We're happy to announce a new partner for Medical Spa MD, the American Society of Aesthetic Medical Professionals.

The American Society of Aesthetic Medical Professionals was founded by plastic surgeon Dr. Marc Scheiner and runs a number of Botox and filler injection training seminars, generally in the North East. Their training courses are attended by physicians, dentists, nurses, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners who are interested in adding Botox and fillers to their practice. You can find their main site here and view their upcoming course dates and registration page.

Their training training courses take place over 2 days. The first day of training is dedicated to Botulinum Toxin injections and the second day to dermal fillers. You may choose to attend one or both days of the course.

Here's some info about the course from the ASAMP site:

The courses assume you have no experience in aesthetic medicine and are designed to educate you in the evaluation and treatment of facial ageing using Botulinum Toxin and dermal fillers. You will be trained to inject Botulinum Toxin and dermal fillers with an experienced plastic surgeon. Participants in the certification courses will inject actual undiluted Botulinum Toxin and Dermal Fillers. You will find that many training programs use diluted Botulinum Toxin or normal saline. We will maximize your learning experience by replicating an actual client encounter using the correct product and live models. This is a hands-on course and you will be required to inject the products using a model that you bring.

After participating in many different training seminars it has become apparent that the most effective way to teach cosmetic injections is to have the participants provide their own models. Previous experience teaching injection methods using volunteer models has been unsatisfactory as often the models only want 1 or 2 areas treated. This leaves the participant without hands-on training in all areas. Furthermore, it is beneficial to the injector to actually see the results of his/her treatments in the weeks following the treatments. With a volunteer model, the participant will likely never see them again. Finding a model to inject Botulinum Toxin and dermal fillers requires you to simply bring a spouse, friend, brother, sister, mother, employee, or any other willing participant.

At the completion of your Botulinum Toxin and Dermal Filler training you will have the tools, as well as the confidence, to begin injecting Botulinum Toxin and Dermal Fillers on the day you return to your practice. In addition, as mentioned above, your course fee includes 12 months of complimentary telephone and/or e-mail support. If at the conclusion of your training, you feel that you are not able to begin injecting Botulinum Toxin or Dermal Fillers, you can repeat the course at no cost**. As you can see, our goal is to not only give you the absolute highest level of training but to provide you with on-going support as you begin to grow your aesthetic practice

There's always been a tremendous interest in training courses on Medspa MD. We hope that the inclusion of ASAMP and Botox Training MD will bring a valued asset to the commuity.
