Botulinum Toxins & Dermal Fillers Level I
What You’ll Learn
Welcome to AAFE’s Level I Foundational Botulinum Toxin and Dermal Fillers Live Patient Training Courses. The most popular introductory injector course for dentists, physicians, Nurses and PA’s.
During the live, hands-on training you’ll learn all of AAFE’s foundational total facial esthetics treatment techniques using neurotoxins and dermal fillers. Attendees can take the Level 1 course as a standalone offering. However, many students choose to take the course in conjunction with either the Level 1 Dermal Filler course or the Frontline TMJ Course (where available).
Make the most of your time and investment by doubling up on these training sessions to expand your practice offerings. See the full course descriptions below!
AAFE attendees who take this course will be trained in injectable safety protocols and anatomically based techniques. Add these valuable services to your practice and give your patients the best esthetic and therapeutic treatment outcomes.
