Any provider that says their course is the best for botulinum toxin training, and then you see it is a one-day course, it is not a good course.
No one, no doctor, dentist or plastic surgeon can gain competence on a one-day foundation course. We have lost count of the delegates that attend our training that has already done one, even two or more one-day courses only not to implement the training. A one-day foundation course is not training; it is an introduction.
Providing robust training with an outcome of confidence and competence is expensive and logistically challenging. Providing theory and practical training on a single day, logic alone dictates this is not a great deal of time to learn a new tactile skill with multiple indications. One-day botulinum toxin courses make providers a great deal of money; they are easy to run, low cost to host, and the reward is massive for the provider.
There is so much to learn apart from the tactile skill. Understanding patient needs, psychological drivers, and patient care. Protocols and dilution rates differ from brand to brand; effectiveness, and patient profile, are all components that go into an ethical training course. Patient physiology varies depending on age and lifestyle; all these things feed into product selection, technique and ultimately, the aesthetic outcome. It is not only impossible to be confident after injecting a bit of one face; it is wasting your time and money. We get a little hot under the collar with the state of medical aesthetic training as it is driven by medical professionals who should have a higher level of ethics.
The best Botox certification is where you finish the training course feeling confident, competent to start implementing the procedures immediately and able to answer your client’s questions with knowledgeable confidence.
