The whole Aesthetic Medicine Symposium was better than expected. I gained the confidence to start a practice I’ve been contemplating for years.

"Such an awesome helpful informative symposium. I plan on having my staff attend this symposium before I open my practice."

"This weekend has opened more doors for me in 4-days than working in a hospital has in the last 15 years. Trust me, if you are thinking about signing up for this conference, spend the money. Do it! Go! What you will get is invaluable."

”Beyond what I expected!!! The hands on workshop was great. Providers answered questions and took time to relate anatomy/physiology relation.”

Top 5 Reasons to Train with the IAPAM

Reason #1 :

Your will learn from true experts of the skin. We are the only Aesthetic Medicine training program available that has three board certified cosmetic dermatologists on their teaching faculty (and we actually list them on our website!).

Reason #2 :

Your hands-on cosmetic injectable (Xeomin®, Dysport®, Botox®) training is done in a clean medical spa or medical practice, not in a hotel room chair.

Also included is a tour of a successful aesthetic practice, which will give you a first hand look on how to setup an aesthetic practice within a medical practice or start a standalone medical spa.

Reason #3 :

You will actually learn everything you need to know to succeed. Our aesthetic medicine conference shows you exactly what you need to do in order to succeed in aesthetic medicine.

We cover 4 aesthetic medicine practice areas: cosmetic injectables, laser/light, skin care (cosmeceuticals & chemical peels), along with the required business skills.

Without knowledge of all 4 areas, you will not make any significant money in the aesthetic medicine industry.

Reason #4 :

You will receive both enduring and on-going practice support. It is very important that you have continuing support in order to be successful.

Reason #5 :

As an IAPAM member you also get many benefits: monthly newsletter with the latest industry news, medmal insurance program, discounts for equipment (i.e. $25,000+ off lasers, discounts on microdermabrasion machines), EMR software discounts (Electronic Medical Record) and additional hands-on training programs (Advanced Botox® and Fillers).

Botox® and Other Aesthetic Procedures Make Patients Happy

Offering treatments that make your patients feel better about the way they look can build long-term loyalty and trust. We know that Botox® is not a profitable procedure by itself, and neither is it a comprehensive aesthetic treatment.

You’ll find your patients also want help with other aesthetic concerns including: sun/age spots, deep wrinkles, excessive tattoos, melasma, acne, excessive hair growth, weight loss, and other requests.

That’s why we not only cover hands-on Botox® training, but we also cover the “Top 5” minimally invasive aesthetic procedures during this accelerated aesthetic medicine program.

Botox® is a trademark of Allergan.
