The
IAPAM has identified a correlation between the 2012 and 1Q 2013
increase in attendees at its hands-on Botox Training, and the growth
in 2012 in botox injection and dermal filler procedures. Physicians
looking to combat declining insurance reimbursements are looking to
add aesthetic medicine procedures like botox, dermal fillers, laser
hair removal, microdermabrasion and chemical peels to their
practices. To that end, the IAPAM supports physicians entering this
cash-based market by offering their NEXT dermatologist-led Aesthetic
Medicine Symposium with Botox Training in Scottsdale, Arizona on May
4-5, 2013.
Las
Vegas, Nevada, USA - March 27, 2013 -- Through discussion with
its members, and by analyzing recent aesthetic medicine statistics,
like the ASPS 2012 Plastic Surgery Procedural Statistics and the
ASAPS's Cosmetic Surgery National Data Bank Statistics 2012, the
IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com)
has identified that in 2012, aesthetic medicine physicians were
performing more botox and other cosmetic injectables procedures, more
chemical peel treatments, more laser skin rejuvenation, and more
medical microdermabrasions vs. more invasive treatments.
The
ASAPS reported that, "Americans spent almost $11 billion on
cosmetic procedures in 2012. Of that total..... $2 billion was spent
on injectable procedures; $1.8 billion was spent on skin rejuvenation
procedures; and over $483 million was spent on other nonsurgical
procedures, including laser hair removal and laser treatment of leg
veins. [Once again,] the most popular nonsurgical procedure was
injections of Botulinum Toxin Type A (including Botox and Dysport).
Cosmetic minimally-invasive procedures increased over 10% in the past
year, with almost 8.5 million procedures in 2012. Nonsurgical
procedures accounted for 83% of the total number of procedures
performed representing 39% of total expenditures, and the top five
minimally-invasive procedures were:
-
Botulinum Toxin Type A: 3,257,913
-
Hyaluronic Acid: 1,423,705
-
Laser Hair Removal: 883,893
-
Microdermabrasion: 498,821
-
Chemical Peel: 443,824"
In
support of this market growth, the IAPAM has tailored its educational
programs, like its Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Training
(http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com),
to ensure physicians have hands-on botox training, and can start
offering aesthetic medicine procedures immediately after attending.
Since
the key to growth in 2013 will be offering lower cost, short term
procedures (i.e. botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels,
physician-directed skin care and medical microdermabrasion) versus
higher cost, long term procedures (i.e. face lifts and breast
augmentation), physicians will seek out professional training
programs, offered in medical facilities not hotel rooms, and taught
by physicians and other expertly trained medical and business
personnel. The IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums with Botox
Training, Aesthetic Medicine Practice Start-Up Workshops and Clean
Start hCG for Weight Loss Seminars, are all designed by physicians
for physicians, to meet this essential educational need.
The
IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com)
leads its competitors in offering the most complete botox training
and aesthetic medicine education in North America. Attendees at the
IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums will have the competitive
advantage of learning from board-certified dermatologists and experts
in the fields of botox injection training, lasers, dermal fillers,
hCG for weight loss, chemical peels and microdermabrasion. Moreover,
the IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium
(http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com)
is specifically designed by physicians, for physicians. The IAPAM's
March 23-24, 2013 Symposium has integrated the most important
clinical, aesthetic medicine business, and botox training ALL into
one weekend, including:
-
dedicated instruction from board-certified dermatologists, who are
true experts of the skin and cosmetic injectables;
-
hands-on practice in the best Botox 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 physicians more
time for education.
Attendees
also have the opportunity to:
1.
Attend the IAPAM's Aesthetic Practice Start-Up Workshop
(http://iapam.com/aesthetic-practice-startup-workshop)
on Monday, May 6, 2013, a program highlighting the latest
information on medspa business development and social media
marketing.
2.
Attend the IAPAM's Clean Start hCG Weight Loss Training
(http://www.hcgtraining.com)
on Friday, May 3, 2013, which covers the new Clean Start hCG
(human chorionic gonadotropin) for Weight Loss Program, prescription
appetite suppressants, ketogenic diet based programs, meal
replacements and B6/12 injections.
Add
aesthetic medicine modalities to a medical practice in 2013!
Physicians who have attended the Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with
Botox Injection Training applaud
(http://www.iapam.com/category/testimonials)
its comprehensiveness, and the year of practice support and client
service from the IAPAM definitely makes this association and this
training program different than the others.
