Botox Training - Philadelphia, PA

With its combination of classroom learning and hands-on workshops, the Philadelphia Complete Botox® Training event is the ideal place to gain a complete education in aesthetic treatments.

The curriculum focuses on botulinum toxin Type-A, the way it functions, and how it is used for Botox injections. You also learn about basic and advanced Botox techniques, how to administer injections, and how to complete procedures safely.

While the didactic lectures are an effective way to learn, the hands-on training is an essential part of the process. You’ll be taught, step-by-step, by our board-certified instructors. These experts, all clinic owners with years of Botox experience, will teach you the proper techniques, offer in-depth feedback, and answer any inquiries you may have. Working with volunteer patients, you’ll also deal with an assortment of facial rhytids, ranging from dimpled chin to crow’s feet.

With the “Complete Botox Training” name, it is understandable which treatment type has the main focus. However, the two other program workshops boost your education for dermal fillers and other facial aesthetic treatments. By expanding into other areas, you can offer more services for patients.

Furthermore, once you have completed the training weekend, you are rewarded with an eight-hour 8 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.

Attend our Philadelphia 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. This course will teach Dermal Filler products (such as Restylane®, Juvederm®, and Radiesse®, Belotero®, and more)
• Specific techniques and methods for injecting Botox procedures 
• The mechanism of action for each type of medication and formulation
• How to identify ideal candidates for Botox treatments and exclude unsuitable candidates (such as those with medical contraindications)

With the event in Philadelphia, it is ideal for those based in the city or nearby areas such as Wilmington, Allentown, Cherry Hill, Vineland, Lancaster, and New York. However, with Philadelphia being one of the most connected cities in the United States, it’s also a suitable destination for those visiting from further afield.

Additional Aesthetic Procedures and Advanced Injection Techniques

It places a strong emphasis on teaching participants about other facial aesthetic procedures – such as dermal fillers. With this expanded knowledge, your practice can ultimately provide more services for patients.

To meet the policies and demands of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education, the program’s workshops – Complete Botox Training, Dermal Filler, and Facial Aesthetics – were put together with incredible care and attention. By going to these lengths, we are able to provide 8.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ to those that complete the program. The awarding of these credits is possible due to our association with the ACCME-accredited Medication Education Resources.

How to Get Here

Thanks to its location right in the heart of Philadelphia, you won’t struggle to find or reach the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown. It’s also less than ten miles from Philadelphia International Airport, which means you can get out of the airport and at the hotel within 20 minutes by car.

From Philadelphia International Airport

If you rent a car from Philadelphia International Airport, here’s how to get to the hotel without any issue – other than potential traffic!

• Exit the airport and drive onto Interstate 95 South to Exit 22
• Continue the journey on Highway 676 West, going until you reach the Broad Street Exit
• Get onto 15th street and continue for half a block until you reach Spring Street
• On Spring Street, turn right and continue for one block, taking a right turn onto 16th Street
• Travel a further quarter-block, and you will see the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown on your left

If a rental car is not on the agenda, there are alternative methods for getting to the hotel and around the city. A one-way taxi to the hotel will only set you back $25 approximately. The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), ranking as one of the top ten in the nation’s best, also supplies a train service that takes you directly from the airport to the city center. You are then within comfortable walking distance of the hotel.

Getting around Philadelphia

When the time comes to travel in and around Philadelphia, taxis are available 24 hours a day, but cycling is another option for you. Philadelphia is among the best places to ride a bike because it is so bike-friendly. There are more than 440 miles of bike-only lanes, and you can easily rent bikes at 140 stations across the city. Simply jump off the SEPTA train and hire a bike to get you where you need to go. Tickets for a SEPTA day pass cost around $2.50. The subway trains will operate on a 24-hour basis while the other modes of transport will vary slightly with, on average, a 15-minute wait for the next bus, train, or trolley to arrive at their stop.

• Schuylkill River Trail: While it’s technically not just Philadelphia that benefits from this attraction, the Schuylkill River Trail – a multi-use path that currently extends 30 miles – is worth a mention. Meandering along Schuylkill River, there’s no better trail to go for a walk, jog, or bike ride in Philly.

A haven of history and culture, Philadelphia is the place if you love a museum or two. Yet there are loads of other attractions for those seeking a more exhilarating experience:
