Certificate Program for Dentists: Botox® and Filler Course training
Why should you take this course?
With the high demand for the indications of neurotoxin (Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, Nuceiva®) in dental procedures, more and more dentists show interest in administering these products as part of their dental services.
The Certificate Program for Dentists: Botox®* training is a comprehensive course designed for beginners and also advanced dentists who are willing to add aesthetic therapeutic botox® services to their practice.
In this course, the practitioner will get introduced to the most common botox® treatments for the face, which are in the scope of practice of dentists. We will provide a full understanding of the most commonly used products in the market, as well as how to administer them safely for your client in order to receive the most effective results.
Important notice: The College of Dentists in some provinces have some restrictions in applying botox®. For example, they allow only therapeutic indications of botox® or they allow the treatment of certain areas only. We recommend you contact your licensing body before you register for the course. During the course, we will cover both therapeutic and aesthetic indications of botox® in the face area and you can use your training based on your own discretion.
