Botox Training - Seattle, WA

Combining didactic lectures (classroom learning) with hands-on training is what our Seattle Complete Botox® Training program consists of.

The Botox training program provides the fundamentals of botulinum toxin Type-A and cosmetic indications for its use. You’ll leave the lecture hall with the knowledge you need to administer all common and not-so-common procedures involving Botox and to perform other common facial esthetics techniques. This course is approved for 8 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ hours. 

Our hybrid training with physician-supervised (board-certified top-tier physician experts only) includes hands-on practice with live volunteer patients. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to administer Botox to patients presenting with a variety of common facial rhytids such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, glabellar lines, or other aesthetic signs and complaints (subject to review by our supervising physicians). 

Our expert board-certified physician instructors will guide you through the procedure and provide helpful feedback that you can take back to your practice. All of our physicians are practice owners (making them top-tier renowned physicians) with years of Botox injection experience.

During the weekend, practitioners will learn about Botox injections and how to perform other aesthetic procedures such as dermal fillers and facial aesthetic procedures. All programs are AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ accredited. You’ll have the confidence and capability to perform a broader range of cosmetic procedures using techniques you won’t learn anywhere else, all under the direct supervision and instruction of Empire’s highly recognized team of physician instructors. You will incorporate these newly learned and high-demand procedures to your Washington aesthetics practice and the people who matter most — your patients.

• Basic facial anatomy and key Botox injection sites
• The differences between the 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.
