$395 • 5 CMEs
Upgrade to Cosmetic Injectables later — pay the $200 difference only.
Learn More →Botox® + Fillers
Botox® and dermal fillers with 25+ procedural videos. The most common starting point for providers who want to offer a full injectable menu from day one.

Once you’re seeing patients, CAP gives you a documented, annually-renewed credential that shows your training stays current — not something you completed once and set aside. Covers advanced injectables, lasers, peels, PRP, and new courses as they launch. Listed publicly on CertifiedMedicalProviders.com.

4 days of hands-on Botox®, filler, laser, and aesthetic medicine training in Scottsdale, AZ. Supervised injection practice on live models. Held multiple times per year.
Next dates: September 18–21, 2025 • Scottsdale, AZ

It was a very user-friendly program. I had to start and stop many times over several days. It always took me back to where I’d left off.
