In a new study, low socioeconomic status (SES) appears to account for more of that disparity than does lack of knowledge of healthy eating habits and diet-related health risks.The study appears in the December issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association.

Physicians Rave about the IAPAM’s hCG Training

The reviews from physicians for the IAPAM’s 2011 series of hCG training seminars have been published. Physicians testify that the IAPAM’s hCG Training is an “excellent and methodical review of the hCG program.  The IAPAM’s hCG Training offers, “practical and medically sound information on establishing a successful hCG practice,” including “great ’starting a practice’ advice.”  The IAPAM’s hCG Training, “gives one no hesitation to starting up the IAPAM’s hCG program.” 
 
Universally, physicians rave (http://www.iapam.com/category/testimonials) about the physician-lead hCG training provided at the IAPAM’s unique and respected hcg Physician Training Seminar (http://www.hcgtraining.com). This is the only 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.   
 
The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine’s (http://www.iapam.com) hCG Training program is different than any other educational program offered in North America.  No other program in the U.S. offers this combination of comprehensive training and a forum where the world’s physicians, of all medical specialties, can come together to learn and share their experiences with hCG for weight loss. The IAPAM also offers long term support to physicians who are adding hcg and other aesthetic medicine treatments to a practice.  Finally, unlike programs offered by private companies, attendees of the IAPAM’s hCG Training for Physicians, receive certification by the IAPAM, a voluntary professional association of physicians and supporters, which sets standards for the aesthetic medical profession.

IAPAM Symposium Adds NEW Botox ® Training DVDs to help Physicians Succeed

Physicians can now revisit the comprehensive botox ® training and aesthetic medicine experience they receive, while attending the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training, by using the IAPAM’s 3 NEW clinical training DVDs, offering focused instruction on: botox ® training, dermal filler training and microdermabrasion & chemical peel training.
 
The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/botoxtraining) has long offered physicians a competitive advantage through its comprehensive, hands-on, “immersion” into the field of aesthetic medicine: botox ®, dermal fillers, lasers, medical microdermabrasion and medical-grade chemical peels. The IAPAM’s Symposium (http://www.iapam.com) is the only program which gives physicians an 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 large multi-million dollar medical practice, not in a hotel room chair. In addition, the Symposium does not allow exhibitors, giving physicians more time for focused education.
 
Now, to further compliment the hands-on botox ® training, the IAPAM is enhancing the Symposium experience by giving all attendees three NEW clinical DVDs.  Read more

IAPAM Announces Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training December 3-4, 2011

In this economy, patients are more likely to opt for minimally-invasive, less expensive anti-aging treatments such as Botox ®, dermal fillers, laser skin rejuvenation, microdermabrasion and medical-grade chemical peels. The IAPAM helps physicians enter this lucrative market by offering their dermatologist-led Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training in Scottsdale, Arizona on December 3-4, 2011. Physicians will learn and receive everything they need to start offering Botox ® and other in-demand aesthetic medicine procedures for the New Year.

As reported by the ASAPS, an article in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal reported that in two recent surveys, “half (53%) of respondents considering facial plastic surgery had been affected by the economy in their decision to move forward with medical antiaging treatments. The majority of affected respondents said they were likely to ….. pursue less-costly options such as microdermabrasion (32%) [or Botox ®].”  This heralds that the number of patients turning to minimally invasive cosmetic procedures like: Botox ® (http://www.iapam.com/botox-training), dermal filler injections, lasers for skin rejuvenation & hair removal (http://www.iapam.com/aesthetic-medicine-training/laser-training), medical microdermabrasion, and chemical peels will continue to increase in 2012.

November 1, 2011

(Las Vegas, Nevada - November 1, 2011) - The market for minimally invasive procedures continues to grow, and to capitalize on this growth, physicians must seek out the most comprehensive, hands-on, aesthetic medicine education.  The IAPAM’s 2-Day Aesthetic Medicine Symposium is the most focused training for physicians in Botox ®, dermal fillers, laser skin resurfacing & laser hair removal, chemical peels, microdermabrasion and hCG for Weight Loss.  Add these modalities to your practice for the new year by attending the IAPAM Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training on December 3-4, 2011 in Scottsdale, Arizona.
 
The results of two recent surveys were published in the September issue of the Aesthetic Surgery Journal.  The surveys were administered to both patients and physician members of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and revealed that many potential patients seeking facial rejuvenation, would preferentially pursue less costly nonsurgical procedures like Botox ® or dermal fillers, due to the impact of the current economy.
 
To capture this market, physicians are adding aesthetic medicine modalities, from Botox ® to hCG for weight loss, to their healthcare businesses.  To ensure the successful, safe and profitable addition of aesthetic medicine treatments to a medical practice or to launch a medical spa, the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) offers the most comprehensive, hands-on, 2-day training, covering: cosmetic injectables from Botox® to Perlane®, lasers, medical microdermabrasion and medical grade chemical peels.  Read more
