With
the Affordable Care Act now through the supreme court, many
physicians are looking at adding non-insurance covered procedures to
their practices. Minimally invasive procedures, like Botox ®, dermal
fillers and laser treatments, have surged by 356% reported the ASAPS
and Americans spent more than $10 billion on cosmetic procedures in
2011, according to the ASAPS's statistics. Patients, ages 35 to 50
had the most procedures last year, nearly four million or 43% of the
total, and patients ages 51 to 64 had an additional 28% the ASAPS
announced.
Las
Vegas, Nevada, USA - August 28, 2012 -- Equally, as the demand
for Botox ® continues, Botox ® sales have skyrocketed in 2012.
Allergan announced that for the full year, 2012, it expects worldwide
net sales from the wrinkle treatment Botox ® to climb to between
"$1,760 million and $1,800 million." Given the continued
popularity of Botox ® as the number one non-surgical aesthetic
medical treatment, physicians who receive expert certification and
Botox ® training, like that offered at the IAPAM's Aesthetic
Medicine Symposium, can capitalize on this ever growing market.
The
IAPAM Training Difference
Botox
® training is the central component of the IAPAM's Aesthetic
Medicine Symposium
(http://iapam.com/aesthetic-medicine-symposium-botox-training)
which offers comprehensive instruction on the top 5 minimally
invasive procedures:
-
Botox ® injection;
-
soft tissue fillers;
-
chemical peels;
-
medical microdermabrasion; and
-
laser hair removal.
The
key to success in the aesthetic industry is not performing one
procedure, but combining treatments to give your patients the results
they desire. Moreover, "physicians now see the importance in not
having Botox ® training in an unclean hotel room, and are choosing
the IAPAM’s aesthetic medicine symposium since its done in a large
multi-million dollar aesthetic medical practice which gives them the
opportunity to learn proper Botox ® injection technique," says
Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com).
Board-certified
dermatologist and IAPAM faculty member, Dr. Jennifer Linder,
emphasizes that "any effective training program should provide
tips on how to give an effective consultation with each patient. This
should include a thorough evaluation of the individual
characteristics of the face, a comprehensive discussion with the
patient regarding risks and benefits, and most importantly, how to
appropriately set and manage realistic patient expectations."
Fellow Symposium instructor, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Toni
C. Stockton, trains registrants on the latest technologies and
products, from Botox ® to Dysport ®. She also educates physicians
on dealing with possible adverse events due to the procedure.
