FAQ

Filler Training FAQ for Physicians

Common questions about dermal filler training for physicians.

Yes. Physicians (MD/DO) from all specialties can perform dermal filler injections. Your medical license provides full authority for aesthetic procedures regardless of your residency specialty. Family medicine, internal medicine, emergency medicine, OB/GYN, psychiatry, and all other specialties regularly add fillers to diversify their practice and increase revenue.
Physicians typically charge $600-900 per syringe of hyaluronic acid filler, with many patients requiring 1-3 syringes per treatment. Results last 6-18 months, creating recurring revenue as patients return for maintenance. With product costs of $200-400 per syringe, profit margins are excellent. Many physicians add $100,000+ annually by incorporating filler services into their practice.
Level 1 Dermal Filler Training focuses on nasolabial folds, marionette lines, oral commissures, and lower face volume loss—the foundational treatment areas for filler injectors. These areas allow you to start treating patients immediately while building competency. Lips, cheeks, tear troughs, chin, and jawline are covered in our Advanced Filler Training course.
You'll train with FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers including Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, and Revanesse Versa. The course covers filler science (G-prime, elasticity, cohesivity), product selection for different indications, and the differences between HA fillers and biostimulants like Sculptra and Radiesse. You'll understand which products work best for different treatment areas and patient goals.
Complication management is a critical component of our training. You'll learn to recognize vascular occlusion signs, administer hyaluronidase for HA filler reversal, manage bruising and swelling, address asymmetry, and handle patient concerns. As a physician, you have full authority to treat complications including prescribing medications as needed.
Yes! Many physicians take both courses on the same day—Botox in the morning and Dermal Fillers in the afternoon—for comprehensive injectable training. This allows you to offer full facial rejuvenation services combining wrinkle reduction (Botox) with volume restoration (fillers). We offer bundled pricing for combined certification.
