About the Course

Botox Workshop at Glance

Botox® has so many different uses and applications that AAOPM physicians have had to continually update the Botox Training course to include many of the advanced Botox techniques not covered at other seminars; their goal is to ensure that attendees will get the most expert training as possible through our Botox classes. Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Nurses and other healthcare professionals will learn not only the basic, cosmetic applications of Botox, but you’ll also be taught a myriad of the practical medical uses of Botulinum Toxin (Botox®) which means the potential for additional, new lucrative procedures for your practice.

The 1-Day Botox Course will encompass the most common of the facial areas and popular medical uses for the Botulinum Toxin. The facial areas include all areas of the face including the most popular (3) areas of the upper face where discretion for dosing and injection sites are taught. In addition, you will learn injection sites for the lower 2/3 of the face for such injections as dimpled chin, marionette lines, sad smile, bunny lines, vertical lip rhytids, and platysma bands. The medical protocols include bruxism, hyperhidrosis, tension migraine headaches, and other orofacial pain disorders.

Injection Male vs Female - AAOPM

Physician Supervised Live Hands-on Botox Training

Botox Injection for Lateral Canthal Rhytids

Our Botox class will feature sample products from the various medical distributors on site (including the newer Xeomin© and Dysport™) for use during the training, so that you may decide for yourself which of the various types of Botulinum Toxin best suit your practice. Attendees to the Botox training will also become experts in the handling and storage of Botulinum Toxin (Botox®) so that it can be safely stored and administered within your own practice.

The schedule for the programs on Botox Training, Dermal Filler Training and Facial Aesthetics Training are held over consecutive days, so that you can learn each of these valuable methodologies over one weekend. This program is available to physicians, nurses, dentists, and other licensed healthcare professionals and continuing medical education credits are available through your certification from AAOPM.

Professional board-certified specialists and additional instructors will be on hand to conduct all Botox® training and education. A favorite instructor to the AAOPM for over 5 years, William McMunn, DDS, MD, consistently receives excellent evaluations from the attendees due to his proficiency, patience, and understanding shown toward all attendees; he has helped many students achieve proficiency in the new procedures.

Please note that these are full service Botox classes and encumber all materials (i.e. manuals, forms/consents, medicines, and physician portal access). The Certificate of Completion and Board Certification given to the attendees is contingent upon participants’ administering of Botulinum Toxin (Botox®) on live patients. The key word to remember during this Botox® Certification program is “comprehensive” medical seminar.

As far as the Cosmetic Applications to Botox Treatments, nothing is left for you to learn on your own. Every useful clinical pearl that our instructors have encountered in their years in clinical practice will be shared with you. These clinical pearls actually comprise a significant portion of the morning lectures and cover such areas as Male vs. Female differences and treatment options with the FDA Approved Botulinum Toxin products, correcting poor results from another practitioner’s poor technique and other possible adverse results or pre-existing asymmetries, learn how to maximize your treatment results when your patient has budget restraints thus limiting the amount of Botox you can use, learn unique techniques that your patient will remember only you can perform as well as the consultation process for the aesthetic patient. Marketing, pricing and packaging, and other promotion strategies are discussed and given for attendees, learn how to develop patient loyalty to ensure your patient always returns to you, Injection techniques are shown and taught to eliminate discomfort and apprehension in your patient not only returns in 3 months but brings 2 additional friends through a patient referral program. Promotion considerations are given as to how legally, effectively, and consistently attract patients to your practice by offering reward programs, customer appreciation events, or educational open houses VIP patients. Prior attendees have commented that the Botox Training Course is extremely thorough and helped them to immediately begin implementing these new procedures into their practice.

Hands-On Training: The 1-Day Botox Training is not a demonstration course but requires attendees to perform these aesthetic procedures on live patients (volunteers). Our Board-Certified Physicians will supervise and direct attendees during the hands-on session and is necessary for your certification. The hands-on portion of the training will commence after the didactic portion of the program and we have allocated a large portion of the program for you to gain the practical knowledge of these injections and improve your injection technique and skills.

Comprehensive Lecture, Course Materials, Training Manual, Treatment Forms

During the morning sessions you will be provided with comprehensive presentations in the evaluation and treatment of the Cosmetic Patient using Cosmetic Botox. These presentations not only prepare you to safely and effectively perform the techniques on your patient but also prepare you to gain the knowledge to pass your board certification examination, if this pathway is desired. You will be provided with extensive didactic training that makes use of written materials you can reference at a later time. This way, physicians, nurses, dentists and other licensed medical professionals who attend our Botox® class will have a firm grounding in both the theoretical background and practical application of Botox.

Hands On Live Patient Training

All attendees will receive extensive hands-on training. The class is entirely dedicated to instruction in the actual procedures in order for attendees to perfect their technique. Our instructors begin their teaching by using custom fabricated models that students can use to perfect their technique before injecting on live patients. After these exercises, students will perform a variety of Botox injections on volunteers. Attendees will practice performing such techniques as indicated to treat Forehead Rhytids, Crows Feet, Glabellar Rhytids, Gummy Smile, Sad Smile, Platysmal Bands, axillary injections for volunteers suffering from Hyperhidrosis, and last but not least the ever popular “Liquid Face Lift”. Students complete the training and receive their certification upon satisfactory demonstration of the various techniques and when the attendee has gained a level of confidence as well.

Should you wish to, you may bring along your own test patient (i.e. spouse, colleague, etc) or yourself to receive a free Botulinum Toxin (Botox®) treatment during the hands-on session.

Create a following of ongoing Botox Patients: This instruction is very complete in the business and marketing applications as well. We review in detail how to price and package the different Botox techniques, how to develop a following of loyal patients, and how to personalize your treatments so your patients to only want to see you for their Botox injection. Our goal is for you not only to develop the confidence and proficiency in performing each Botox procedure but also to fully understand how to develop a large following of loyal patients who will refer their friends and family for additional treatments.

Join the thousands of physicians who have successfully integrated these easy-to-perform, safe non-surgical aesthetic procedures within their practice. Botulinum Toxin treatments are the foundation of many medical practices to start offering these lucrative cash basis procedures within a practice setting.

Return on Investment (ROI) for Botox Injection Treatments: A Lucrative Procedure

Botox injections have skyrocketed in demand, becoming one of the most sought-after aesthetic procedures worldwide. For licensed healthcare professionals like physicians, dentists, and nurses, offering Botox treatments can yield an incredible return on investment (ROI), transforming your practice into a revenue-generating powerhouse. Here's why Botox injections are a must-have service for any professional in the aesthetics industry:

  • Low Cost, High Margin: The average cost of a Botox vial is around $400, and it typically contains 100 units. Most treatments only require 20-30 units per session, meaning one vial can be used for 3-5 patients. With Botox treatments priced between $400 to $800 per session, the ROI per vial can reach up to 500%. That’s an astounding profit margin, where a single vial could generate $2,400 in revenue with an initial cost of only $400!
  • Rapid Procedure, High Volume: A Botox injection takes about 10-15 minutes to administer, meaning you can see up to 6-8 patients in an hour. If each treatment averages $500, in just one hour, you could generate $3,000 to $4,000 in revenue. In a single 8-hour day, Botox alone could potentially bring in $24,000 or more, all while maintaining a steady flow of high-satisfaction patients.
  • Repeat Business and Long-Term Loyalty: Botox is not a one-time treatment. Patients typically return every 3-4 months for maintenance, creating a reliable stream of recurring revenue. With the average patient needing 3 treatments a year, each individual represents thousands of dollars in annual revenue. Multiply that across a growing client base, and you can see how quickly the revenue adds up.
  • Minimal Overhead and Set-Up Costs: Unlike other complex procedures that require expensive equipment or significant space, Botox requires minimal investment. The primary costs are the Botox vials themselves and some basic injection supplies, meaning your initial set-up costs are extremely low while yielding high profits per treatment.
  • Expanding Patient Demographic: The patient base for Botox is expanding rapidly, with both men and women from their late 20s to 60s seeking treatment. Botox is not limited to just aesthetics either. Many professionals are offering Botox for therapeutic uses, such as treating migraines, TMJ, and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), further expanding your potential patient base and revenue streams.
  • Boost Your Practice's Overall Profitability: Botox can serve as an entry point for patients seeking additional aesthetic treatments. Once patients trust you for Botox, they are more likely to explore other high-revenue services you offer, such as dermal fillers, PRP treatments, and laser therapy, amplifying the overall value of each patient to your practice.

Incorporating Botox into your practice isn't just a way to meet patient demand—it's a highly lucrative opportunity that can exponentially grow your income with minimal costs and effort. Whether you're a physician, dentist, or nurse, adding Botox to your services can revolutionize your practice and significantly boost your bottom line. Now is the perfect time to start offering this high-demand procedure and reap the rewards of this booming industry.
