in 2010, and 5.4 million of these were botox injections and other neurotoxin treatments.

The IAPAM confirms this trend, noting that each of their Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums and its Botox and Dermal Filler Bootcamps and its Advanced Filler Training programs has sold out in the first half of 2011. Furthermore, while Botox training is still very popular, more and more physicians are also appreciating that the key to a successful and profitable aesthetic practice is not just offering Botox treatments, but also other skin rejuvenation procedures including: chemical peels, microdermabrasion, Laser/IPL skin rejuvenation, and physician-directed skin care.

In order to profitably add aesthetic medicine to a practice, physicians need to incorporate these key fundamentals, as taught at the IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium:

- Understanding the latest trends in aesthetic medicine and how to use them to one's advantage;
- How to develop a successful business plan including steps on how to integrate medical aesthetics procedures into a practice or build a patient base;
- How to perform aesthetic patient consultations;
- How to add the most profitable cosmetic injectable procedures, including: Botox ®, and dermal fillers (i.e. Juvederm ®, Restylane ®, and Perlane ®), chemical peels, and physician directed skin care;
- Extensive, physician-led, hands-on training in Botulinum Toxin Type A (i.e. Botox®), IPL / laser technology, and medical microdermabrasion; and
- How to maximize profits by offering the most profitable aesthetic medicine procedures like physician strength chemical peels, tailored to meet a clinic's specific patient profiles.

The IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium program is unique in addressing all of these issues.

Physicians learn best practices from the IAPAM's faculty of physicians and experienced instructors, and botox training is a key component of the IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium, which also offers expert instruction in: Dermal Fillers, Microdermbarsion, Chemical Peels, and Lasers and Light Treatments & Hair Removal.

Leading the training is a team of renowned cosmetic dermatologists who will cover aesthetic patient consultations, facial anatomy & musculature, Botox ® and Dysport ® product preparation, pain management, procedural protocols, post treatment issues and continuing patient support.

IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium is the only multi-day training program that also offers one year of unlimited practice support to all registrants. Indeed, physicians who have attended the IAPAM's Symposium, raved that, "the support you get from IAPAM afterwards definitely makes the course different than the others." Also, the conference materials provided allow each attendee and their staff to review the key content of the aesthetic medicine conference. These materials include: the complete Building a Successful Cosmetic Medical Business training program (16 training DVD's, including: Mastering the Consultation Process, Guide to Selling Photofacials, Marketing Your Cosmetic Practice, Sell Injectables and Explode Your Business, etc. as well as leader guide and 5 staff workbooks.)
