Physicians Take Advantage of Botox Growth with IAPAM’s Symposium with Botox Training

The IAPAM predicts strong growth in botox and dermal filler services in 2011, supported by recent results published by Allergan, the makers of Botox.  Physicians who incorporate these procedures into their practices, will reap significant reward in 2011.  The IAPAM’s goal is to provide industry-leading education for physicians by offering the field’s most comprehensive, hands-on, aesthetic training, including: the Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Training, The IAPAM’s Exclusive Physician hCG Training, Botox Training, Dermal Filler Training, Advanced Filler Training, and Chemical Peel Training.
 
The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) trains physicians on how to profitably add aesthetic medicine procedures, from botox to physician-directed skin care, to their practices.  The Symposium with Botox Training covers all of the ASPS’s Top 5 Minimally Invasive Procedures:

IAPAM Botox Training Helps Physicians meet 500% increase in Botox procedures

Botox injections have surged in popularity, rising 584 percent since 2000. The IAPAM is helping physicians enter this lucrative cash based services market by offering dermatologist-led Botox Training in at its Aesthetic Medicine Symposium in Scottsdale, Arizona. In just 2 days of comprehensive, hands-on, physician-led training, physicians will learn everything they need to know, to start offering Botox and other in-demand aesthetic medicine procedures.

According to statistics published by the ASPS, botox injections have exploded in popularity, rising almost 600 percent since 2000. In excess of 5.3 million botox treatments were performed in 2010, while other cosmetic procedures, such as rhinoplasty and face lifts have declined.  Injectables fueled the growth in cosmetic treatments, with soft tissue fillers, like fat injections, rising 14%.  These statistics translate into an increase in the number of patients seeking out botox (http://www.iapam.com/botox-training) and other minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, including: dermal filler injections, lasers for skin rejuvenation (http://www.iapam.com/aesthetic-medicine-training/laser-training), medical microdermabrasion, and chemical peels. 

To assist physicians in entering the aesthetic medicine field, the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) was designed by physicians for physicians, and has integrated the most important clinical, aesthetic medicine business, and botox training 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.

-  an environment that does not allow exhibitors, giving doctors more time for education. 

-  the opportunity to attend the Symposium’s Aesthetic Practice Startup Workshop (http://www.iapam.com/bootcamp.html), a program highlighting the latest information on medspa business development and social media marketing.

-  the opportunity to attend the IAPAM’s hCG/Medical Weight Management (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/physician-hcg-weight-loss-training), which covers hCG for weight loss, prescription appetite suppressants, ketogenic diet based programs, meal replacements and B6/12 injections.

  

To date, over 850 physicians, as well as their accompanying medspa managers, registered nurses, and assistants, have attended the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums and hCG for Weight Loss Training, and physicians who have attended the Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox training testify its comprehensiveness, and the year of practice support from the IAPAM definitely makes the course different than the others.

A preview of this training can be viewed on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of-jMxVNLOY.

Increase in Botox Training Correlates with Increased Demand for Botox Treatments

The IAPAM has identified a correlation between the 2011 increase in attendees at its hands-on Botox Training, and the growth in 2010 in Botox and dermal filler procedures. Physicians looking to combat declining insurance reimbursements are looking to add aesthetic medicine procedures like Botox, dermal filler, 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 2010 Plastic Surgery Procedural Statistics and the ASAPS’s Cosmetic Surgery National Data Bank Statistics 2010, the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) has identified that in 2010, 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. The ASPS reported that botox injections and other minimally-invasive procedures increased by 6% from 2009 to 2010. Also, men contributed significantly to this growth. Botox procedures increased 9% and dermal fillers treatments increased 10% for men.  Finally, business from repeat customers increased by 13% from 2009 to 2010. 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.  Read more

The IAPAM’s Botox Training can help Physicians Boost Profits

As the demand for botox and other minimally-invasive treatments continues to rise, physicians can capture this growing botox and other injectables market and greatly benefit their practices through expert botox training at multi-day seminars like the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Training (www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/botoxtraining).
 
As reported by ASPS, there were nearly 11.6 million minimally invasive procedures performed in 2010, with botox treatments leading the way. Equally, Allergan reported that sales of BOTOX Cosmetic increased 11% over 2009.
 
The IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) confirms this trend, noting that each of their Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) sold out in 2010.  Furthermore, while botox training (http://www.iapam.com/botoxtraining) 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 Cosmetic ®  treatments, but also other skin rejuvenation procedures including: chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and IPL/laser skin rejuvenation(http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/laser-training).   Read more

               

Membership in the IAPAM Helps Physicians Profitably Enter Aesthetic Medicine

Comprehensive botox training, hCG and medical weight loss education and business plan development are the foundations of a successful medical spa launch.  To provide the practical clinical and business training needed to open a medispa or integrate medical aesthetics into an existing practice, the IAPAM offers the industry’s most comprehensive Aesthetic Medicine Education Programs for new medspa physicians.

RealSelf’s Consumer Cosmetic Treatment Survey, conducted by Harris Interactive, reported that, “if money were not an issue,”  69% of adults would seek out minimally invasive procedures.  This was an increase over 2009 reports, by 14%.  Of the treatments that adults would entertain, teeth whitening was at the top of the list (48%), followed by hair removal (27%), cellulite treatments (14%), vein treatments (13%), dermal filler procedures (12%), laser skin treatments (9%), chemical peels and botox (7%).   

Therefore, given this growth in the accessibility and acceptance of aesthetic medicine procedures, it is very important that physicians understand: “what is working” and “what is not” in their practices, in order to have a successful and profitable medical spa. Through membership and training with the IAPAM (International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine), physicians are provided with insights from the top experts in the field of aesthetic medicine detailing their keys to launching and growing successful aesthetic medical practices.   

The following recommendations provide physicians with a proven blueprint for success: build one’s successful practice upon a solid foundation or strong business plan, incorporate industry best practices into each element of the operation of the business from staffing to marketing to customer service, and always keep an eye on the future trends of the industry and the specific needs of one’s patients and directions of one’s market.  Read more
