Dr. Katz offers comprehensive courses: Course 1 is Therapeutics and Comprehensive Facial Esthetics with Botulinum Neurotoxins. Course 2 (see bottom of page) is how to improve facial profiles (chins, cheekbones) as well as soft tissue esthetics (lips, nasiolabial folds, Marrionette lines). Course 3 is How to Legalize and manage a profitable Medical Spa.

Course 1: BOTULINUM TOXIN  (BOTOX®) HANDS-ON TRAINING FOR ESTHETICS AND THERAPEUTICS

2 options:

a) Injecting live patients  – attendees should be licensed in the state where the course is taking place. Tuition $1695

b) Simulated faces and skins – for medical professionals not licensed at the location of course. Attendees can assess, diagnose and treatment plan live patients then inject on a simulated face and skin under one-on-one supervision. Attention will be given on dosage, needle angles and depth relative to patient types. Attendees can inject at a future live patient practical session in their state or at a location that will allow live injecting for no additional tuition fees. Call for details. Tuition $1295

These courses for medical professionals focuses on therapeutics and/or associated esthetics using Botulinim toxins (like Botox). Learn to limit unwarranted pericranial muscle spasm and clenching associated with migraine, TMD and depression without usingmuscle relaxants, tricyclic anti-depressant drugs or oral splints. You will also learn how to relax masticatory muscles that compress blood vessels and nerves implicated in the initiation and perpetuation of migraine and depression.

By the end of the programs, after comprehensive one-on-one training on your model patient, participants should be able to:

  • Perform an efficient comprehensive patient evaluation for best esthetic and therapeutic outcomes
  • Assess  and consult with your patients for  Botox and  peri-oral dermal filler treatments
  • Understand the indications and contraindications for these treatments and techniques
  • Locate the ideal anatomical sites and injection depths as they relate to the pericranial anatomy of the head and neck
  • Understand the physiology and pharmacology of facial injectibles
  • Apply safety, risk and side-effects of botulinum toxin and dermal fillers injectable therapy
  • Combine botulinum neurotoxin and dermal filler therapy with therapeutic and esthetic treatment plans
  • Understand Botulinium toxin therapeutic treatment of migraine, depression, TMD, facial pain and parafunctional clenching cases
  • Know when not to use Botox with bruxers
  • lifting up the corners of the mouth for esthetics and to prevent cheilitis
  • Smooth lip lines and eliminating vertical “smokers” lines – determining whether Botox or fillers are ideal

New Botox-filler combination procedures that enhance and prolong chin and cheekbones build-ups are covered. The pharmacology and physiological mechanisms for all Botulinum toxins (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Myoblock) and new anesthetic enhanced fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Voluma) on the US market are reviewed. Real live patients will be presented and treated with the goal of helping the attendee become more comfortable in diagnosis and treatment.

Attendees are invite to bring their own local anesthetic syringes if they do not want to use a 5cc disposable syringe.

What you will learn:

  • Ideal pre-treatment anesthesia –instant anesthesia with minimal local anesthetic. This is important in preventing inflammation and distortion of the tissues prior to injecting. Pre-treatment assessment becomes difficult if too much or the wrong anesthetic is used.

The patients that need the treatment the least are your best patients.
