Physicians Attend the IAPAM’s Symposium with Botox Training To Capture the Boomer Market

September 8, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

The IAPAM’s Symposium with Botox ® training shows physicians how to add non-insurance covered procedures to their practices to meet the demand of their aging patient base.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – September 8, 2012 — The IAPAM offers physicians the leading Botox ® training, filler training, and associated facial aesthetic medical education (including training on lasers for skin rejuvenation and hair removal, microdermabrasion and medical grade chemical peels) at its respected Aesthetic Medicine Symposium. The IAPAM’s Symposium with Botox ® training shows physicians how to add non-insurance covered procedures to their practices to meet the demand of their aging patient base.

Minimally invasive procedures, like Botox ®, dermal fillers and laser treatments, have surged by 356% reported the ASAPS and 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. So, as the over 70 million baby boomers seek help to keep the dreaded signs of aging at bay, the US market for aesthetic medical treatments balloons.

To capture this exploding market, physicians who are expertly trained in minimally invasive, anti-aging modalities and hCG for medical weight loss, are best positioned to grow their healthcare businesses. The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium (http://iapam.com/aesthetic-medicine-symposium-botox-training) is a weekend of hands-on Botox ® training as well as dermal filler training, laser training, hCG training etc., and is the only multi-day, symposium to offer education for physicians on how to profitably add the top 5 anti-aging modalities to a practice.

Physicians who have completed the IAPAM’s multi-day integrated training program, including hCG Weight Loss, the AestheticMedicine Symposium and the Aesthetic Practice Business Start-Up have a significant competitive advantage.

IAPAM’s Botox Training Helps Physicians Add Cash Based Services to Their Practices

August 28, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

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.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – August 28, 2012 — 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.

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.

The Bounty of Cosmetic Treatments: The IAPAM’s Symposium with Botox ® Training

August 21, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

Attendees at the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium receive everything they need to start offering minimally invasive modalities to their patients right away.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – August 21, 2012 — In 2012, attendees at the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums have the competitive advantage of learning from board-certified dermatologists and experts in the fields of botox ® training, lasers & IPLs, dermal fillers, hCG for weight loss, medical grade chemical peels and medical micordermabrasion. The IAPAM leads its competitors in offering the most complete business and clinical botox ® training in North America.

A recent article by Annette M. Boyle for Medical Economics outlined the benefits of adding cash-based, non-surgical aesthetic medical treatments to an existing practice. The bottom line, as stated by Jeff Russell, Executive Director The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine’s (IAPAM) is that, “about 5 million nonsurgical cosmetic procedures were performed by aestheticians last year, frequently in a spa setting. Many primary care physicians (PCPs) have decided to meet demand for these services by actively controlling the “med” part of these “medspas”. This is evidenced by the fact that internists, family physicians, and obstetrician/gynecologists dominate the IAPAM’s training classes.”

The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with botox ® training is different than any other physician training program offered in North America, because it offers comprehensive aesthetic medicine education and long term support for physicians of all medical specialties. The IAPAM is where the world’s physicians come together to learn and share their experiences in aesthetic medicine.

So many times, physicians attend a weekend botox ® training course in the hopes of learning everything there is to know about opening a medical spa or aesthetic practice. Unfortunately, the reality of the market place is that most of these seminars are often run by laser manufacturers or consulting firms, both of whom are ultimately guiding one to purchase their products and services. Unlike programs offered by a private company, the Aesthetic Medicine Symposium is certified by the IAPAM, a voluntary professional association of physicians and supporters, which sets standards for the aesthetic medical profession.

Attendees at the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium receive everything they need to start offering minimally invasive modalities to their patients right away. The Symposium provides physicians with:

– dedicated instruction from board-certified dermatologists, who are true experts of the skin and cosmetic injectables.
– hands-on practice in the best injection techniques.
– delivery of the botox ® training at a medical practice, not in a hotel room.
– a set of the IAPAM’s comprehensive training DVDs, which cover:

1. Botulinum Toxin for Cosmetic Patients – lecture.
2. Botulinum Toxin and Dermal Fillers for Cosmetic Patients – live demonstration.
3. Chemical Peel and Microdermabrasion – live demonstration of techniques.

– an environment that does not allow exhibitors, giving physicians more time for education.
– the opportunity to attend the Symposium’s Aesthetic Practice Start-up Workshop, which is the only medical spa program highlighting the latest information on medspa business development and social media marketing.
– the unique opportunity to attend the full-day session on hCG and Medical Weight Management. This session will cover hCG for weight loss, the original Dr. Simeons hCG Protocol, prescription appetite suppressants, ketogenic diet based programs, meal replacement and B6/12 injections.

August 9, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

The IAPAM announces the dates for its next Aesthetic Medicine Symposium, September 22-23, 2012, in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – August 9, 2012 — The growth in minimally-invasive, less expensive anti-aging treatments such as Botox ®, dermal fillers, and hCG for weight loss continues to grow in the second half of 2012. From family physicians to internists to obstetricians & gynecologists, many physicians have decided to add these services to their existing practices. To meet this need, the IAPAM announces the dates for its next Aesthetic Medicine Symposium, September 22-23, 2012, in Scottsdale, Arizona.

As reported in Medical Economics, the increase in interest in the field of aesthetic medicine makes sense when one considers that, “the bulk of cosmetic procedure clients are the very people who dominate the patient panels of internists and family physicians. Women aged 35 to 50 years have 44% of these procedures, and women between the ages of 51 and 65 have an additional 20%.”

To help physicians add these non-surgical modalities to a practice, and enter this lucrative cash-based market, the IAPAM offers the industry’s leading dermatologist-led Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training in Scottsdale, Arizona. At the IAPAM’s September 22-23 Symposium (http://iapam.com/aesthetic-medicine-symposium-botox-training), physicians will receive everything they need, to start safely and profitably offering Botox ® and other in-demand aesthetic medicine procedures right away.

“About 5 million nonsurgical cosmetic procedures were performed by aestheticians last year, frequently in a spa setting,” says Jeff Russell, executive director of the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com). “Many primary care physicians (PCPs) have decided to meet the demand for these services by actively controlling the “med” part of these “medspas”.”

Therefore, the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium is specifically designed by physicians, for physicians, to educate and train on the top cosmetic procedures like: Botox ®, dermal filler injections, lasers for skin rejuvenation & laser hair removal, medical microdermabrasion, and medical grade chemical peels. The IAPAM’s September 22-23 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 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, September 24, 2012, a program highlighting the latest information on medspa business development and social media marketing.
2. Attend the IAPAM’s hCG Training (http://iapam.com/physician-weight-loss-training-using-hormones) on Friday, September 21, 2012, which covers hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) for weight loss, prescription appetite suppressants, ketogenic diet based programs, meal replacements and B6/12 injections.

Since 2006, over 1000 physicians (MDs, DOs, NPs, PAs, DDSs etc.) and their staff (RNs, MAs, practice managers, etc.), have attended the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums and hCG Training seminars, and been certified by the IAPAM. Also, the year of personalized practice support and the wealth of resources included with one’s training, definitely make the IAPAM’s programs different than the others.

The dates for the next Aesthetic Medicine Symposium are September 22-23, 2012 in Scottsdale, Arizona. For additional information or to register for the September 22-23 Aesthetic Medicine Symposium, please contact the IAPAM at 1-800-219-5108 ext. 704, or visit http://www.iapam.com.

Botox Training with the IAPAM Helps Physicians Boost Revenues

May 18, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

As physician incomes decline, physicians are looking to cash based services to boost their bottom lines.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – May 18, 2012 — Physician income has declined since 2010, according to the recent Medscape’s Physician Compensation Survey Report: 2012 Results. Even among the top earning specialties (radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, cardiologists and anesthesiologists) incomes declined, and the bottom earning specialties (pediatrics, family medicine, and internal medicine) saw no gains.

Also, proposed changes in healthcare reform worry physicians, and fifty-two percent of physicians believe that incomes will be further negatively affected under proposed initiatives.

So, to boost their bottom lines, many physicians are adding cash-based services, like botox, to their healthcare businesses. From lasers to hCG, physicians who attend the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) receive the training they need to add $100,000+ a year in non-insurance based revenue to an existing practice.

To insulate a practice from any looming changes in healthcare compensation, physicians need to incorporate these key fundamentals, as taught at the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium:

• Understanding the latest trends in aesthetic medicine and how to use them to one’s advantage;
• How to develop a successful business plan including steps on how to integrated medical aesthetics procedures into a practice or build a patient base;
• How to perform aesthetic patient consultations;
• How to add the most profitable cosmetic injectable procedures, including: Botox ®, Dysport ® and dermal fillers (i.e. Juvederm ®, Restylane ®, and Perlane ®), chemical peels, and physician directed skin care;
• Extensive, physician-lead, hands-on training in Botulinum Toxin Type A (i.e. Botox®), IPL / laser technology, and medical microdermabrasion; and
• How to maximize profits by offering the most profitable aesthetic medicine procedures like physician strength chemical peels, tailored to meet a specific clinic’s patient profiles.

The IAPAM offers the industry’s leading dermatologist-led Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training in Scottsdale, Arizona on June 2-3, 2012.

Las Vegas, Nevada, May 1, 2012 — The growth in minimally-invasive, less expensive anti-aging treatments such as Botox ®, dermal fillers, laser skin rejuvenation & laser hair removal, microdermabrasion and chemical peels, continues to explode in 2012. To help physicians add these non-surgical modalities to a practice, and enter this lucrative cash-based market, the IAPAM offers the industry’s leading dermatologist-led Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training in Scottsdale, Arizona on June 2-3, 2012.

With new technologies, as well as new ways to bundle and market existing procedures, the trend toward more minimally invasive procedures does not appear to be going away any time soon.” The IAPAM’s Jeff Russell shares that, “as we have seen with our past annual trends predictions, the key is creating an anti-aging program for each patient’s needs. Patients do on just come in for Botox ®, they want a combination of anti-aging treatments which often includes: neurotoxins, dermal fillers and skin rejuvenation with chemical peels, microdermabrasion and physician-directed skin care.”

Therefore, the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com is specifically designed by physicians, for physicians, to educate and train on the top cosmetic procedures like: Botox ®, dermal filler injections, lasers for skin rejuvenation & laser hair removal, medical microdermabrasion, and medical grade chemical peels.
