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

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.”

IAPAM Announces Dates for its Next Symposium with Botox Injection Training: June 15-16

Leave a comment

The IAPAM announces the dates for its next Aesthetic Medicine Symposium in Scottsdale, AZ: June 15-16, 2013.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – May 8, 2013 — By analyzing recent aesthetic medicine statistics published by the ASPS, the ASAPS and the AAFPRS, the IAPAM has identified that in 2013, offering aesthetic medical treatments from botox to lasers for skin rejuvenation will result in the growth of a medical practice. To support this growth, the IAPAM offers the industry’s most comprehensive, hands-on botox and aesthetic medicine training. Today, it announces the dates for its next Aesthetic Medicine Symposium in Scottsdale, AZ: June 15-16, 2013.

“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.”

This is illustrated in the recent statistics from ASPS (and echoed in the reports from the ASAPS and the AAFPRS), as there were 13 million non-surgical procedures performed in 2012; the top five minimally-invasive procedures being:

– 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.

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. facelifts 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 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.

IAPAM Announces Dates for its Next 2013 Symposium with Botox Injection Training: May 4 & 5

Leave a comment

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 — 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.

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.

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.

Come and use the ever-expanding content on the IAPAM’s Website. Also, follow the IAPAM’s Executive Director, Jeff Russell, as he provides timely advice to physicians in his weekly blog (http://iapam.com/category/iapam-blog) and subscribe to our Aesthetic Medicine News RSS Feed (http://feeds.feedburner.com/AestheticMedicineNews) to receive breaking news about aesthetic medicine advances.
