IAPAM Announces Next Aesthetic Medicine Symposium in Scottsdale: May 17-18

April 12, 2014 staronepr Leave a comment

The IAPAM announces its next Aesthetic Medicine Symposium: May 17-18 in Scottsdale, AZ.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (April 12, 2014) — Medical practices can thrive by adding non-insurance based services to their practices, such as botox, dermal fillers, anti-aging treatments (chemical peels/ microdermabrasion), lasers for hair removal/tattoo removal & non-invasive body sculpting, and medically supervised weight management. To educate physicians on how to profitably add these procedures to their practices, the IAPAM has spaces remaining at its next Aesthetic Medicine Symposium: May 17-18 in Scottsdale, AZ.

There has been much talk in the physician community regarding Obamacare: the Affordable Care Act or the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). Many physicians are concerned about how this new program will impact the health of their patients and the health of their medical practices.

However, there is evidence that by adding minimally-invasive treatments, such as: botox, dermal fillers, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, body contouring technologies (e.g. skin tightening, fat reduction), lasers for skin rejuvenation/tattoo removal/hair removal, and medically supervised weight management programs (e.g. the hCG Diet), the income of a practice will increase, since payments for these treatments are made directly and immediately to the clinic.

Therefore, to provide physicians seeking both clinical and business training in adding these aesthetic modalities, the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine ( IAPAM ) designed its Aesthetic Medicine Symposium to give physicians ALL the information, physician resources, patient materials, practice tools (e.g. editable consent forms, etc.), clinical DVDs, and industry-leading didactic and hands-on training, that they need to begin offering aesthetics when they finish the conference.

The IAPAM is the only complete education program that offers:

• An Accelerated program: physicians and their staff can be certified over a weekend;
• Clinical training DVDs to take back to one’s practice;
• Board Certified Dermatologists as instructors;
• Internationally Recognized Certification;
• CME (Continuing Medical Education) credits;
• 1 Year of comprehensive Practice Support (which continues as long as one is a member);
• And much, much, more!

“The IAPAM has noticed a sharp increase in the registrations for its cosmetic procedures, hands-on, CME training programs like botox/fillers, lasers, microdermabrasion, and non-invasive body shaping; along with its medically supervised weight loss program, all of which are not insurance-covered procedures, and which are in demand by a majority of physicians’ existing patients,” says Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com).

IAPAM Announces Next Aesthetic Medicine Symposium Dates: April 5-6

February 21, 2014 staronepr Leave a comment

The IAPAM has announced the next dates for its respected Aesthetic Medicine Symposium: April 5-6, 2014 in Scottsdale, AZ.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (February 20, 2014) — Obamacare promises to make changes that will hopefully help the masses, but clearly there are a number of challenges that physicians will face as a result. However, medical practices can thrive by adding ‘non-insurance based services’ to their portfolio, such as dermal fillers, botox injections, anti-aging treatments, non-invasive body sculpting, and medically supervised weight management. To assist physicians in profitably adding these procedures and programs to their practices, the IAPAM has announced the next dates for its respected Aesthetic Medicine Symposium: April 5-6, 2014 in Scottsdale, AZ.

There has been much talk in the media and physician community regarding the Affordable Care Act, well known as ‘Obamacare’ or the ‘Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’ (PPACA). Many physicians members are concerned about how this new program will impact the health of their patients and the health of their medical practices.

However, there is evidence that by adding non-invasive treatments to a practice, such as botox, dermal fillers, microdermabrasion/microchanneling, chemical peels, body contouring technologies (e.g. skin tightening, fat reduction), lasers for skin rejuvenation/tattoo removal/hair removal, and medically supervised weight management programs (e.g. hCG Diet), would increase the income a practice is able to make as payments will have to be made directly and immediately to undergo these procedures.

To support physicians seeking both clinical and business training in adding these aesthetic modalities, the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine (IAPAM) designed its Aesthetic Medicine Symposium to give physicians all the information, forms, DVDs, hands-on training, etc. they need to begin offering aesthetics when they finish the conference.

The IAPAM is the only complete program that offers:

– An Accelerated program; physicians and their staff can be certified over a weekend;

– 1 Year of Practice Support (which continues as long as one is a member);
– And much, much, more!

“The IAPAM has noticed a sharp increase in the registrations for its cosmetic procedures hands-on CME training programs like botox/fillers, lasers, medical microdermabrasion, and non-invasive body shaping; along with its medically supervised weight loss program, all of which are not insurance covered and affect a majority of their existing patients,” says Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com). “Patients may not get the long term benefits of a face lift, but with a combination treatment of botox, dermal fillers, weight loss, etc. they can get a great result at a fraction of the price.”

IAPAM Announces Dates for its Next Symposium with Botox Injection Training: September 14-15

July 4, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium was specifically designed as a “one-stop” program to add non-insurance based medical procedures to a practice, or to start a new medspa. Today, the IAPAM announces the dates for its next Aesthetic Medicine Symposium in Scottsdale, Arizona: September 14-15, 2013.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – July 4, 2013 — With all the talk of Obamacare and reductions in insurance reimbursements in the US among physicians, it is more important than ever to educate physicians that they cannot just offer botox if they want to make money. They need to offer all the top 5 minimally-invasive procedures coupled with a weight loss program. The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium was specifically designed as a “one-stop” program to add non-insurance based medical procedures to a practice, or to start a new medspa. Today, the IAPAM announces the dates for its next Aesthetic Medicine Symposium in Scottsdale, Arizona: September 14-15, 2013.

The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium was designed to give physicians all the information, forms, DVDs, hands-on training, etc. that they need to begin offering aesthetics when they finish the conference. As well, it is important to understand that botox is not a profit centre, just a gateway to make money with other aesthetic procedures. Only the IAPAM’s Symposium teaches physicians about this principle….. no one else is offering this competitive intelligence.

Indeed, while this is nothing new, but offering non-insurance based procedures is more on the top of the minds to physicians lately, and the IAPAM understands this. The IAPAM is the only complete program that offers:

– An Accelerated program; physicians and their staff can be certified over a weekend;
– 19 training DVD’s to take back to one’s practice;
– Board certified Dermatologists as instructors;
– Internationally recognized Certification;
– CME (Continuing Medical Education) credits;
– 1 Year practice support (continues as long as a member); and much, much, more!

“More patients are turning to the more inexpensive non-invasive procedures rather than surgical cosmetic procedures,” says Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine (http://www.iapam.com). “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.”

2012 Aesthetic Medicine Stats Confirm Botox Grows a Medical Practice

May 3, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

The economy is seeing an upturn and so too is the aesthetic medical industry. The ASPS, ASASP and the AAFPRS published that in 2012 cosmetic procedures, both surgical and minimally invasive were up over 2011.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – May 3, 2013 — The economy is seeing an upturn and so too is the aesthetic medical industry. The ASPS, ASASP and the AAFPRS published that in 2012 cosmetic procedures, both surgical and minimally invasive were up over 2011. The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium offers the most comprehensive, hands on, live demonstration and didactic instruction in all of the top 5 non-invasive procedures that the these aesthetic medical association report on, and offers unparalleled business support to physicians as they build successful aesthetic medical practices and capture the continued growth in the minimally-invasive market in 2013.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reported that “surgical procedures grew only by 1% in 2012, but non-surgical treatments, such as botox, dermal fillers and chemical peels grew by 6%.” “More people are turning to the more inexpensive non-invasive procedures rather than surgical cosmetic procedures,” says Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine (http://www.iapam.com). “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.” In the recent report from ASPS, there were 13 million non-surgical procedures performed in 2012, and the top five minimally-invasive procedures were:

•Botulinum toxin type A (6.1 million procedures, up 8 percent)
•Soft tissue fillers (2 million procedures, up 5 percent)
•Chemical peel (1.1 million procedures, up 2 percent)
•Laser hair removal (1.1 million procedures, up 4 percent)
•Microdermabrasion (974,000 procedures, up 8 percent)

“For the third consecutive year, the overall growth in cosmetic surgery continues to be driven by a significant rise in minimally-invasive procedures,” confirmed Dr. Gregory Evans, MD, President of the ASPS.

Equally, reports from the American Academy of Facial, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) confirms the increasing popularity of non-surgical treatments, notably, the number of men having botox, which was up 27% from 2011, with hyaluronic acid fillers and microdermabrasion also among the most popular maintenance treatments.

Finally, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) echoes the findings of the other aesthetic medicine and cosmetic surgery societies. “There were over 10 million surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures performed in the United States in 2012. Surgical procedures accounted for 17% of the total number of procedures and 61% of the total expenditures, with nonsurgical procedures making up 83% of the total number of procedures and 39% of total expenditures,” and again, botox led the way in the number of procedures performed.

Jeff Russell concurs. “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 treatments, microdermabrasion and chemical peels are in tremendous demand by patients, and we are seeing a correlating increase in the demand for our training.

IAPAM Enhances Website with Overview of Xeomin

March 13, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

The IAPAM has enhanced its globally-respected website (IAPAM.com) with new content on the newest player in the injectables arena: Xeomin.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – March 12, 2013 — The IAPAM has enhanced its globally-respected website (http://www.iapam.com) with new content on the newest player in the injectables arena: Xeomin. As part of the IAPAM’s commitment to keeping physicians and patient informed, the Aesthetic Resources pages provide consumers and doctors with treatment-focused content and timely intelligence on the aesthetic medicine industry’s leading products and procedures.

After a 10 month injunction, Xeomin is again being launched in the US as a treatment of glabellar lines. Therefore, the IAPAM announces the launch of a NEW Aesthetic Resources Page on Xeomin (http://iapam.com/xeomin-incobotulinumtoxina). This NEW content provides an overview of this new and recently approved neurotoxin, and is aimed to educate physicians and patients alike on the pros and cons of this new competitor to botox.

Providing physicians, their staff and consumers with DYNAMIC CONTENT is the mission of the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine (IAPAM). Comprised of physicians, business experts, researchers and communications specialists, the IAPAM Team is driven to ensure that its website, (IAPAM.com), is the best one-stop ‘window’ for both physicians new to aesthetic medicine, as well as seasoned professionals and patients. IAPAM.com is dedicated to keeping physicians and patients up to date with ever-changing, relevant information on current clinical treatments, costs benefits, business improvements, horizon technologies and global trends in the aesthetic medical arena.

The new page on Xeomin (http://iapam.com/xeomin-incobotulinumtoxina), offers an Executive Summary including intelligence such as:

– The main difference between Xeomin and Botox or Dysport, is that Xeomin contains just one ingredient: botulinum toxin A.
– Xeomin is a “naked injectable,” meaning that it does not contain any additives. A benefit of a pure-form injectable is that the human body is less likely to become resistant to it.
– Xeomin is the only one of the three (Xeomin, Botox and Dysport) that does not need to be refrigerated before use, and much much more.

IAPAM’s Botox Training Teaches Best Practices

January 4, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

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.

Physicians Agree that the IAPAM’s hCG and Botox Training Hands on Sessions are the Best

October 4, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

Physicians are unanimous that the IAPAM’s Symposium with Botox ® Training and the IAPAM hCG Training are, “a good value of time and money,.expectations are absolutely met, and the hCG Training is very well worth it!” The newest physicians reviews were published today on the IAPAM website.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – October 4, 2012 — Physician rave about the IAPAM’s Symposium with Botox ® training (http://iapam.com/botox-training) and the IAPAM’s comprehensive and respected Physician hCG Training (http://www.hcgtraining.com). The latest reviews are in, and physicians agree that the IAPAM is the only physician-lead training organization that teaches doctors how to safely and profitably add $100,000+ a year in non-insurance based revenue to their practices.

The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine’s (http://www.iapam.com) hCG Training and Botox ® Training programs are the best aesthetic medical educational programs offered in North America. No other program in the U.S. offers a combination of expert, physician-led hands on botox ® and aesthetic medicine training coupled with forums where doctors, of all medical specialties, come together to learn and share their experiences. The IAPAM also offers long term clinical and business support to physicians who are adding aesthetic medical treatments and/or hCG to a practice, and attendees of the IAPAM’s hCG Training and Symposiums with Botox ® training receive certification by the IAPAM, a voluntary professional association of physicians and supporters, which sets standards for the aesthetic medical profession.

Since 2006, over 1300 physicians and their staff have taken the IAPAM’s hCG and Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training courses, and here are the latest reviews:

* “Hands on sessions were the best. Helped tackle the real logistics of application. Initially I felt [the Symposium] was expensive, but the quality of presentation was worth it. For physicians, it is the “pearls” of the experienced presenters that was the best part.” T. Malyk, MD (Sept ’12)
* “The hCG Training [was of most interest to me] because it is easy to start or add to a practice. It was excellent and very informative.” B. Ramirez, MD (Sept ’12)
* “All exceeded my expectations, from Marisa to Jeff…everything was kept on time. Dr. Wild was one of the best instructors I have seen.” T. B. Bownik, MD (Sept ’12)
* “[The topic of most interest to me] was the business of aesthetic medicine because I run my own clinic -[very satisfied with that presentation!] The [hCG Training] was [equally] very enjoyable! Thank you.” T. Lawson, ND (Sept ’12)
* “Botox ® and fillers was why I came, and Cindy Graf’s Business lecture; I really enjoyed It was so practical!” N. Monahan, MD (Sept ’12)
* I “absolutely” found the Symposium to be a good value of time and money, and my expectations were met, “absolutely!….and the hCG Training was [equally] very well worth it!” P. Spisak, ARNP (Sept ’12)
* The topic of most interest to me was the “relative profitability from different treatments, and the application of lasers. Excellent course. Appreciated the candor [of the presenters] re: pricing, etc. and the realities of practice and products recommended or not.” G. Beatty, MD (Sept ’12)
* “Excellent investment. All areas [covered] were pertinent. [The topic of most interest to me was the] hands-on botox ® and fillers class.” S. Payseur, MD (Sept ’12)
* “Everything [in the hCG Medical Weight Management Training Program] was completely worth it!’ C. Romero, MD (Sept ’12)
* I learned “many things” that were worth it to me….especially the “marketing tips!” M. Lary, MD (Sept ’12)

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.
