Yes, absolutely. All aesthetic injection courses include dedicated hands-on clinical training with live patient models. This is a fundamental differentiator from online-only or lecture-only programs. Students practice injection techniques under the direct supervision of board-certified physician instructors in small group settings, typically with a student-to-instructor ratio that ensures personalized guidance. The live patient experience is critical for developing the muscle memory, confidence, and clinical judgment needed for safe, effective aesthetic practice.

The number of AMA PRA Category 1 CME credits varies by course. Single-day courses such as Botulinum Toxin Training or Dermal Filler Training typically provide 7 to 8 CME credits. Multi-day comprehensive programs can offer 15 or more credits. The Combo Botox + Filler course provides credits for both components. All credits are nationally recognized and accepted by state medical boards, specialty boards, and hospital credentialing committees. You will receive your CME certificate on the day of training.

Yes. Most introductory and intermediate-level courses are structured as intensive one-day programs that run from morning through late afternoon. You will receive your Certificate of Completion, CME credits, and all course materials on the same day. The one-day format is specifically designed for busy medical professionals who cannot afford extended time away from their practices. Some advanced and specialty courses, such as the Facial Anatomy Cadaver Training, may span two days for more in-depth coverage.

Your course fee covers everything you need for a complete training experience: comprehensive didactic lectures with printed and digital course materials, hands-on clinical training with live patient models, all injectable products and supplies used during the training session, your Certificate of Completion, CME credit documentation, and access to post-course online resources and support materials. Some premium courses also include lunch and refreshments. There are no hidden fees or additional charges for materials.

No prior aesthetic injection experience is required for introductory-level courses such as Botulinum Toxin Training and Complete Dermal Filler Training. These courses are specifically designed for practitioners who are new to aesthetic injectables and start with fundamental anatomy, product knowledge, and basic injection techniques before progressing to clinical practice. However, advanced courses like the Advanced Botulinum Toxin-A and Dermal Filler Training, Master Injector Series, and specialty workshops do recommend or require completion of introductory training or equivalent clinical experience first.

In California, botulinum toxin injections are regulated under the California Business and Professions Code. Physicians (MD and DO) may independently administer Botox within their scope of practice. Registered nurses (RNs) may administer Botox under physician supervision pursuant to standardized procedures as outlined in the Nursing Practice Act. Nurse practitioners (NPs) may perform aesthetic injections under standardized procedures established with a supervising physician, and physician assistants (PAs) may administer Botox under a physician supervision agreement as defined by the Medical Board of California. While California does not mandate a specific certification course, completing an accredited hands-on training program is strongly recommended and is typically required by malpractice insurance carriers, medical spa employers, and hospital credentialing committees. Having formal certification documentation also provides important legal protection for your practice.

Yes, and it is actually the most popular option among our students. The Combo Botulinum Toxin + Complete Dermal Filler Training course covers both modalities in a comprehensive program, and it is offered at a discounted rate compared to enrolling in each course separately. Learning both injectables together gives you a broader scope of treatment options from day one, which is advantageous because most aesthetic patients benefit from combination therapy approaches. The combo course is available at multiple California locations throughout the year.
