Local options exist. Here's why providers from Albuquerque — and every major city in the country — choose to make the trip.
IAPAM training takes place inside a working cosmetic dermatology practice in Scottsdale — not a conference room. The technique you learn on a medical treatment table is the technique you'll use on your patients.
Many programs use undisclosed instructors. Every IAPAM injection lab is led by a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist — true experts of the skin who have performed thousands of injections.
Botox®, fillers, lasers, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion — all in one accelerated program. Competitors charge separately for each. You leave ready to offer all five.
Earn up to 33.5 AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs over 4 days. Most single-day competitors offer 8. All nursing boards accept IAPAM attendance CMEs as equivalent CE credits.
Injection labs are capped at 7 participants. You'll perform multiple injections on a live model, and benefit from observing other injectors on their model because no two patients have the same musculature.
The optional Monday business day covers practice startup, pricing, marketing, and the Successful Aesthetic Practice System™ — the business course they never taught you in medical school.
Five of the most in-demand aesthetic procedures — taught together so you leave with a complete, profitable practice foundation.
Facial anatomy, neuromodulator pharmacology, Botox®/Dysport®/Xeomin®/Jeuveau® techniques, upper and lower face injection protocols, hyaluronic acid fillers, and complication management.
Two of the most requested add-on services. Patient selection, peel depth, post-care protocols, and microdermabrasion technique — hands-on with live patients.
IPL/laser technology, hair removal, skin rejuvenation, body sculpting, and tattoo removal. Hands-on laser workshop included in the 2-day and above programs.
Semaglutide, tirzepatide, Clean Start Weight Loss®, patient adherence, and the business of running a weight management program. Included in the 4-day and 3-day Aesthetics + Weight Mgmt packages.
Practice startup, pricing strategy, marketing, and the Successful Aesthetic Practice System™. Included in the 4-day and 3-day Aesthetics + Business packages.

Local options are growing, but most use hotel ballrooms and undisclosed instructors. IAPAM training takes place inside a working cosmetic dermatology clinic, led by board-certified dermatologists.
