You may reserve one injection time for one patient; your second and third patients will be taken in rotation with the course.  If you choose not to bring a model patient, you may observe the hands-on portion of the course.You may also find a patient at the course.

Here are some tips for choosing a model patient for the Botox® Training course:

The facial areas that are ideal to treat with Botox® are: forehead lines when the patient makes a “surprised” expression, the frown lines between the eyes when the patient makes a “mad” facial expression and the “crow’s feet” lines at the corner of the eyes.

  • The model patient should have light to moderate lines- these are the best patients to train on.
  • If your patient has TMJ and/or bruxism, these areas will be addressed as well.
  • The patient should be healthy, with no active skin infections, and have a clean medical history.
  • Patients with neurological, autoimmune and immunological diseases are not ideal candidates, as well as people with long term systematic diseases.
  • Patients, who bruise easily, because of medications or other disease processes, may not be good candidates.
  • The model should not be needle phobic.
  • The model patient may have some swelling and/or bruising after treatment.  We recommend that the model patient not have any important life events occurring within two weeks of treatment.

Please review and share the following list of pre-operative instructions with each of your model patients.

Botox® for Cosmetic Pre-Treatment Instructions:

In an ideal situation, it is prudent to follow some simple guidelines before treatment that can make all the difference between a fair result and/or great result, by reducing some possible side effects associated with the injections.  We realize this is not always possible; however, minimizing these risks is always desirable.
  •  Avoid alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to treatment.  Alcohol may thin the blood which will increase the risk of bruising.
  • Avoid anti-inflammatory or blood thinning medications ideally, for a period of two weeks before treatment.  Medications and supplements such as Aspirin, Vitamin E, Gingko Biloba, St. John’s Wart, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, Vioxx, and other NSAIDS are all blood thinning and can increase the risk of bruising/swelling after injections.
  • Schedule Botox® appointment at least 2 weeks prior to a special event which may be occurring, i.e., wedding, vacation, etc.  It is not desirable to have a very special event occurring and be bruised from an injection which could have been avoided.

Every model patient must sign an informed consent prior to treatment. Consents will be provided at each course and there will be no exceptions.

We have the right to refuse treatment to any patient.

If you have any questions about your patient, please email Dr. Malcmacher at Drlouis@FacialEsthetics.org.

The facial areas that are ideal to treat with dermal fillers are the nasolabial folds (lines from the corner of the mouth to the corner of the nose), marionette lines (lines from the corner of the lips that go down the face toward the jaw line), and uplifting the corners of the lips. Lip augmentation may be done on a patient that would like to enhance the fullness of their lips.

  • The model patient should be easy to anesthetize and be able to tolerate local dental anesthesia.
  • The patient should be healthy, with no active skin infections, and have a clean medical history.
  • Patients with neurological, autoimmune and immunological diseases are not ideal candidates, as well as people with long term systematic diseases.
  • Patients, who bruise easily, because of medications or other disease processes, may not be good candidates.

  • Let us know if you are prone to cold sores- a pre-operative medication may help prevent cold sores after treatment.
  • If you develop a cold sore, blemish, or rash, etc. prior to your appointment, you must reschedule.
  • Discontinue Retin-A (2) two days before and (2) two days after treatment.
  • Avoid anti-inflammatory or blood thinning medications ideally, for a period of two weeks before treatment.  Medications and supplements such as Aspirin, Vitamin E, Gingko Biloba, St. John’s Wart, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, Vioxx, and other NSAIDS are all blood thinning and can increase the risk of bruising/swelling after injections.
