It’s fairly common for practitioners to only want to implement cosmetic Botox treatments in their practice. However, most practitioners are unaware that there is a prominent synergy between the therapeutic and aesthetic uses for cosmetic injectables like botulinum toxin. Many patients (nearly 2/3rds of all female dental patients) experience some type of jaw or migraine pain, providing botulinum toxin for more than cosmetic purposes is an essential role for trained dentists, physicians and nurses.

Botox: Improving The Way People Look and Feel

When botulinum toxin is used for aesthetic concerns—like treating fine lines and wrinkles—it also provides pain-relief effects in that muscular area. Likewise, when botulinum toxin is injected at specific points for managing muscle pain or fatigue, the patient also enjoys cosmetic benefits. They feel better and look better in both situations, regardless of why the injectable medication was used.

Understanding Proper Marking, Placement, and Dosa...

A well-trained team is essential when it comes to offering elective services in your practice. Staff knowledge of the product, treatment processes and results helps connect on a more personal level with patients who are considering those procedures. Especially when it comes to popular aesthetic and therapeutic injectable treatments like botulinum toxin.

Here are five reasons why every practice offering injectables treatments needs to cross-train its team as soon as than plan to integrate the service in their clinic:

1. Patient Education:

   
   Whether a patient is calling the office to make an initial inquiry or there’s already a patient seated in the operatory who has questions, you want every team member to communicate accurate, positive information regarding your services and treatments. Confusion or lack of training can deter prospective patients, especially if they’re just beginning the investigative phase. You’ve invested in your training, now you need a qualified team to support y

When you’re an experienced Botox injector, details matter. So do the Botox photographs that you have to show your patients. High-quality photographs can be a powerful tool for building trust and demonstrating your expertise. Here are four reasons why your team should be trained in standardized photography skills.

#1 - 99% Case Acceptance for Botox Treatment 

No matter how much you excel at a particular aesthetic treatment, your prospective patients will want to see proof. Having an onsite photography team and private portrait studio, or dedicated photography area, will allow you to easily capture pictures of your completed Botox cases before and after photos to show patients during treatment plan presentations. According to studies, offices with quality case pictures had a 99% case acceptance rate compared to those that did not.

#2 - It Only Takes One Great Series to Make a Difference

The quality of a before and after photo speaks for more than just the ...

As a healthcare provider, you already have an intense understanding of head and neck anatomy. But when it comes to administering aesthetic medications like botulinum toxin type A (Botox®/Dysport), is it enough?

Here are three reasons why all providers (including dentists, physicians and nurses) need an additional level of advanced facial anatomy training prior to learning how to inject botulinum toxin.

1. Most negative side effects are due to the Injector's application techniques 

When it comes to aesthetic injectables, one of the first questions patients often ask is “What are the side effects?” What most of them fail to realize is that 90% of the negative side effects of injectables treatments are because of the way they’re administered by their healthcare provider. Particularly because of the close proximity of the muscles of facial expression and how closely and accurately the drug must be applied to muscles. With the right and comprehensive training, aesthetic injectabl...
