Statistics Confirm Increased Demand for Botox Correlates to Increase in Botox Training

Las Vegas, Nevada (March 28, 2012) — The IAPAM has identified a correlation between the 2012 increase in attendees at its hands-on Symposium with Botox ® Training, and the growth in 2011 in botox ® injections, dermal filler procedures and other non-surgical treatments. 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.

Through discussion with its members, and by analyzing recent aesthetic medicine statistics, like the ASPS 2011 Plastic Surgery Procedural Statistics and the ASAPS’s Cosmetic Surgery National Data Bank Statistics 2011, the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) has identified that in 2011, aesthetic medicine physicians were preforming more botox ® and other cosmetic injectables procedures, more chemical peel treatments, more laser skin rejuvenation, and more medical microdermabrasions vs. more invasive treatments.

As the ASAPS reports in March 2012, “Americans spent nearly $10 billion on cosmetic procedures in 2011. Of that total ….. $1.7 billion was spent on injectable procedures; $1.6 billion was spent on skin rejuvenation procedures; and over $360 million was spent on other nonsurgical procedures, including laser hair removal and laser treatment of leg veins.”

The ASAPS also found that from 1997 to 2011, there was a 356% increase in the total number of “minimally-invasive procedures such as injectables, skin resurfacing and laser procedures.” In support of this tremendous 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 (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/botoxtraining.html), laser training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/laser-training) and medical microdermabrasion training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/microdermabrasion-training), and can start offering aesthetic medical procedures immediately after attending.

Also, for the first time, the ASAPS reported on “the total number of non-surgical procedures being performed in their practices by BOTH physicians and their physician assistants and nurse injectors.” The results of this expanded survey showed almost a doubling in the numbers of minimally invasive procedures that were actually being performed from 2010 to 2011:

1. Botulinum Toxin Type A: 4,030,318 procedures performed in 2011
2. Hyaluronic Acid: 1,662,480 procedures performed in 2011
3. Laser Hair Removal: 1,452,880 procedures performed in 2011
4. Microdermabrasion: 794,357 procedures performed in 2011
5. IPL Laser Treatment: 726,125 procedures performed in 2011

Since the key to growth in 2012 will be offering lower cost, short term procedures (i.e. botox ®, dermal fillers, chemical peels, physician-directed skin care, laser skin rejuvenation, and medical microdermabrasion) versus higher cost, long term procedures (i.e. breast augmentation and tummy tucks), 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 hCG Medical Weight Management Seminars (http://www.hcgtraining.com), are all designed by physicians for physicians, to meet this essential educational need.

IAPAM Announces April Symposium Dates – April 28-29, 2012

Since 2006, over 1,000 physicians (MDs, DOs, NPs and PAs), as well as their staff have attended the IAPAM’s 2-day Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums and Friday hCG Physician Training sessions. Today, the IAPAM announces the dates for its April Symposium with Botox ® training, April 28-29, 2012.

Las Vegas, Nevada (March 15, 2012) — The number of patients turning to minimally invasive procedures like: Botox ® (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com), laser hair removal & skin rejuvenation, dermal filler injections, microdermabrasion, chemical peels and hCG for weight loss, continues to increase. In 2011, patient demand for these treatments increased by 6% from 2010. To support physicians in entering the aesthetic medicine field, the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) offers the “best medical training” in North America, with a focus on hands-on Botox Training.

IAPAM’s Symposiums are “all inclusive,” differentiating themselves from all other training offered in the US, by ensuring that physicians receive “everything they need” to start their aesthetic medicine programs. Registration includes “the complete package” of: hands on training, clinical training DVDs, patient consent forms, injection charts, protocol manuals, medical history forms, marketing samples, staff job descriptions, one year of dedicated and personal online and telephone practice support, and so much more.

Moreover, the IAPAM’s Symposium is the only aesthetic medical training program where all physician instructors and attending faculty own and operate successful weight loss and aesthetic practices. Physicians learn practical tips and best practices over the weekend that no other program can offer, and past attendees confirm that they save $10,000s in misguided marketing and administrative expenses. One physician raved that it “was the best investment in money and time [he] ever made.”

The Symposium provides:

– 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 botox ® training at a large successful, multi-million dollar medical practice, not in a hotel room.
– an environment that does not allow exhibitors, giving physicians more time for education.
– the opportunity to attend the Symposium’s Aesthetic Practice Startup 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 (http://www.hcgtraining.com). This session will cover hCG for weight loss, prescription appetite suppressants, ketogenic diet based programs, meal replacement and B6/12 injections.
– a set of 19 Aesthetic Medicine clinical and business DVDs to refresh one’s training or to train staff.

Physicians who have attended the Aesthetic Medicine Symposium testify to its value, which includes:

1. The latest trends in aesthetic medicine and how to use them to one’s advantage.
2. Steps on how to profitably integrate medical aesthetics procedures into a practice or build a patient base.
3. How to perform aesthetic patient consultations.
4. How to add the most profitable cosmetic injectable procedures, including: Botox ®, and dermal fillers (i.e. Juvederm ®, Restylane ®, and Perlane ®), chemical peels, and physician directed skin care.
5. Hands-on Botulinum Toxin Type A (i.e. Botox ®, Dysport ®, Xeomin ®) training.
6. Hands-on IPL / laser training.
7. Hands-on medical microdermabrasion training.
8. How to maximize revenues by offering Chemical Peels and Physician-grade Cosmeceutical Skin Care lines.

2011 Statistics Confirm that Botox Training Helps Physicians Capture Industry’s 5% Growth

Las Vegas, Nevada (February 18, 2012) — The IAPAM offers physicians aesthetic training, the leading botox ® training, hCG training, and associated aesthetic medicine education (including training on lasers for skin rejuvenation and hair removal, medical microdermabrasion and medical grade chemical peels). The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium offers the most comprehensive medical spa training, including: hands on, live demonstration and didactic instruction in all 5 of the top non-invasive procedures and offers unparalleled business support to physicians as they build successful aesthetic medical practices and capture the reported 5% growth in the minimally-invasive market in 2011.

“With these economic times, more people are turning to the more inexpensive non-invasive procedures rather than surgical cosmetic procedures. They may not get the long term benefits of a face lift, but with a combination treatment of Botox ® and dermal fillers, then can get a great result at a fraction of the price,” says Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine (http://www.iapam.com). As evidenced in 2011 statistical reports, patients agree. In the recent report from The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), minimally-invasive procedures increased for the second year in a row by 5 percent in 2011, with nearly 13.8 million procedures being performed, and “minimally-invasive procedures increased 6 percent, with nearly 12.2 million procedures in 2011.”

As in 2010, in 2011, the top five minimally-invasive procedures were:

• Botulinum toxin type A (5.7 million procedures, up 5 percent)
• Soft tissue fillers (1.9 million procedures, up 7 percent)
• Chemical peel (1.1 million procedures, down 3 percent)
• Laser hair removal (1.1 million procedures, up 15 percent)
• Microdermabrasion (900,000 procedures, up 9 percent)

“We are seeing notable increases in surgical procedures, such as facelifts, that reflect the demands of an aging boomer population,” said Dr. Malcolm Z. Roth, President of the ASPS. “However, the overall growth in cosmetic procedures is being primarily driven by a substantial rise in minimally-invasive procedures.”

Jeff Russell concurs with the findings of the aforementioned report. “We are hearing from our members that minimally invasive procedures like botox ® and other cosmetic injectables, medically supervised hCG weight loss (http://www.hcgtraining.com) as well as laser training, microdermabrasion and chemical peels are in tremendous demand by patients, and we are seeing a correlating increase in the demand for our training. Registration for our cornerstone training program, the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com), has steadily increased in the last 6 months. Physicians are realizing they not only need to offer botox ® treatments to their patients, but also laser hair removal, IPL skin rejuvenation, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion. Organizations, like the IAPAM, educate physicians on how to package these treatments for the most appealing and profitable outcomes.”

In line with these findings, the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium provides a forum for physicians to immerse themselves in training on these top 5 minimally invasive procedures. Leading the faculty is a team of renowned cosmetic dermatologists who cover aesthetic patient consultations, facial anatomy & musculature, product preparation, pain management, procedural protocols, post treatment issues and continuing practice support. Unlike other programs, the Botox ® Training is done in a clean, multi-million dollar medical facility, not a hotel room chair. Physicians who have completed the IAPAM’s hCG Training, Aesthetic Medicine Symposium and/or Aesthetic Practice Business Start-Up training have a competitive advantage.

IAPAM Reports that Botox Training Remains Popular

Las Vegas, Nevada (February 17, 2012) — The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums train physicians on how to safely, profitably and successfully add botox ®, hCG for weight loss, and other aesthetic modalities (lasers for skin rejuvenation, medical microdermabrasion and medical-grade chemical peels) to an existing medical practice. The IAPAM helps physicians enter this lucrative market by offering the industry’s best botox ® training and hCG training. To date, all of the 2011 and the January 2012 Aesthetic Medicine Symposium events have sold out.

Since 2006, the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) has offered physicians a competitive advantage through its comprehensive, hands-on, immersion into the field of aesthetic medicine and cosmetic injectables. The IAPAM’s (http://www.iapam.com) Symposium with Botox Training, is the only program which gives physicians a hands-on opportunity to learn from two board-certified dermatologists, who are true experts of the skin and cosmetic injectables. In order to ensure physicians learn the best injection techniques, the botox ® training is done in a medical practice, not in a hotel room chair. In addition, the Symposium does not allow exhibitors, giving physicians more time for education.

Physicians who attend the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium can revisit their educational experience by using the IAPAM’s 19 comprehensive training DVDs. The 3 clinical DVDs offers focused instruction and demonstrations on Botulinum Toxin (Botox ®) Injection Techniques, Dermal Filler Injection Techniques, Chemical Peel Techniques, and Microdermabrasion Techniques. These DVDs cover three key anti-aging treatment areas:

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.

Equally, Symposium attendees receive 16 Cosmetic Practice training DVDs. These resources allow physicians and their staff to re-immerse themselves in the IAPAM’s training, at their convenience.

The popularity of the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium is consistent with the demand by physicians for expert and accredited cosmetic injectables training. Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the IAPAM has witnessed the tremendous growth of minimally-invasive modalities. “We are hearing from our members that minimally invasive procedures like botox ®, dermal fillers as well as microdermabrasion continue to grow in demand by patients, and we are seeing a correlating increase in attendance at our Symposium with botox ® training. Moreover, physicians are realizing they not only need to offer botox ® treatments to their patients, but also laser hair removal, IPL skin rejuvenation, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion, and organizations like the IAPAM educate physicians and their staff on how to package treatments for the most appealing and profitable outcomes.”

Physicians Testify that IAPAM’s Symposium with Botox Training is an Exceptional Value

From its comprehensive hCG training to hands-on botox ® training, the first 2012 reviews from physicians for the IAPAM’s suite of training programs have been just been published. Physicians rate the IAPAM’s Botox ® Training and hCG Training as a “5 star value.”

Las Vegas, Nevada, February 15, 2012 — Unanimously, physicians rave about the physician-lead training provided at the IAPAM’s unique and respected Aesthetic Medicine Symposium (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) and the associated hCG Physician Training (http://www.hcgtraining.com). This is the only training in North America to offer hands-on, live demo and didactic instruction covering botox ® training, laser training, hCG training, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, dermal fillers, and the business of adding aesthetic medicine to a practice – all in one weekend.

The IAPAM’s (http://www.iapam.com) Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with botox ® training is different than any other educational program offered in North America. No other program in the U.S. offers this combination of comprehensive training in all the minimally invasive modalities in 2 days. The IAPAM is where the world’s physicians, of all medical specialties, come together to learn and share their experiences in aesthetic medicine. The IAPAM offers a suite of aesthetic medicine training programs from botox ® training to hCG training, along with aesthetic practice business training and membership in the IAPAM offers long term support to physicians adding botox ®, hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin) and other aesthetic medicine treatment to a practice. Finally, unlike programs offered by a private company, attendees of the Aesthetic Medicine Symposium receive certification by the IAPAM, a voluntary professional association of physicians and supporters, which sets standards for the aesthetic medical profession.

Reviews from physicians tell the story. Since 2006, over 1,000 physicians have taken the IAPAM’s aesthetic medicine training: Aesthetic Medicine Symposium, Physician hCG Medical Weight Management Training, Botox ® Training, Dermal Filler Training, Advanced Filler Training, and Chemical Peel Training, and in January 2012, here is what they have said:

IAPAM’s Botox Training Helps Physicians Capture the “Boomer” Market

The IAPAM offers physicians the industry’s leading botox training and associated facial aesthetics medicine education (including training on lasers for skin rejuvenation and hair removal, medical microdermabrasion and medical grade chemical peels). The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium is the only 2 day training designed by physicians for physicians, which offers hands on, live demonstration and didactic instruction in botox in all of the top 5 non-invasive procedures.

Las Vegas, NV, Wednesday – July 27, 2011 — According to the Pew Research Center population projections, “10,000 Americans are turning 65 every day.” Equally, the US Census Data shows that, “by 2030, 70 million Americans will be over the age of 65. This is one out of every five Americans,” or “fully 18% of the nation’s population.” This aging population will demand strategies and treatments to help them stay fit, look good and feel young as they move through their retirement years. To capture this exploding market, physicians who are expertly trained in minimally invasive, anti-aging modalities, are perfectly positioned to grow their healthcare businesses. The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium ( http://www.AestheticMedicineSymposium.com) is a weekend of comprehensive botox training as well as dermal filler training, laser training etc., and is the only multi-day, hands-on symposium, to expertly educate physicians on how to profitably add the top 5 anti-aging modalities to a practice:

* Botulinum toxin type A (Botox)
* Soft tissue (dermal) fillers
* Chemical peels
* Laser hair removal
* Microdermabrasion

Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine ( http://www.iapam.com ) emphasizes that, “we are hearing from our members that minimally invasive procedures like botox and other cosmetic injectables, medically supervised hCG weight loss, as well as laser training, microdermabrasion and chemical peels, are in tremendous demand by patients, and we are seeing a correlating increase in the demand for our training. Registration for our cornerstone training program, the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Training, has dramatically increased in the last 8-10 months. Physicians are realizing they need to package botox and dermal filler treatments with other modalities, including laser hair removal, IPL skin rejuvenation, medical grade chemical peels, and medical microdermabrasion. Organizations, like the IAPAM, educate physicians on how to bundle these treatments for the most appealing and profitable outcomes.”

The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium provides a forum for physicians to immerse themselves in training on these top 5 minimally invasive procedures. Leading the faculty is a team of renowned cosmetic dermatologists who cover aesthetic patient consultations, facial anatomy & musculature, product preparation, pain management, procedural protocols, post treatment issues and continuing practice support. Unlike other programs, the Botox Training is done in a clean, multi-million dollar medical facility, not a hotel room chair. Physicians who have completed the IAPAM’s multi-day integrated training programs, including hCG Weight Loss, Aesthetic Medicine Symposium and Aesthetic Practice Business Start-Up have a significant competitive advantage.

Botox Training with the IAPAM Helps Physicians Grow Their Healthcare Businesses

As the demand for minimally-invasive treatments continues to rise, specifically the demand for Botox, dermal fillers and other cosmetic injectables, physicians who are expertly trained through multi-day botox training programs like the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium, can capture this growing market and greatly benefit their practice’s bottom line.

Las Vegas, NV, Friday – July 08, 2011 — As reported by the IAPAM and other aesthetic medicine associations, there were 11.6 million cosmetic minimally-invasive procedures performed in 2010, and 5.4 million of these were botox injections and other neurotoxin treatments.

The IAPAM ( http://www.iapam.com ) confirms this trend, noting that each of their Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums ( http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com ) and its Botox and Dermal Filler Bootcamps and its Advanced Filler Training programs has sold out in the first half of 2011. Furthermore, while Botox training is still very popular, more and more physicians are also appreciating that the key to a successful and profitable aesthetic practice is not just offering Botox treatments, but also other skin rejuvenation procedures including: chemical peels, microdermabrasion, Laser/IPL skin rejuvenation, and physician-directed skin care.

In order to profitably add aesthetic medicine to a practice, 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 integrate 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 ®, and dermal fillers (i.e. Juvederm ®, Restylane ®, and Perlane ®), chemical peels, and physician directed skin care;
– Extensive, physician-led, 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 clinic’s specific patient profiles.

The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium program is unique in addressing all of these issues.

Physicians learn best practices from the IAPAM’s faculty physicians and experienced instructors, and botox training a key component of the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium, which also offers expert instruction in: Dermal Fillers, Microdermbarsion, Chemical Peels, and Lasers and Light Treatments & Hair Removal. this does not read right to me, but not sure how to reword it.

Leading the training is a team of renowned cosmetic dermatologists who will cover aesthetic patient consultations, facial anatomy & musculature, Botox ® and Dysport ® product preparation, pain management, procedural protocols, post treatment issues and continuing patient support.

IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium is the only multi-day training program that also offers one year of unlimited practice support to all registrants. Indeed, physicians who have attended the IAPAM’s Symposium, raved that, “the support you get from IAPAM afterwards definitely makes the course different than the others.” Also, the conference materials provided allow each attendee and their staff to review the key content of the aesthetic medicine conference. These materials include: the complete Building a Successful Cosmetic Medical Business training program (16 training DVD’s, including: Mastering the Consultation Process, Guide to Selling Photofacials, Marketing Your Cosmetic Practice, Sell Injectables and Explode Your Business, etc. as well as leader guide and 5 staff workbooks.)
