Botox Training - Atlanta, GA

The Atlanta Complete Botox® Training program combines didactic lectures and hands-on training, supplying participants with a comprehensive education on aesthetic procedures.

The course first teaches you about botulinum toxin Type-A and how it's utilized for cosmetic treatments. When your training has concluded, you will also know the correct way to administer both basic and advanced Botox treatments and how to conduct other facial aesthetic procedures like dermal fillers.

Board-certified physicians lead all of our classes. These experts, leaders in their field and with their own practice, possess many years of experience when it comes to all things Botox. As part of your hands-on practice, they will supply step-by-step guidance as you treat facial rhytids on real volunteer patients. Once the supervising physicians have approved the Botox administrations, you will help patients with everything from glabellar lines to crow's feet.

By learning under the distinguished team at Empire Medical Training, you gain the ability and confidence to perform Botox, dermal fillers, and various other facial aesthetic procedures. Upon completion of the program, you also receive 8 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ hours.

Attend our Atlanta area Complete Botox® Training program, and you will learn:

• Basic facial anatomy and key Botox injection sites
• The differences between botulinum toxin Type-A products (such as Botox®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau®). For those interested in getting the most from the course training, we have conveniently scheduled the Dermal Filler Training program in the afternoon.

Are you a healthcare practitioner? Do you work as a nurse, nurse practitioner, dentist, physician, or in another medical-related role? If you've answered 'yes', and you plan to offer aesthetic services to your patients, this event is for you.

This is particularly the case if you reside in Atlanta, Marietta, Alpharetta, Lawrenceville, Athens, Rome, Macon, or another Georgia area. However, we welcome participants from all across the country, and our host hotel's close proximity to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport makes traveling a breeze.

Your patients deserve the best. With our expert training, you can provide them with the finest and most effective cosmetic treatments.

Before you can become certified in administering Botox® injections and acquire your 8-hour AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™, you must complete all necessary prerequisite instructional materials. Furthermore, before the in-person portion of your training, you must successfully pass a knowledge-based test.

All pre-course materials and supplements are on EMT's state-of-the-art online portal. These materials cover important topics such as in-depth protocols and complication avoidance. For added convenience, videos also make up the prerequisite materials. Engaging, professionally shot, and viewable on all suitable devices, these videos offer an effective method to amplify your learning.

Is your schedule not flexible enough to complete the entire training weekend in person? An alternative route is to complete the training's didactic requirements via our live virtual program. You can then attend a future Atlanta hands-on course for a day, allowing you to gain your Botox and dermal filler certifications.

Color Training Manual & Videos

The EMT educational portal features a comprehensive color training manual that you need to review in full, along with videos. These supplements deliver essential information about Botox treatments, including:

• Key characteristics and handling (including dilution, reconstitution, and storage) of botulinum toxin Type-A products
• Important facial anatomy concepts, including zones of adherence, facial contraindications, and correcting complications and adverse events

How to Get Here

Are you traveling to The Westin Buckhead Atlanta from outside the state? If so, your journey will most likely go through the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The good news: the hotel is only 20 minutes away by car from the airport.

To ensure the journey is seamless, here's how to reach The Westin Buckhead Atlanta from the airport.

From Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport

If driving isn't on the agenda, a one-way taxi fare will set you back approximately $40. You can also make use of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), a convenient and inexpensive method to get around the city – and journey to and from the airport.

If you decide to rent a vehicle, follow these driving directions when exiting the airport's Domestic Terminal:

• Out of the Domestic Terminal, get onto Interstate 85 North
• Continue on the I-85 North to Atlanta before exiting onto Georgia State Route 400 North
• Lenox Road is the first exit. Take this and then turn right, following the signs that indicate Peachtree Road South
• Take a right turn onto Peachtree Road
• At the second traffic light, turn left. The Westin Buckhead is on your right

Getting around Atlanta

While you might enjoy the freedom of getting around by yourself in a car, the aforementioned MARTA system is a recommended alternative. It is a quick and easy option that costs as little as $2.50 for a single trip, and you can load up a MARTA Breeze card with as many trips or day passes as you need. These trains run until 1:00 am on weekends.

Atlanta places a heavy emphasis on public transport, which means getting around by train, bus, and streetcar is convenient and affordable. The streetcar makes a 2.7-mile loop, stopping at 12 different spots along the way, and offers direct connections to other services such as MARTA. They run every 10-15 minutes on average between 6:00 am to 11:00 pm Monday to Thursday, and 8.30 am till 1:00 am on Saturdays. You can see their timetable on their website, but you should find it easy to get around using this mode of transport. Prices range from $1 to $3.

The Westin Buckhead also provides a complimentary hotel car service. In operation from 7:00 am until 11:00 pm, it will take you to any destination within a two-mile radius. Just keep in mind, this service is only available on a first-come, first-serve basis!
