As
part of the IAPAM's mission to provide enduring botox training, the
IAPAM is proud to provide all the training and resources needed for
physicians who are new to aesthetic medicine to safely add botox,
lasers, dermal fillers etc. to a practice, including how to safely
source botox.
Las
Vegas, Nevada, USA - January 4, 2013 -- In a recent news article,
"Federal drug regulators said that five Arizona doctors and
nurse practitioners are among more than 350 practices nationwide that
may have received a Canadian drug supplier's shipment of unapproved
Botox that could be counterfeit or unsafe."
The
IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Injection Training
and Dermal Filler Training provides physicians with all the
resources, information and tools to effectively and safely deliver
minimally invasive treatments to their patients, including training
on how to safely and properly source Botox, dermal fillers and other
cosmetic injectable products.
The
IAPAM has also created a NEW "Best Practices" video series,
including a video specifically on "Botox Injection Training -
Buying Cheap Botox from Canada" which can be viewed at
http://youtu.be/ISDGmNAQXXA.
The
IAPAM also teaches physicians who attend its Symposiums:
1.
Botox buyer beware
The
IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com)
teaches that "botox-like" injectables should never be
purchased through the internet. The red-flags associated with
internet offerings range from unrealistically low pricing to a lack
of knowledge regarding the potential side affects that can accompany
the administration of a neurotoxin into the body. Also, it's
important to ensure the vial being used is not counterfeit; look for
the 3-d hologram to ensure its is the FDA approved product,"
says IAPAM executive-director, Jeff Russell.
2.
IAPAM trained physicians are comprehensively educated in all cosmetic
injectable outcomes
Physicians
should complete a comprehensive, clinical training programs like the
IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium, to ensure they are expertly
trained in botox and other minimally invasive treatments. This
translates into ensuring that they are trained in the latest
injection techniques, how to safely source Botox, dermal fillers and
other injectables, and are comfortable with dealing with any possible
adverse event due to these procedure. Also, by becoming a member
(http://iapam.com/aboutiapam/membership)
of the IAPAM, physicians are recognized as a member of an
internationally accredited aesthetic association.
The
IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium training includes:
-
dedicated instruction from board-certified dermatologists, who are
true experts of the skin and cosmetic injectables;
-
hands-on practice in the best injection techniques;
-
botox training at a multi-million dollar medical practice, not in a
hotel room; and
-
an environment that does not allow exhibitors, giving doctors more
time for education.
