Many healthcare providers are now interested in adding aesthetic and medical Botox to their repertoire. However, Botox requires far more than just injection skills. Our faculty is ready to lead you through the basics, complications, and any other questions you may have regarding Botox and providing such a service. Topics covered will include:
This hands-on program covers Botox cosmetic and medical applications including frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines. Medical applications include migraine, cervical dystonia, hyperhydroisis, and spasticity.
Realistic soft silicone and rubber models will be used extensively to facilitate learning, improve procedural skill and enhance confidence. You have unlimited injection practice on models you shared only with yourself. You are encouraged to bring these silicone models home to practice even more, and right before your first real patient. Further, we use real Botox for practice injections* in addition to saline injection practice on silicone models for all our programs.
The second workshop covers joint, nerve, and muscle blocks, and ultrasound use.
Throughout the course, relevant anatomy of joint, bursa, muscle and nerve are reviewed. Injection techniques require the correct selection of an anatomical path that offers an easy access yet minimizes damage of the surrounding tissue. In this regard, every injection is different.
Additionally, indication selection and complication management are emphasized. Classic cases will be reviewed to understand how to properly select patients. Prevention is the best strategy for complications. We will review how to manage them when they occur.
Proprietary, silicone and rubber models will be used extensively to facilitate learning and improve procedural skill. The models are made with varied levels of technical difficulties to help learner familiarizing real life scenarios. We encourage hands on practice many times.
For ultrasound practice, we emphasize office based applications including joint, bursa, muscle, and nerve evaluation and US guided injection. US offers real time image visualization of anatomical structures with and without motion. Lesions with common painful conditions such as tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, trochanteric bursitis can all be visualized with US. The US image guidance is particularly helpful for medium and small joint access. It increases accuracy and minimize joint injury from poor localization.
Upon completion of the course, attendees will be equipped with injection and ultrasonography skills that can be readily applied to their clinical practice.
- The pharmacology of Botox, as a disease, as a drug, and as a mass casualty neurotoxin
- The tissues & organs it affects, the pathology, with correlation to clinical manifestation
- Where to inject based on facial anatomy, skin and muscle layers
- How to inject to maximize toxin effects and minimize dosage
- How to avoid waste from improper reconstitution and needle techniques
- How to recognize, minimize, and treat complications with medications
- The expanding indications of Botulinum toxin for common medical and cosmetic conditions
- How to foster a viable business model on Botulinum toxin applications
- AND MORE!
