Frequently Asked Questions

Is This A Certified Course?

Botox®/Dysport® and Dermal Filler injection is not currently limited to a board specialty in medicine. Any physician may learn and inject Botox®/Dysport® and Dermal Fillers into patients under the scope of their practice. Therefore, there is no “Board Certifying” for this procedure in the USA. You will receive a Certification of Completion that is recognized by the vendors and malpractice insurance companies.

Some states have passed legislations regarding the specific types of training. We recommend that you contact your state licensing board to ensure that our training meets your state’s requirements. Mid-level providers should contact their states as there are various laws regarding supervision of this procedure that your state may require of you.

Will I Receive A Training Certificate?

Yes. You will receive a training certificate after you view the online training material that you will be able to download from your computer.

Can I Get CME Credit For This Course?

Yes, you can. According to the AMA, “Participation in activities that have not been certified for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™” is a AMA PRA Category 2. The course at Cosmetic Medical Training is currently not an AMA PRA Category 1 course.

According to the AMA policy:

Fillers come in a one-time use syringe that can only be injected in one patient, which costs around $250. Fillers can be used in more than one area depending on the level of correction. Total recommend purchase = 2 Botox® vials at $600 per vial and 4 Fillers syringes at $250 per syringe)

Who Is Able To Take The Hands-On Training?

We only train Physicians (MD/DO), Dentists (DMD), Nurse Practitioners (NP), Physician Assistants (PA), and Nurses (RN).

Are Models Provided?

We ask that you use your staff, friends and family to become models for you. In select cities, we have a list of models that we can contact to see if they are able to come to your office. However, we find that most models prefer to stay local and we are unable to rely on them to be your model for your training.

How Do I Get Models?

Ask your staff, friends and family members to be models for your injection. We have been teaching Botox®/Dysport® and Dermal Fillers injection training since 2006. You can reassure your acquaintances that we have not had any MAJOR complications from any of the models. If your training starts at 10am, you’ll want to schedule the first model at 10am and then schedule each one every 45 minutes. The first hour of the course will be spent going over all of the course material with the trainer.

What Are Models Charged?

Your office is required to purchase the products (Botox & Juvederm) ahead of the training course. Your office may charge your models a fee to pay for the cost of products used on them or charge nothing. This depends on your desires.

Below is a sample pricing fee to charge your models for the cost of the products used:
1 area of Botox®/Dysport® ~ $100
1 syringe of Restylane or Juvederm Filler (lasts ~ 4-6 months) ~ $250.

What If I Want To Pay For My Models The Cost Of The Products?

Then you should discuss with the trainer how many products that you should purchase before your training. Here are the typical prices with the vendors:

Botox®: 1 vial = $600 (can treat up to 5 areas).

Restylane or Juvederm: 1 syringe = $250 (can treat only 1 patient).
