Botox Training - Minneapolis, MN

Planning Your Visit

The Marquette Hotel, part of the Curio Collection by Hilton, offers a modern, comfortable setting for professional development in the heart of Minneapolis, MN.

Workshop Prerequisites

Before attending our Naples training course, the 8-hour AMA PRS Category 1 Credit certification prerequisite instructional materials must be completed. The good news is that once signed up, all didactic information is available on Empire's state-of-the-art online portal. These materials include thorough protocols and complication avoidance.

You also gain access to our exclusive video content. Accessible via multiple devices, these videos provide a more engaging, creative way to learn. They can also help you pass our short knowledge test, something you need to do prior to making your way to Naples.

If there's a gap in your schedule before the training weekend, you can also get in further preparation by completing our live virtual training course.

Color Training Manual & Videos

EMT's training manual and videos have to be downloaded and reviewed before you attend our course. Accessible through our educational portal, the comprehensive color training manual features a large assortment of information pertaining to your Botox® training, including:

• The patient consultation process, including communicating the expected results of Botox treatments, making facial/head/neck markings, and injection/treatment techniques aligned with patient goals
• Key characteristics and handling (including dilution, reconstitution, and storage) of botulinum toxin Type-A products
• Key facial anatomy concepts, including facial contraindications, zones of adherence, and correcting complications and adverse events

In addition, the manual offers a detailed overview of the following Botox treatments, including indications for treatment, correct injection techniques, and accepted practices:

• Glabellar complex area
• Lateral canthal rhytids
• Forehead lines
• Medial and lateral brow (lift)
• Gummy smile
• Dimpled chin
• Marionette lines
• Platysma banding
• Bruxism
• Migraine
• Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the palms and underarms)

Additional Aesthetic Procedures and Advanced Injection Techniques

We are also pleased to include an additional video collection as part of your course materials along with all of the above. The videos, which detail additional aesthetic procedures and advanced injection techniques, are supplied at no extra cost. Plus, just like the rest of the educational materials included in our extensive library, they can be used long after your course in Naples is over.

Making use of these materials is highly recommended. To develop a superior aesthetic practice, learning about further techniques and procedures is an integral aspect of your clinical studies.

The Naples Complete Botox® Training, Dermal Filler, and Facial Aesthetics program is highly accredited. This is achieved by planning and implementing the program to meet the requirements and policies set by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education.

To achieve our mission of training the aesthetic professionals of the future, we are happy to provide our training course alongside the Medical Education Resources.

The MER also designated the 8.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ awarded upon completion of our Naples course. Note: only claim the credit commensurate after participating in the hands-on portion of the training.

MER is also an accredited supplier of continuing nursing education via the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation. Upon successfully finishing our program, those in the nursing field will earn 8.0 contact hours towards their continuing nursing education.

Accreditation Details

How do I become Certified to perform Botox Injections?

You need to enroll in and successfully complete training in an accredited and approved Botox Certification Course (be careful, most are not!). Empire Medical Training has certified more physicians and nurses in Botox administration than any other organization in the US or abroad! In the past 26+ years, Empire has graduated over health care professionals and has been awarded the highest level of CME accreditation for its Botox Certification Courses, the AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.

The certification process begins with an intensive didactic presentation, including protocols, guidelines, manufacturer recommendations, and Pearls from Empire’s outstanding “Celebrity” Physician instructors. After the Hands-on training on live patients, applicants will be expected to demonstrate proficiency in a variety of Botox techniques followed by knowledge testing. At the conclusion of the Allergan Botox® Training program, attendees who have completed all aspects of the training and passed the proficiency exam will be awarded their Botox Certification.
