2-Day Botox & Filler Hands-On Training

Hands-on injectable certification for nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, physicians, and dentists. Walk in ready to learn. Walk out ready to inject.

Course Overview

Most injectable courses give you a binder and a few hours of observation. This one is built differently. Our 2-Day Botox & Filler Training pairs morning classroom sessions with afternoon hands-on practice—every single day—so the science sticks and the technique becomes second nature.

You will spend Day One focused entirely on neurotoxins: how they work at the molecular level, proper reconstitution and dosing, facial anatomy that matters for safe placement, and patient consultation strategies that set expectations correctly. After lunch, you pick up a syringe and treat live models under direct supervision.

Day Two shifts to dermal fillers. Morning lectures cover hyaluronic acid versus non-HA products, facial proportions, injection mapping, and complication management—including vascular occlusion protocols you need before you ever touch a patient on your own. The afternoon session puts you in front of live models again, working on lips, cheeks, chin contouring, and nasolabial folds with an experienced injector at your side.

Class sizes stay small on purpose. You are here to learn, not to watch someone else learn from across the room.

What You Will Learn

Day 1 – Botox Mastery

Morning Session: Classroom & Theory

Before you touch a syringe, you need to understand what you are putting into someone’s face and why. The morning block covers the pharmacology of botulinum toxin—mechanism of action, onset timelines, duration of effect, and the reconstitution ratios that separate consistent results from guesswork. You will study the muscles of facial expression in detail: where they originate, where they insert, how they pull, and what happens when you weaken one without accounting for its neighbors.

From there, the curriculum moves into patient assessment. Not every forehead needs the same number of units, and not every patient wants the same outcome. You will learn how to evaluate muscle strength, skin quality, and facial asymmetry during a consultation—and how to set realistic expectations so patients trust you and come back.

Afternoon Session: Live Injection Training

Under direct supervision from an experienced injector, you will treat live models in the following areas:

  • Forehead lines – smoothing horizontal creases while preserving natural movement and brow position
  • Glabellar complex (frown lines) – softening the vertical lines between the brows without creating a heavy or dropped look
  • Crow’s feet – refreshing the outer eye area with precise, conservative dosing

Day 2 – Dermal Filler Techniques

Morning Session: Classroom & Theory

Fillers demand a different kind of knowledge than neurotoxins. Day Two’s morning session starts with the science of dermal fillers: the difference between hyaluronic acid products and non-HA options, how cross-linking affects longevity and firmness, and which product belongs in which layer of the face.

Facial proportions and balancing techniques take center stage next. Great filler work is invisible—it restores what time has taken away without making someone look “done.” You will learn to assess volume loss, identify structural support that has shifted, and plan treatments that respect each patient’s unique anatomy.

Complication management is covered in depth. Vascular occlusion is the complication every injector fears, and you will leave this session knowing how to recognize it early, what to do in the first sixty seconds, and how to stock your emergency kit correctly.

Afternoon Session: Live Injection Training

  • Lip augmentation – shaping, defining the border, and adding volume that looks and feels natural
  • Cheek restoration – rebuilding midface volume for a lifted, youthful contour
  • Chin sculpting – improving profile balance and lower-face definition
  • Nasolabial folds – softening deep smile lines without overfilling or creating an unnatural look

Your instructor is right beside you—correcting hand position, adjusting depth, and answering every question in real time.
