About the Workshop

Empire Medical Training's Complete PDO Thread Lifting 1-Day Course arrives in Atlanta, Georgia. A seminar for healthcare professionals and practitioners looking to offer better aesthetic procedures. A combination of evidence-based lectures and hands-on sessions, the event will take place at the Westin Peachtree Plaza  

Regarded by Plastic Surgeons as a substantial shift in Aesthetic Medicine, PDO Thread Face Lifting procedures are already becoming the number one sought non-surgical cosmetic procedure after Botox. Ideal for Health Care Practitioners, Physicians, Nurses, and Dentists, the PDO Thread Lift Training course is a vital addition to reshaping and renovating an otherwise outdated aesthetic practice.

Empire Medical Training’s PDO Thread Lift course is taught by nationally sought-after physician instructors. Attendees will learn to differentiate between the currently available thread products while they practice and perform PDO Thread Lift procedures in a safe and controlled environment.

The PDO Thread Lift Training course holds an AMA-accredited curriculum of 7.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit, planned in accordance with the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and the joint providership of Medical Educational Resources (MER)
