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)
* “[The hCG Training was] extremely thorough and practical. Very informative. Excellent.” C. Goss, MD (Sept ’12)
* The IAPAM’s hCG Medical Weight Management Training Seminar is “excellent.” C. Alcala, MD (Sept ’12)
* The topics of most importance to me were “the components of the hCG Weight Loss Plan and the financial potential of adding hCG to a practice. Well worth attendance for me!” M. J. Cobb, FNP (Sept ’12)

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

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

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

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.

To register for the upcoming Aesthetic Medicine Symposium on September 22-23, 2012, please contact the IAPAM at 1-800-219-5108 ext. 704 or visit http://iapam.com/aesthetic-medicine-symposium-botox-training

IAPAM Announces New Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training September 22-23, 2012

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.

IAPAM Announces Next Date for hCG Training: September 21, 2012

Leave a comment

The IAPAM helps physicians enter this lucrative market, by offering their physician-led hCG Training in Scottsdale, Arizona on September 21, 2012.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – August 4, 2012 — A recent study found that, “more than 1.7 billion people worldwide may be classified as overweight and need appropriate medical or surgical treatment with the goal of sustainable weight loss.” To meet this consumer demand, the IAPAM helps physicians enter this lucrative market, by offering their physician-led hCG Training in Scottsdale, Arizona on September 21, 2012. Physicians will learn and receive everything they need to start safely and profitably offering hCG for weight loss to their patients as they go back-to-school and back-to-work.

Researchers in Canada recently published a study that found “that over a six-year period 43% of the patients of a weight-management clinic dropped out of the program before achieving sustainable weight loss.” The study also found that “substantial early weight loss,” like that associated with an hCG program or bariatric surgery, served as a successful motivator to continue a weight loss program, and that of those patients who achieved a substantial early weight loss, only 12% dropped out of the their program.

To that end, the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) has trained over 700 physicians on how to effectively offer hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin) for “substantial early weight loss” to their patients. To date, well over 26,000 patients have successfully lost weight on hCG using the IAPAM’s Exclusive hCG Diet (http://www.hcgtraining.com), based on Dr. Simeons manuscript, Pounds and Inches (http://www.iapam.com/dr-simeons-pounds-and-inches-manuscript.html).

Join the IAPAM for its next hCG Training session of 2012, on September 21, 2012, and offer hCG for Weight Loss to your patients as they prepare to go back-to-school and back-to-work after the summer.

The IAPAM’s hCG Training includes everything a physician needs to add this program to a practice, such as:

– Detailed IAPAM hCG Program Protocols
– Patient selection criteria
– Common medical hCG contraindications
– Consent forms, medical history forms
– Patient hCG Program Guidebook to offer patients (hCG friendly recipes, food journal, tips)
– Patient PowerPoint presentations for the waiting room
– Phone scripts & call logs for your staff
– Legal/Insurance considerations, and current FDA status
– hCG ordering information and special pharmaceutical hCG pricing
– Special hCG Facebook discussion forum
– VLCD/LCD diet programs
– Meal replacement diet programs
– Ketogenic based diet programs
– Utilizing B6/B12 injections in weight loss
– Using prescription appetite suppressants in weight loss
– Metabolism testing as a profit center
– Laser assisted lipolysis
– Listing of one’s hCG Clinic in the IAPAM’s NEW hCG Diet Clinic Directory (http://www.hcgtraining.com/hcg-diet-clinics)

Moreover, the IAPAM’s respected program is taught by true hCG experts who operate hCG weight loss clinics, and who have completed the hCG Protocol themselves. This allows physicians and their staff to learn from the faculty’s vast experience. Finally, the IAPAM’s hCG Training is the only Physician hCG Training program in North America approved for a special medical malpractice rate for those who have attended and have been certified by the IAPAM. This medical malpractice coverage is not offered to any other hCG training program.

For additional information or to register for the September 21, 2012 hCG Training, please contact the IAPAM, at 1-800-219-5108 ext. 708, or visit http://www.hcgtraining.com or http://iapam.com/physician-weight-loss-training-using-hormones

IAPAM Publishes Reviews Affirming Symposium with Botox Training Exceeds Expectations

Leave a comment

Physicians affirm that attending the IAPAM’s hCG Training and Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Training “is the best money [they] have spent.”

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – June 26, 2012 — The latest reviews from physicians who have attended the IAPAM’s Training Seminars in Scottsdale, Arizona have been published. Physicians affirm that attending the IAPAM’s hCG Training and Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Training “is the best money [they] have spent.”

Physician testimonials about the physician-lead Symposium with Botox training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) and the IAPAM’s comprehensive and respected Physician hCG Training (http://www.hcgtraining.com) rave about how the IAPAM educates physicians on how to safely and profitably add $100,000+ a year in non-insurance based revenue to an existing practice.

The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine’s (http://www.iapam.com) hCG and Botox Training programs are different than any other educational programs offered in North America. No other programs in the U.S. offer this combination of expert-led training coupled with a forum where the world’s physicians, of all medical specialties, come together to learn and share their experiences. The IAPAM also offers long term support to physicians who are adding aesthetic medical treatments to a practice.

Unlike programs offered by private companies, attendees of the IAPAM’s Training receive certification by the IAPAM, a voluntary professional association of physicians and supporters, which sets standards for the aesthetic medical profession.

Since 2006, well 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:
